| Legal Requirements to Register an LTD | | |
A private company limited by shares in England and Wales must have at least one director, one shareholder, and may have a secretary.
You need at least one person to form this type of company. If there is only one director, and that director is a natural person in your company, that director can also act as the secretary.
A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. This requirement is met if the office of director is held by a natural person as a corporation sole or otherwise by virtue of an office.
You can register a sole director' company, if you are familiar with the secretaries duties and responsibilities, because all of them belongs to a sole director.
The directors and secretary of your company can also be shareholders.
The Companies Act imposes no restriction on the minimum age of company directors. However Companies House will actively discourage the appointment of anyone under the age of 16 from taking up a company directorship on the grounds that the individuals concerned may not fully understand the legal liabilities that go with the position and for the most part will not have the experience necessary to perform the duties of a company director.
Under the Companies Act 2006, there is no restriction on any or all of the members/shareholders being from an overseas country (i.e. outside the United Kingdom in terms of residency, domicile, citizenship, place of incorporation or all or any of those concepts).
There is no requirement for the officers of your company to be UK citizens or residents, nor for them to hold valid work permits.
Owning, or being an officer of a UK company does not, however, grant you any right to live or work in the UK if you are a foreign national.
Your company must have a registered office address within England or Wales; this is the official address of your company and will be on the public record as such.
Your company must hold its official company documents at its registered office address: its register of shareholders, and its constitutional documents.
So long as you maintain a registered office address in England or Wales, you can conduct your business from any place in the world: you do not have to run your business from your registered office address.

| Finance Act 2005 | | 2005 Chapter 7 - continued | | PART 2, INCOME TAX, CORPORATION TAX AND CAPITAL GAINS TAX - continued |
| | back to previous text |  | | | | CHAPTER 3 | | | EMPLOYMENT-RELATED SECURITIES | | 20 | Research institution spin-out companies
| | | (1) In Part 7 of ITEPA 2003 (employment income: income and exemptions relating to securities), after Chapter 4 insert-
| | |  | "CHAPTER 4A | | | SHARES IN RESEARCH INSTITUTION SPIN-OUT COMPANIES | | |
Introduction | | 451 | Application of this Chapter
| | | (1) This Chapter applies where-
| | | (a) an agreement is made for one or more transfers of intellectual property (an "intellectual property agreement") from one or more research institutions to a company (a "spin-out company"), | | | (b) a person acquires shares (or an interest in shares) in the spin-out company before the intellectual property agreement is made or within the period of 183 days beginning with the date on which it is made, | | | (c) the right or opportunity to acquire the shares (or interest in shares) was available by reason of employment by the research institution (or any of them) or by the spin-out company, and | | | (d) the person is involved in research in relation to any of the intellectual property that is the subject of the intellectual property agreement. | | | (2) But this Chapter does not apply if the avoidance of tax or national insurance is the main purpose (or one of the main purposes) of the arrangements under which the right or opportunity to acquire the shares (or interest in shares) is made available.
| | |
Tax relief on acquisition | | 452 | Market value on acquisition
| | | (1) For the relevant tax purposes the market value of the shares (or interest in shares) at the time of the acquisition is to be calculated disregarding the effect on that market value of the intellectual property agreement and any transfer of intellectual property pursuant to it.
| | | (2) For the purposes of subsection (1) "the relevant tax purposes" are-
| | | (a) determining any amount that is to constitute earnings from the employment under Chapter 1 of Part 3 (earnings), | | | (b) determining the amount of any gain realised on the occurrence of an event that is a chargeable event by virtue of section 439(3)(a) (conversion), | | | (c) operating Chapter 3C of this Part (acquisition of securities for less than market value), and | | | (d) determining any amount that counts as employment income of the employee under Chapter 5 of this Part (securities acquired pursuant to securities option). | | |
Tax relief following acquisition | | 453 | Taxable amount under Chapter 4
| | | (1) If the shares are (or interest in shares is) acquired before the intellectual property agreement is made, or before any transfer of intellectual property pursuant to it, and any benefit deriving from the intellectual property agreement or any such transfer is received by the employee in connection with the shares (or interest in shares), the taxable amount determined under section 448 (post-acquisition benefits from securities: amount of charge) is to be treated as nil.
| | | (2) But this section does not apply if something which affects the shares (or interest in shares) has been done (at or before the time when the intellectual property agreement is made or intellectual property is transferred) as part of a scheme or arrangement the main purpose (or one of the main purposes) of which is the avoidance of tax or national insurance contributions.
| | |
Disapplication of Chapters 2 and 3B | | 454 | Deemed election for disapplication of Chapter 2
| | | (1) If the shares are restricted securities (or the interest in shares is a restricted interest in securities), the employer and the employee are to be treated as making an election under section 431(1) (election for disapplication of Chapter 2) in relation to the shares (or interest in shares).
| | | (2) But the employer and the employee may agree that subsection (1) is not to apply in relation to the shares (or interest in shares).
| | | (3) An agreement under subsection (2) is irrevocable and-
| | | (a) must be made in a form approved by the Board of the Inland Revenue, and | | | (b) may not be made more than 14 days after the acquisition. | | | (4) If the employer and the employee make an agreement under subsection (2) in relation to the shares (or interest in shares), subsection (5) applies for the purposes of determining the taxable amount for the purposes of section 426 (charge on occurrence of chargeable event) on the occurrence on any chargeable event in relation to the shares (or interest in shares).
| | | (5) In determining under section 428(3) (amount of charge) what would have been the market value of the shares (or interest in shares) at the time of the acquisition but for any restrictions (IUMV), that market value is to be calculated disregarding the effect on that market value of the intellectual property agreement and any transfer of intellectual property pursuant to it.
| | 455 | Disapplication of Chapter 3B
| | | For the purposes of Chapter 3B (securities with artificially enhanced market value) neither the intellectual property agreement nor any transfer of intellectual property pursuant to it are things done otherwise than for genuine commercial purposes.
| | |
