Company formation in a foreign jurisdiction brings a lot of questions. In particular, clients are uncertain on how they will manage their registered company if they reside in one country, while their company is incorporated in a foreign jurisdiction. Every company is required to pay annual maintenance fees, pay taxes, keep accounting, otherwise it can be penalized and dissolved. How to keep track on important filing dates? How to comply with legal requirements of another country?

In reality it is not that hard to maintain a UK company. It is true that a UK company should keep annual accounting and prepare annual reports; it should pay annual maintenance fees along with other requirements that depend on a particular situation.

It is possible to learn and manage the company by yourself, or hire professionals that will save your time and money. Ecompany.ltd is one of the companies that provides full support for successful company maintenance in the UK.

How will I manage accounting and bookkeeping in the UK?

What is a nominee director? Do I need to use nominal services?

Appointing a nominee director is only an option and is not a strict requirement in the UK.
