Euro Company Formations can assist with all aspects of registering a UK Limited Company. The company would be subject to a relatively competitive corporate tax rate of 20% (Northern Ireland may vary). While not providing one of the lowest rates in Europe, the relative low setup and running costs present the UK Limited Company as a strong option.
