Company Formation in United Kingdom
Europe
Overview
The United Kingdom, particularly London, is a highly prestigious and globally respected jurisdiction for company formation, known for its political stability, robust legal framework, and position as a leading financial hub. While not a traditional offshore zone, it offers a competitive and flexible corporate tax regime with potential for significant tax preferences. The UK is highly attractive for international businesses due to its high investment appeal, stable banking sector, and strong protection for shareholder rights, with liability limited to the capital contribution.
