Starting a business in the UK is an exciting journey, but the paperwork, regulations, and compliance can be overwhelming. At London Professional Accountants, we've guided hundreds of founders — from solo entrepreneurs to international corporations — through every step of establishment.
We don't just file forms; we provide a complete launchpad: company structure advice, registered office services, tax registration, and introductions to banking partners. Whether you're forming a private limited company, limited liability partnership, or setting up a UK branch of an overseas entity, our team ensures a smooth, fast, and compliant setup.
With over a decade of experience, we know exactly what it takes to get your business off the ground and ready for growth. Let’s turn your vision into a legal reality.

Use our prestigious London address for your statutory mail. We scan and forward everything securely, keeping your home address private.
Company secretarial services
We maintain your statutory registers, file confirmation statements, and manage changes in directors/shareholders — always compliant.
VAT & tax registration
If your business needs to register for VAT, PAYE, or Corporation Tax, we handle all forms and advise on the best scheme (Flat Rate, Annual etc.).
Overseas entity registration
For international businesses establishing a UK presence — branch or subsidiary — we navigate the OFSI and Companies House requirements.
A smooth journey from idea to launch
Our process is simple and transparent. After a free consultation, we guide you through each decision: 1. Choose your company name and structure, 2. We prepare and file all documents, 3. You receive your incorporation kit and can open a bank account, 4. We help with any immediate registrations (VAT, PAYE) and provide ongoing compliance support.
We also assist with practical matters like drafting director's service agreements, shareholder agreements, and finding accountancy software. Think of us as your co‑pilot for the first critical months.
Bonus: All our business setup packages include a free consultation with a chartered accountant to discuss your tax strategy and financial planning.
