// 5-MIN GUIDE: COMPANIES HOUSE · MEMORANDUM · HMRC REGISTRATION
Registering a limited company in York with Companies House involves choosing a unique company name, selecting the correct SIC code(s), preparing a Memorandum and Articles of Association, completing the IN01 form, providing details of all directors and shareholders, nominating a registered office address in England or Wales, and paying the £50 online Companies House registration fee. Sirus Infotech handles the entire process — most York incorporations are completed within 24 hours of submitting via the software filing route.
A private limited company (Ltd) is taxed via Corporation Tax — profits are taxed in the company, and owners pay income tax on dividends. An LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) has profits flowing through directly to members and taxed as personal income, with no corporation tax at entity level. For most York start-ups and trading businesses, an Ltd structure is preferred. For York professional services firms — solicitors, architects, accountants — an LLP often provides greater tax flexibility and professional credibility.
Your UK company must have a registered office address in England and Wales (or Scotland, or Northern Ireland) at incorporation — it does not need to be specifically in York. However, many York entrepreneurs prefer a York or North Yorkshire registered address for local credibility. Sirus Infotech can provide a UK registered office address service if needed, with all official Companies House and HMRC correspondence forwarded to you promptly regardless of your personal location.
Upon incorporation, Companies House issues a Certificate of Incorporation and unique company registration number (CRN). Your York company should then: open a business bank account, register for Corporation Tax with HMRC within 3 months of trading, register for VAT if turnover will exceed £90,000, set up a PAYE scheme if employing staff, hold the first board meeting, and consider auto-enrolment pension duties. Sirus Infotech provides a comprehensive post-incorporation checklist and can manage all initial HMRC registrations on your behalf.
Yes, absolutely. There is no UK residency requirement for incorporating a private limited company or LLP in the UK. Non-UK residents — whether in India, the EU, or elsewhere — can be directors and shareholders. However, the company must have a registered office at a physical UK address. For bank accounts, fintech providers like Tide, Starling, and Wise Business can accommodate non-resident directors. Sirus Infotech regularly incorporates UK companies for international entrepreneurs looking to establish a York or UK presence.
After incorporating your York limited company, ongoing obligations include: annual Confirmation Statement with Companies House (£34), annual statutory accounts filing (within 9 months of year-end), Corporation Tax return filing with HMRC (within 12 months, tax payable within 9 months), reporting officer changes within 14 days, maintaining a PSC register, and complying with any VAT, PAYE, or CIS obligations. Sirus Infotech offers full post-incorporation compliance management so your York company always remains in good standing.
