🌐 Registration of Overseas Companies in the UK

✅ Legally Register Your Foreign Company for Business in the United Kingdom

If your non-UK business is establishing a physical presence in the UK, such as an office or a permanent representative, you must register as an overseas company under UK Companies Act 2006. At YUDEY, we help foreign companies comply with all UK legal, tax, and operational requirements — quickly, correctly, and with confidence.

📌 What Is an Overseas Company in the UK?

An overseas company is any legal entity formed outside the UK that opens a place of business in the UK (such as an office, branch, or representative). You must register it with Companies House within 1 month of establishing the presence.

This is a legal obligation — failure to register can result in penalties and compliance issues.
