Bearer Shares Company Formation. Bearer Shares Basics

. Bearer shares are legal instruments denoting company ownership. They are not the same as stock certificates, however. Usually, the legal shareholders of a limited company are those persons whose names appear on the corporation's official shareholders list, or register. These shareholders may or may not be issued a tangible stock certificate which they may possess. A common stock certificate will bear the name of the shareholder, and how many shares of stock the certificate represents. It will contain other information such as the name of the company, any par value the shares have, and most importantly, whether there are restrictions on the transfer of the shares. In addition to incorporating an ordinary company limited by shares we can provide formation & management of companies with bearer shares! Bearer shares can be converted into registered shares and vice versa.

The formation of limited companies within 4-8 hours if ordered before 11:00 and Companies House permitting* (Companies House then aim to respond to electronically filed documents within 4-8 working hours. Although this is not always possible, it does generally mean that if you placed an order before midday on a normal working day we can have your company registered by the end of that same day.

For our overseas clients we are also able to obtain Certificates of Good Standing and Apostille at competitive prices. All proposed names are checked at Companies House to ensure availability, suitability of the name, and the acceptance of the use of sensitive words such as "International", "Holding", "Group" and others. If your chosen company name is rejected by Companies House for any reason, don't worry as our services is completely free for you to amend your application and resubmit.

There are a number of advantages to company registration the most obvious being "Limited Liability". Unlike a partnership or Sole Trader if a limited company should be unsuccessful the company would be wound up and only company property/assets can be claimed by creditors. Directors and Shareholders have no personal liability whatever (unless they have acted improperly) and there are no restrictions on the directors pursuing further company incorporations.

A company incorporated in the United Kingdom has the same powers as a natural person. It is easy to form a limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom (UK). There are almost no restrictions, provided that there are no existing UK companies with identical names.

A company requires at least one director, one secretary and one shareholder, a UK-registered office. However, none of the directors nor shareholders are required to be UK residents. Our Firm will provide the services of UK-registered office and a address in England, Scotland and Wales.

Opening a Bank Account Opening a Bank Account: 
All banks in UK are, under the UK law, not to disclose any customer's information to anyone without the customer's prior consent, except if the customer is suspected of laundering money laundry or any criminal offence or if the UK Inland Revenue Department suspects that he/she has evaded UK taxes (not taxes in any other countries). Further the UK Inland Revenue Department is not allowed by the UK law to disclose any information to anyone, including local or overseas governments.


General Advantages of UK Private Limited Companies:

1. Liability is, in the vast majority of cases, strictly limited to the investments made by the shareholders.
2. Company Officers are not personally liable for their actions unless there is a clear and serious breach of their fiduciary duty.
3. Limited companies often benefit from greater prestige than their sole proprietorship or partnership counterparts. The reason is because such an enterprise normally requires more planning and thus is deemed more credible.
4. Limited companies often benefit from significant tax advantages. In fact, many countries around the world give exclusive tax incentives to this type of entity.
5. The rights of shareholders are normally clearly defined and protected.
6. Corporate taxes only become payable after the end of the financial year. This means money that would otherwise be taxed on a monthly or quarterly basis, is available to earn further interest before the final payment of tax.
7. You need only appoint one Director and one Shareholder.
8. Directors can be corporate bodies or private individuals.
9. A Director can be of any nationality.
10. All companies must appoint a company Secretary who can be of any nationality.


For the opening of bank accounts, in England would require all the directors (shareholders are not required) to be present in London or go to their branch/subsidiary in a client's country or a nearby country, so that they can witness the directors' signatures and verify their passport copies. We may prepare bank accounts opening forms and provide certified true copies of the relevant documents. Some banks may require a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the UK Companies House for opening bank accounts.

With years of professional experience we have built an excellent reputation for limited company establishment. The registration of a private company in the UK is easy and straightforward. No permission is required to establish a business presence, although there is some regulation of the use of business and trading names. All companies registering in the United Kingdom are required to do so with Companies House and have to submit accounts as well as annual returns.

Overseas companies establishing a branch or place of business in the United Kingdom must register and file annual accounts. Companies operating in the financial, defence, oil exploration and other regulated areas may require licences or authorisation to conduct business. Before you apply to set-up a company, or do anything to change its name, it is a good idea to search the index at Companies House to see if there are already any companies with names similar to the one you want. If in doubt, call Companies House or search the website company name index.

If you are selling goods or services, you need to consider registering a company or limited liability partnership for your business activities. What is a limited company? What paper work is required to form an LTD? Do I need an attorney to form a company? Simply call us by phone, by fax or via the Internet and register your business online! We provide a full range of products and services to make your business incorporation process as simple as possible.

We also provide services for your needs after companies' incorporation, including our registered address service and of annual return filings.
