Services of Semper Paratus Legal House LLP
Registering Ltd Companies in the United Kingdom
Ltd company registration is carried out entirely online, meaning that setting up a business in England does not require travelling to the United Kingdom or attending any office in person. The average waiting time for the company to appear in the register is 10 days. (this timeframe includes all formalities). Once the company appears in Companies House, which is the UK equivalent of the Polish KRS (National Court Register), it is entered in the national Index of Company Names and receives its own unique number (the Company Number). Once registered, you will be able to issue invoices under the company name and begin developing your own business in the UK!
An Ltd company does not require share capital. It can be incorporated with as little as 100 shares at a value of £1 each.
The company director may also be the sole shareholder, meaning an Ltd company can be formed with a single-person board of directors.
Accountancy for Ltd Companies
Rozliczanie spółek Ltd wymaga od księgowego znajomości brytyjskich regulacji podatkowych, a także umiejętności ścisłego przestrzegania terminów i zasad. Nasi brytyjscy księgowi zagwarantują pełną zgodność rozliczeń z brytyjskimi przepisami.
Dyrektor spółki LTD ma obowiązek na koniec roku obrachunkowego zatwierdzić własnym podpisem roczny bilans spółki tzw. – Annual Accounts. Składa się na niego kilka różnych dokumentów. Wśród nich zatwierdzany jest również
Annual Report oraz Confirmation Statement, czyli składanej raz w roku deklaracji dotyczącej struktury firmy. Dodatkowo do dokumentacji może być dołączony Audited Accounts, czyli raport audytora.
Nad przygotowaniem całości dokumentacji do zatwierdzenia przez dyrektora zajmują się nasi księgowi.
Payroll for Ltd Company Employees
We offer payroll services for employees of Ltd companies. HR and payroll services are carried out in accordance with UK employment law and tax law, and are tailored to the size of the business entity and the client’s individual circumstances.
Payroll services can only commence once the payroll scheme has been set up. The accountants at Semper Paratus Legal House LLP register the entity as an employer at the client’s request. The company then receives reference numbers under the PAYE system. This is the system used by the tax authority (HMRC) to collect Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NIC) directly from each employee’s pay. The details pertaining to each employee are agreed on an individual basis.
British Accountancy Advisory Services
Changes in legislation are fairly frequent and can be complex. Keeping up with them can be a burden for a company that would rather focus on growth than on researching and verifying information independently.
When a professional UK-qualified accountant manages the company’s finances, the board does not need to worry about regulatory changes — all the necessary information will be provided by the adviser.
With an accountancy adviser, the board of an Ltd company can count on support at every stage of the business — right from the moment of incorporation. An accountancy adviser will help you choose the most advantageous tax structure. Their assistance can be invaluable in this regard. In any situation, however unusual, you can consult a specialist — an experienced and reliable professional will certainly help your Ltd company find the best solution.
Registering Sp. z o.o. Companies in Poland
A limited liability company (spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) is the optimal business structure for entrepreneurs who prioritise business growth, transaction security, and low operating costs. With the right company agreement in place, ZUS (Social Insurance Institution) contributions can be eliminated entirely, providing excellent financial optimisation.
A sp. z o.o. can be incorporated electronically or by traditional means. The choice of incorporation method is always left to the shareholders, who decide which of the above options they prefer.
Restructuring of Sp. z o.o. Companies in Poland
Każda restrukturyzacja przybiera postać specjalnego postępowania naprawczego.
Możemy prowadzić różnego rodzaju postępowania: o zatwierdzenie układu; przyspieszonego postępowania układowego; postępowania układowego czy postępowania sanacyjnego – służącego przede wszystkim oddłużeniu, pozwalającemu na uniknięcie ogłoszenia upadłości dłużnika. Dzięki temu restrukturyzowany dłużnik może nadal prowadzić swoje przedsiębiorstwo, co zresztą jest korzystnym rozwiązaniem także dla wierzycieli – wówczas mają oni większe szanse na zaspokojenie swoich należności w wyższym stopniu. Zawsze interesy dłużnika i jego wierzycieli są odpowiednio zbalansowane. .

I have been with Semper Paratus Legal House LLP since 2018. As a result, I pay a subscription that requires no attention to deadlines. My accountant proactively keeps me informed and stress-free about the state of my finances. I really do appreciate that.
Highly recommended — the accountancy subscription at Semper Paratus Legal House LLP. I gained access to the accounting platform, through which I can obtain invoices in multiple currencies for clients around the world. My accountant continuously monitors the documents I submit, ensuring their accuracy.
When it comes to protecting your business — take out a subscription, you will save money and gain access to many other services that cost more when purchased individually.
