Establishing or expanding a business in the United Kingdom requires more than a strong commercial vision—it demands a clear understanding of the UK’s corporate legal environment. From company formation and regulatory compliance to commercial contracts and cross-border structuring, access to high-quality corporate legal services is essential for international success.
At Fraser Bond, we support overseas companies, investors, and entrepreneurs with an integrated advisory model that includes corporate legal coordination. Through our partnerships with regulated UK law firms, we ensure your business is legally sound, contractually protected, and structured for long-term growth.
Businesses must comply with the Companies Act 2006, as well as a wide range of sector-specific regulations. This includes:
Registering with Companies House
Drafting Articles of Association
Maintaining statutory registers
Filing annual accounts and confirmation statements
Failing to meet these legal duties can result in penalties, legal exposure, or dissolution of the business.
Choosing the right legal entity is the foundation of your UK operation. Options include:
Private Limited Company (Ltd)
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
UK branch of a foreign company
Holding or Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for property investment
