Company Formation in the UK:

Types of Companies You Can Register in the UK
Some of the business structures in the UK are:
Private Limited Company (Ltd)
A company owned by the private shareholders. Liability on this company is limited in cases where personal assets are safeguarded in case business financial problems arise.
Public Limited Company
A company is said to be a PLC if shares in the same are allowed to be sold on the stock market to anybody in the public so that one can buy and thus become a part-owner of, or rather a shareholder of, the business.
Limited Liability Partnership
A company that has combined elements of both a partnership and a limited company, with this structure being such that it gives its partners the advantage of having some protection from liability.
Company Ltd by Guarantee
For non-profit making organisations, the liability of members is limited to a fixed amount they agree to contribute in case the organisation is wound up. This is agreed upon beforehand and can only be called upon at the time of winding up.
Company Interest Community
These are designed to serve the community, pursue social objectives, and further environmental goals. In such an entity, the profits are not to be distributed as shareholder dividends but reinvested for the public’s benefit.
Steps to Register a Company in the UK
If you're planning to register a company in the UK, the process can be completed in a few simple steps:
Choose Company Structure
For legal and tax obligations, select the most suitable company type that fits your business operation: sole trader, partnership, limited liability partnership, or a limited company.
Select Business Name and Address
Your business name must identify your business brand, be new, and should not resemble or be a trademark of others. For a limited company, you must register the name with Companies House and submit a registered office address where all correspondence for Company official purposes and legal documents can be delivered.
Register with HMRC
Once you’ve put up your structure and chosen a name, you must register with HM Revenue and Customs to fulfill tax obligations.
Consider Other Necessities
Before you commence trading, check for any additional requirements for your particular trade or industry. This may include health and safety regulations, licenses, or other regulatory compliance.
Bank Account Opening
Opening a business bank account will help you manage your finances and clear records.
