How to create a UK Branch Application

branch app

Price: from £526.00

To set up a UK branch, it is first necessary to register your branch with Companies House, the UK registrar of companies.

Any overseas company that creates a UK branch is required to give that branch a name, which may be the original company name or an alternative title under which it is planning to trade in the UK.

The supporting documents required by Companies House will include a certified copy of your company’s constitutional paperwork along with a translation into English – although this may depend on the particular disclosure requirements of your company. If the company is required to disclose the Accounts within its own country, Companies House will also require a copy of your latest accounts and an auditor’s report.

Any documentation provided to support the application must be a certified copy or stamped with the following words and ‘This is a true copy of the original document.’ The documents must be certified by the Director, Secretary or Authorised Representative.

Once the registration has been complete, your company will have ongoing obligations to file and disclose certain information to Companies House. You will be required to maintain a Registered Office address for your UK Branch and maintain the relevant statutory registers throughout the financial year, informing Companies House of any changes to your UK branch as they occur.
