Everything You Need to Know

Question 1

How long does it take to form a company in the UK?

Accepted Answer

A private limited company (Ltd) can typically be incorporated within 24 hours when filed electronically with Companies House. In most cases, same-day incorporation is possible. We handle the entire process on your behalf, from preparing the documents to confirming registration.

Question 2

Can a non-UK resident set up a company in the United Kingdom?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no requirement to be a UK resident or citizen to incorporate a UK company. Foreign nationals and overseas businesses can form a UK limited company. You will, however, need a registered office address in the UK — which Kevrux can provide.

Question 3

What is a private limited company (Ltd)?

Accepted Answer

A private limited company is the most common business structure in the UK. It is a separate legal entity from its owners, meaning your personal assets are protected from business liabilities. It also offers tax efficiency and credibility with clients and suppliers.

Question 4

What documents are required to form a UK company?

Accepted Answer

You will need to provide details of the company name, registered office address, director(s), shareholder(s), and share structure. We guide you through every requirement and prepare all documentation on your behalf.

Question 5

What is a registered office address and why do I need one?

Accepted Answer

Every UK company must have a registered office address — a physical UK address where official correspondence from Companies House and HMRC is received. It appears on the public register. Kevrux provides a prestigious London address at 124 City Road, EC1V 2NX for this purpose.

Question 6

Can I use my home address as a registered office?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but it is not recommended. Your registered office address is publicly visible on the Companies House register. Using a professional address protects your privacy and presents a more credible image to clients and partners.

Question 7

Can a foreign-owned UK company open a business bank account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though the process can be more involved than for UK-resident directors. We work with a network of UK banks and fintech providers who are experienced in onboarding international clients, and we guide you through the requirements to maximise your chances of approval.

Question 8

How long does it take to open a UK business bank account?

Accepted Answer

Traditional high-street banks can take several weeks due to compliance checks. Fintech and challenger banks often complete the process within a few days. We recommend the most suitable option based on your business type and circumstances.

Question 9

Do I need to register for VAT?

Accepted Answer

VAT registration is mandatory if your taxable turnover exceeds the current UK threshold (£90,000 as of 2024). You may also register voluntarily below this threshold, which can be beneficial if your clients are VAT-registered businesses. We advise on the right approach for your situation.

Question 10

What taxes does a UK company pay?

Accepted Answer

UK companies pay Corporation Tax on their profits (currently 25% for profits over £250,000, with a small profits rate of 19% for profits up to £50,000). Depending on your activities, you may also need to account for VAT, PAYE (for employees), and National Insurance contributions.

Question 11

What does Kevrux's business development service include?

Accepted Answer

Our business development service covers market entry strategy, business planning and financial modelling, partnership and network development, sales and commercial support, access to UK government grants and funding, and ongoing retained consultancy. We work with you to build a clear growth plan and then help you execute it.

Question 12

We're already set up in the UK — can Kevrux still help us grow?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our business development and consultancy services are available to businesses at any stage — whether you've just incorporated or have been trading in the UK for years. We focus on identifying growth opportunities, building the right partnerships, and providing strategic guidance to help you scale.

Question 13

Can Kevrux help us access UK government grants or funding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The UK offers a range of grants, tax incentives, and funding programmes — including R&D tax credits, Innovate UK grants, and regional development funds. We assess your eligibility, identify the most relevant programmes, and manage the application process on your behalf.

Question 14

How does the market entry strategy service work?

Accepted Answer

We start with a detailed briefing to understand your business, objectives, and target market. We then conduct market analysis, assess the competitive landscape, identify your ideal customer segments, and develop a practical roadmap for your UK launch. The output is a clear, actionable strategy — not a generic report.

Question 15

How do I get started with Kevrux?

Accepted Answer

Do you work with businesses from any country?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with entrepreneurs, investors, and businesses from across the world who wish to establish a presence in the United Kingdom. Our team has experience supporting clients from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond.

Question 17

Can Kevrux handle everything on my behalf?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a fully managed service covering company formation, registered office, banking introductions, VAT registration, compliance, recruitment, accounting, immigration, and business development consultancy. You can be based anywhere in the world — we take care of the UK-side formalities and growth support from start to finish.
