Register a UK limited company fast — with nominee director services for UK and non-UK residents. CG Incorporations handles formation, London address, banking guidance, VAT, and ongoing accounting for full UK compliance.

Looking to register a UK limited company quickly and compliantly? Pairing UK company registration with trusted nominee director services is a smart move for UK and non-UK residents alike. CG Incorporations supports founders end-to-end — from fast incorporation and a London address to banking support, VAT, and ongoing accounting — so you can focus on growth while we handle UK compliance.

Why the UK is a top jurisdiction for company formation

The UK offers fast online incorporation, strong legal protections, and a globally trusted business environment. Benefits include:

Key advantages

• Speed: many incorporations complete in 24–48 hours via electronic filing.
• Transparent regulation under the Companies Act 2006 and clear PSC Register rules.
• Extensive cross-border tax network — see our guide to double taxation treaties.
• International credibility for clients, suppliers, and payment providers.

What is a UK nominee director — and when should you use one?

UK companies must have at least one natural person as a director. For overseas founders, appointing a UK-based nominee director helps satisfy practical and regulatory expectations while the beneficial owner retains control through a written nominee service agreement.

How a nominee director helps

• Meets statutory director requirements for Companies House filings.
• Improves banking, KYC, and partner due-diligence outcomes.
• Acts as a UK point of contact; no day-to-day control without your authorisation.
• Works alongside a London registered office for added credibility.

Important: Nominee services cannot be used to conceal ownership. Persons with Significant Control must be recorded on the PSC Register where applicable. See: PSC guide.

Why combine UK company registration with nominee director services?

For non-UK residents and location-independent founders, adding a nominee director accelerates practical onboarding while safeguarding compliance and governance.

Business outcomes

• Credibility: A UK director and address reassure banks, marketplaces, and suppliers.
• Banking & VAT: Smoother business bank account setup and faster VAT registration readiness.
• Governance: Timely filings, stronger process control, and separation of admin from ownership.
• Scalability: Focus on sales and operations while CG manages filings and statutory notices.
