FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) -

The annual return UK should be delivered to the Registrar of Companies for registration within 42 days after the company’s return date. Different types of companies have different return date.

  • Private Company (except in the year of its incorporation)
    • Deliver an annual return in respect of every year within 42 days after the anniversary of the date of the company’s incorporation.
  • For Public/Guarantee Company
    • You must deliver an annual return in respect of every financial year.
    • The return date for a Public Company is 6 months after the end of the company’s accounting reference period and 9 months for Guarantee Company.

Accounting reference period is the period by reference to which the company’s annual financial statements are to be prepared.

You’ll need to provide:

  • Your limited company’s statutory accounts
  • The accounts required by your unincorporated association’s rules
  • Director’s loans (money owed to your business) that weren’t repaid by the end of the accounting period
  • Profit from selling assets (‘chargeable gains’)
  • Reliefs you’re claiming
  • Capital allowances you’re claiming for business assets
  • Losses you’re claiming

After the end of its financial year, your private limited company must prepare:

  • Full (‘statutory’) annual accounts
  • A Company Tax Return

A basic UK Private Limited Company (LTD) must include at least:

  • one director (individual)
  • one shareholder (individual or corporate)
  • a registered office address in the UK (PO box is not allowed).

Multistream International will provide a registered office address and secretarial services and can also provide a nominee director and a nominee shareholder if needed to protect your privacy.

There is no prescribed minimum share capital. Usual number of shares the UK Government will issue is 1000 at £1.00 each.

The minimum requirement to form a UK Private Limited Company (LTD) is at least one shareholder and one director, who can be the same person.

You do not need to be a UK individual to have a limited company. A foreigner can have 100% ownership of the UK company.
