Are you in the process of becoming a ltd company?
It’s worth knowing that you can register a UK limited by shares company with just one person. This person can be a national and resident of any country (although the company’s registered office needs to be in the UK) but must be aged 16 or over.
If you are forming a company with one person they are required to fill the following roles:
- Director (the person who runs the company)
- Shareholder (the person who owns the company)
The secretary appointment is optional.
