US company · UK expansion

Bringing a US company into the UK? We build the UK side.

You're a US business expanding into the UK — a subsidiary, a first UK hire, or UK customers. The UK brings its own entity, tax, VAT and payroll rules, and they have to sit cleanly under your US parent.

Your US CPA doesn't file at Companies House

UK company law, HMRC corporation tax, VAT registration, PAYE payroll and pension auto-enrolment are a different world from the US return — and how the UK entity consolidates back to the parent is its own question. Get the entity choice or VAT timing wrong early and it's expensive to unwind.

What we handle

Both sides, under one roof

UK entity setup & Companies House registration
UK corporation tax filings
VAT registration & returns
PAYE payroll & pension auto-enrolment
Transfer pricing between parent and UK subsidiary
Statutory accounts, consolidated back to the parent
How it works

Three steps, one team

Structure

We pick the right UK entity and set up how it sits under your US parent, before anything's registered.

Register & set up

Companies House, HMRC, VAT and payroll registrations handled together, in the right order.

Run & comply

Ongoing UK filings, payroll and accounts — one team, fixed fee, aligned with the US side.

Common questions

The things founders ask first

Do we need a UK subsidiary, or can we just trade directly?

It depends on how you'll sell, hire and hold risk. We map both routes and their tax and liability consequences before you commit — there's rarely one right answer.

When do we have to register for UK VAT?

Sooner than many expect, and sometimes before any threshold if you're established or storing goods here. We check your position up front so you don't register late.

Who runs the UK payroll?

We do — PAYE, pension auto-enrolment and filings — so your first UK hire is compliant from their first payslip.

Let's map both sides of your business.

A free consultation, no obligation. Tell us how the company is structured and we'll map what each side needs — with a fixed price before any work begins.
