Open a UK company, remotely.
Incorporate a UK private limited company (Ltd) via Companies House in as little as 24 hours, a compliant registered office, director identity verification and every legal document, handled end to end. No travel, residents and non-residents welcome.
What you're setting up
A real company, not just a name.
A UK private limited company (Ltd) is its own legal person: it can sign contracts, invoice clients, open a bank account and hold assets in its own name, and your personal liability is limited to what you put in. It's the structure most founders, freelancers and international businesses choose to look established and protect themselves.
You don't have to live in the UK, or even visit. There's no nationality or residency requirement to own or direct a Ltd, and Carreh handles the local steps, filing, registered office and identity verification, so you can incorporate from anywhere.
| Sole trader | Limited company (Ltd) | |
|---|---|---|
| Legal status | You and the business are the same | A separate legal person |
| Personal liability | Unlimited, your assets are exposed | Limited to your investment |
| How profits are taxed | Income Tax on all profit | Corporation Tax; you draw salary/dividends |
| Credibility with clients | Lower | Higher, many clients prefer a Ltd |
| Admin | Minimal | Annual accounts + confirmation statement |
| Best for | Testing an idea, very small side income | Growing, contracting, raising money, going international |

Tell us about the company
You send the company name, the directors and shareholders and how shares are split, plus a short description of the business. We check the name is available and pick the right SIC (activity) codes with you.
Identity verification
Since 18 November 2025, Companies House requires every director and person with significant control to verify their identity. We walk each person through it quickly and securely, it's the one step people don't expect, so we make it painless.
We file with Companies House
We submit the incorporation. Approval typically comes back within 24 to 48 hours, sometimes the same day.
Documents & registered office
Your Certificate, Articles, share certificates and authentication code land in your dashboard, and your 12-month registered office is live for statutory mail.
Bank account & registrations
We guide you through opening a UK business bank account and register for VAT and PAYE where you need them, so you're ready to invoice and hire.
