Startup & Non-UK Founder Essentials
Incorporating in the UK? Start with company name availability, prepare your memorandum of association and articles of association, then complete company registration. If you’re overseas, our team will guide non-UK resident tax advice, tax residency and applicable double taxation reliefs. Need apostille for investors? We manage apostille legalisation.
When Should You Outsource?
Common trigger points include closing your first funding round, hiring the first employees, crossing the VAT threshold, or needing board-grade reports for investors. If you’re already trading, we can take over mid-year and reconcile historic records, including year-end accounts and dormant company accounts where relevant.
