Will UK banks accept a shelf company?

Yes. Aged companies are often viewed more favourably by UK banks like Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, and NatWest due to their established incorporation history.

Do overseas businesses need UK VAT registration?

If your business supplies goods or services to the UK or stores goods in UK warehouses, you may need UK VAT registration. A VAT registered shelf company bypasses lengthy applications.

How long does the transfer process take?

Our transfer process typically takes 3-5 business days. In urgent cases, we can expedite to 24-48 hours.

Is buying a shelf company better than forming new?

Buying is better when you need instant VAT registration, established credibility, faster bank approval, immediate trading, or an EORI number.

What happens to previous directors?

Previous nominee directors are formally resigned and removed. Your details are registered as the new director and shareholder at Companies House.

Can I operate from outside the UK?

Yes. You can manage a UK company from anywhere worldwide. We provide a UK registered office address as part of our service.

The Complete Guide to Buying a UK Shelf Company in 2025

What is a UK Shelf Company?

A UK shelf company — also called a ready-made company, off-the-shelf company, or dormant company — is a UK Limited company registered at Companies House that has never traded. It carries a completely clean corporate history: no debts, no liabilities, no outstanding tax obligations, and no county court judgements (CCJs). Shelf companies are held by specialist providers until purchased and transferred to a new owner, who can begin trading immediately.

Why Buy Instead of Forming a New Company?

A new UK Limited company only costs £12 via Companies House and forms in 24 hours — but it has no VAT number. Applying to HMRC for VAT registration typically takes 4 to 12 weeks and frequently results in rejections for non-UK resident applicants. Our VAT registered shelf companies arrive with an active HMRC VAT number and EORI number already in place — no waiting, no rejections, ready to trade in 3–5 days.

Who Buys UK Shelf Companies?

Amazon FBA Sellers — Amazon UK mandates UK VAT registration for FBA sellers. Our companies include an instant VAT number and EORI for customs clearance.
International Importers — Businesses importing goods into the UK need a VAT number (postponed VAT accounting) and EORI (customs declarations). Both are included.
eCommerce Businesses — Shopify, eBay, Etsy, Zalando, TikTok Shop and UK marketplace sellers needing VAT-compliant UK entities from day one.
Payment Gateway Users — Stripe UK, PayPal Business, and Wise Business all require a registered UK company number — which our shelf companies provide.
Non-UK Entrepreneurs — Clients from Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Pakistan, China, Nigeria, Germany, Poland, USA and 35+ more countries wanting a UK presence without the HMRC wait.
Professional Services Firms — IT consultants, marketing agencies, recruiters, and contractors needing an established UK entity immediately.

Our Packages at a Glance

Standard Dormant — from £499: Clean UK Ltd, zero VAT, full Companies House transfer, registered office 12 months, all documents.

VAT Registered — from £1,299: Clean UK Ltd + active HMRC VAT number + active EORI number. Most popular. Transfer in 3–5 days.

VAT + Bank Account — from £2,499: Everything above plus an established UK business bank account (Mettle or Starling) already in the company name — transferred to you with zero account-opening hassle.

Can Non-UK Residents Buy?

Yes — with zero restrictions. UK law allows any nationality to own and direct a UK Limited company. We serve 43+ countries. The entire process is remote; no UK visit required. You need only a valid passport and proof of address for KYC verification.

How to Verify Before You Buy

We share the Companies House number for free independent verification at find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk and the VAT number for verification via the HMRC "Check a UK VAT number" portal — before any payment is made. Full transparency is our standard.

The Transfer Process

1. Enquire — WhatsApp or email us with your requirements. Response within hours.
2. Verify — Receive company details and VAT number for independent verification. No payment yet.
3. KYC — Submit passport and proof of address. All online.

Google People Also Ask — UK Shelf Companies

What is a UK shelf company?: A UK shelf company is a pre-registered UK Limited company that has never traded. It has a clean Companies House record, zero debts, zero CCJs, zero liabilities, and is ready for immediate ownership transfer. Also called a ready-made company, dormant company, off-the-shelf company, or aged company.
Is it legal to buy a shelf company in the UK?: Yes, completely legal. Buying a shelf company uses the standard UK Companies House ownership transfer process — changing the director and shareholder details. All our companies are fully compliant with UK company law and HMRC regulations.
How much does a UK VAT registered shelf company cost?: A UK VAT registered shelf company costs from £1,299 including the full ownership transfer, Companies House filing, active VAT certificate, and active EORI number. A basic dormant shelf company starts from £499. A premium package with a business bank account starts from £2,499.
How long does the transfer take?: Our average transfer completes in 3 to 5 business days. This includes Companies House filing to update director and shareholder details, and providing all corporate documentation including certificate of incorporation, share certificates, and VAT certificate.
Can a non-UK resident buy a UK shelf company?: Yes. There is no requirement to be a UK resident or citizen to own or direct a UK Limited company. We successfully transfer companies to clients in over 43 countries including Turkey, UAE, Germany, USA, Canada, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Nigeria, South Africa, Poland, and many more.
Does the VAT number stay with the company after transfer?: Yes. The HMRC VAT number is registered to the company, not the previous individual director, so it remains fully active and valid after ownership transfer. You can verify the VAT number on the UK Government official VIES checker before completing your purchase.
Can I buy a UK company for Amazon FBA?: Yes. Our VAT registered UK shelf companies are perfect for Amazon FBA sellers. Amazon requires sellers with UK-stored inventory to be VAT registered. Our companies include an active VAT number and EORI number — everything needed for your Amazon Seller Central account.
Do you offer a money-back guarantee on shelf companies?: Yes. If we cannot complete the transfer within the agreed timeframe for reasons attributable to us, you receive a 100% refund. We also provide full due diligence documentation before payment, including Companies House records confirming zero trading history.
What documents come with a shelf company?: Every transfer includes: Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, Share Certificate, Statutory Register, Companies House confirmation of director change, VAT Registration Certificate, EORI Number confirmation, and Registered Office confirmation.
Can I change the company name after buying it?: Yes. You can change the company name via Companies House after the transfer. We can handle the name change for an additional fee. The company number, VAT number, and EORI number all remain the same after a name change.
What is an EORI number and why is it important?: An EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number is required for all UK businesses importing or exporting goods. It is used in customs declarations. Our VAT registered shelf companies include an active EORI number ready for immediate use with UK Border Force and HMRC.
What is the difference between a dormant company and a shelf company?: All shelf companies we sell are also dormant companies — meaning they have had no significant accounting transactions. The terms are often used interchangeably. A dormant company is the HMRC and Companies House classification; shelf company is the market term for a dormant company ready to be sold and immediately used.
How do I verify a UK company's VAT number before buying?: You can verify any UK VAT number for free on the HMRC VIES portal at tax.service.gov.uk/check-vat-number. Simply enter the VAT number and it will confirm whether the registration is active and valid. We encourage all buyers to verify before completing a purchase. All our VAT numbers pass this check.
What is the difference between buying a shelf company and forming a new company?: Forming a new UK Limited company takes 24-48 hours for the Companies House registration, but then you must wait 4-12 weeks for HMRC to process VAT registration (sometimes longer with delays or rejections). Buying a shelf company gives you an already-registered company with an active VAT number immediately — bypassing the HMRC wait entirely.
Can I use a UK shelf company for Stripe or PayPal Business?: Yes. Both Stripe and PayPal Business require a registered UK company and a valid UK business bank account. Our shelf companies come with a Companies House registration number and our premium package includes a UK business bank account — giving you everything needed to set up Stripe or PayPal Business accounts immediately.
Will the shelf company have any history that could cause problems?: No. Every shelf company we sell is fully dormant with zero trading history. It has never filed a VAT return, never had employees, never had invoices, never had a business bank account that has been used for trading. We provide the full Companies House filing history and HMRC confirmation before payment.
Can I buy a UK shelf company if I am from Turkey, UAE, or another non-EU country?: Yes, absolutely. UK law places no nationality or residency restrictions on who can own or direct a UK Limited company. We regularly serve clients from Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, India, China, Nigeria, USA, Canada and many others. You simply need valid ID documents for the KYC process.
What SIC code will the shelf company have?: Most of our shelf companies are registered under SIC code 74900 (Other professional, scientific and technical activities) or 46900 (Non-specialised wholesale trade). After transfer, you can update the SIC code to match your specific business activity via Companies House free of charge.
Is the registered office address in London?: We provide a UK registered office address service for 12 months included with every transfer. The address is a professional London or major UK city address suitable for all official Companies House and HMRC correspondence. After 12 months, the service can be renewed or you can change to your own address.
Do I need a UK accountant after buying a shelf company?: You will need to file annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House, and submit VAT returns to HMRC quarterly. We strongly recommend engaging a UK accountant familiar with dormant and newly active companies. We can recommend trusted UK accounting firms as part of our aftercare service.
What happens after I enquire? What is the process?: After you send an enquiry via email or WhatsApp, we respond within a few hours with available stock matching your requirements. We then send a detailed proposal including company details, VAT number for verification, Companies House records, and pricing. After agreement, we conduct KYC verification and then initiate the Companies House transfer — typically completed in 3-5 business days.
Can I buy multiple UK shelf companies?: Yes. We have successfully sold multiple companies to the same client for different ventures. Bulk pricing may be available for clients purchasing two or more companies. Please enquire via WhatsApp or email to discuss your specific requirements.

How to Buy a UK VAT Registered Shelf Company in 2025

Buying a UK VAT registered shelf company in 2025 is the fastest way to start trading in the United Kingdom without waiting months for HMRC to process a new VAT registration. A VAT registered shelf company, also known as a ready-made company or off-the-shelf company, is a pre-registered UK Limited company that has never traded and comes with an active HMRC VAT number already attached. The process of acquiring a UK shelf company involves selecting a company from a specialist provider, completing KYC identity verification, signing the ownership transfer documentation, and receiving the Companies House confirmation within 3 to 5 business days. The new owner receives a complete documentation pack including the Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, Share Certificate, VAT Registration Certificate, and EORI Number. The cost of a UK VAT registered shelf company ranges from £1,299 to £2,499 depending on the age of the company and whether a business bank account is included. Non-UK residents and foreign nationals can freely purchase UK shelf companies with no restrictions. Popular use cases include Amazon FBA, import and export businesses, Stripe payment processing, eBay selling, Shopify stores, and professional services firms.

Shelf Company UK vs New Company Formation — Which is Better?

When starting a business in the United Kingdom, entrepreneurs face a choice between forming a brand new UK Limited company or purchasing a ready-made shelf company. Forming a new UK company costs as little as £12 via Companies House online but then requires a separate VAT registration with HMRC which can take 4 to 12 weeks and is sometimes rejected for non-UK resident applicants or new businesses without trading history. In contrast, buying a UK shelf company from a specialist provider like VatReadyCompany gives you an established UK Limited company with an active HMRC VAT number immediately. The shelf company already has a Companies House registration number, an active VAT number, an EORI number for import and export, and in premium packages a UK business bank account. The company transfer is completed in just 3 to 5 business days. For businesses that need to start trading immediately, accept UK marketplace orders, use payment processors like Stripe or PayPal Business, or import goods into the UK, a shelf company is the clearly superior option. The main advantage of a new company formation is cost — it is cheaper. But the waiting time and VAT registration uncertainty make shelf companies the preferred choice for serious entrepreneurs.

UK Shelf Company for Amazon FBA Sellers — Complete Guide 2025

Amazon FBA sellers who store inventory in Amazon UK fulfilment centres are required to be UK VAT registered. Without a valid UK VAT number, Amazon will deregister listings and freeze disbursements. The fastest solution for international Amazon FBA sellers is to purchase a UK VAT registered shelf company. This gives you an established UK Limited company with an active HMRC VAT number, an EORI number for customs clearance when importing stock into the UK, and a UK Companies House registration number for your Amazon Seller account.

UK Ready Made Company with Business Bank Account — What You Need to Know

One of the biggest challenges for non-UK residents buying a UK shelf company is opening a UK business bank account. Traditional high street banks like Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, and NatWest typically require the director to attend a branch in person for verification, making it practically impossible for overseas clients. Challenger banks like Mettle (owned by NatWest), Starling Bank, Tide, and Cashplus offer digital-first business accounts that are more accessible. At VatReadyCompany.co.uk, our Premium VAT plus Bank Account package includes a UK shelf company that already has an established business bank account — most commonly with Mettle or Starling Bank. The bank account comes transferred with the company and already has the company registered as the account holder. This eliminates the need to apply for a new business account altogether. The Premium package starts from £2,499 and includes the active VAT number, EORI number, Companies House transfer, registered office address for 12 months, and the established business bank account. This is our most popular package for international e-commerce sellers who need a complete UK trading entity immediately.

Non-UK Resident Buying a UK Company — Everything You Need to Know

Foreign nationals and non-UK residents can fully legally own and direct a UK Limited company. There is no requirement to be a UK citizen or resident to become a director or shareholder of a UK company. At VatReadyCompany.co.uk we have served clients from over 43 countries including Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, Austria and many others. The process for non-UK residents buying a UK shelf company is simple. You choose a company from our available stock, we conduct KYC identity verification using your passport and a proof of address document such as a utility bill or bank statement, you sign the transfer documents electronically, and we complete the Companies House transfer within 3 to 5 business days. You do not need to travel to the UK or visit any office in person. All documentation is handled remotely. The only additional consideration for non-UK residents is that they will need a UK registered office address for all official correspondence — which we provide as part of every package for 12 months.

UK EORI Number Explained — Why Ready Made Companies Are the Fastest Option

An EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) is a unique reference number assigned to businesses that import or export goods into or out of the United Kingdom. Since Brexit, all UK businesses trading internationally require an EORI number for customs declarations submitted to UK Border Force and HMRC. Applying for a new EORI number after registering a new UK company takes 3 to 5 business days on average, but requires the company to already be VAT registered or to have a VAT registration in progress. This creates a delay stack — first waiting for company registration (24-48 hours), then VAT registration (4-12 weeks), then EORI number (3-5 days). In total, a brand new UK company could take 3 months or more before it has both a VAT number and an EORI number ready for import operations. By purchasing a UK VAT registered shelf company from VatReadyCompany.co.uk, you receive a company that already has both an active VAT number AND an active EORI number. The entire stack is already done. You can begin customs clearance operations immediately after completing the ownership transfer — which takes just 3 to 5 business days. This is why import businesses, Amazon FBA sellers, dropshippers sourcing from China, and wholesale importers consistently choose our shelf companies over new company formation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about readymade companies, VAT, and our process.

What is a ready-made shelf company in the UK?

A ready-made shelf company (also known as an off-the-shelf company or pre-formed company) is a UK Limited company that has been legally incorporated and registered with Companies House but has never traded or conducted any business. These dormant companies are "aged" over time and then sold to buyers who want to start trading immediately with an established company number and incorporation date.

Are readymade companies completely legal in the UK?

Yes, absolutely. Ready-made shelf companies are officially registered with Companies House and maintained in full compliance and good standing until transferred to a new owner. Buying and selling shelf companies is a perfectly legal, widely used, and well-established business practice in the United Kingdom.

Have these shelf companies ever traded before?

No. All of our shelf companies are guaranteed dormant and non-trading. They have completely clean histories with zero liabilities, no debts, no outstanding obligations, and no previous trading activities. You receive a clean, blank-slate company.

Can I change the company name after buying a readymade company?

Yes! We can process a name change with Companies House simultaneously with the ownership transfer. This means you get the benefit of an aged company history and established incorporation date, but with your own preferred business name. The name change typically takes 5-7 working days to be officially recorded.

Will UK banks accept a readymade or shelf company?

Yes. In fact, aged companies are often viewed more favourably by UK financial institutions such as Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, NatWest, and Santander due to their established incorporation history. This can make it significantly easier to open business bank accounts, obtain credit facilities, and establish merchant services.

Why should I buy a VAT registered company instead of registering for VAT myself?

Registering a new company for VAT with HMRC can take anywhere from 4 weeks to several months, with increasing scrutiny and rejection rates. Buying a pre-registered VAT company gives you an active VAT number immediately, allowing you to start importing, exporting, and trading right away without any delays. This is especially valuable for international traders who need to comply with UK VAT regulations quickly.

Do overseas businesses need to register for VAT in the UK?

If your business supplies goods or services to the UK, stores goods in UK warehouses, or sells to UK consumers via online marketplaces, you may be required to register for UK VAT. Buying a VAT registered shelf company bypasses the lengthy and often difficult application process, saving you months of waiting time.

Can a non-UK resident be a director of a UK company?

Yes, there is no requirement for directors or shareholders of a UK limited company to be UK residents. Non-UK residents from any country can own and direct a UK company. However, the company must have a registered office address in the UK, which we can provide as part of our service.

What is an EORI number and why is it important?

An EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number is essential for any business involved in importing or exporting goods to or from the UK. It is used by customs authorities to track and monitor shipments. Our VAT registered shelf companies come with active EORI numbers, meaning you can start international trade immediately without waiting for a separate EORI application.

How long does the company transfer process take?

Our streamlined transfer process typically takes 3-5 business days from start to finish. This includes KYC verification, Companies House filings for director and shareholder changes, and the complete handover of all company documents. In urgent cases, we can expedite the process to complete within 24-48 hours.

What documents will I receive after the transfer?

You will receive the Certificate of Incorporation, updated Companies House confirmation showing your details, VAT registration certificate, EORI confirmation letter, bank account access credentials (if applicable), share certificates, memorandum and articles of association, and all relevant corporate documents needed to operate the company.

What is the difference between a shelf company and an aged company?

A shelf company is any pre-incorporated company that has never traded, regardless of its age. An aged company (also called a vintage company) specifically refers to a shelf company that has been on the register for a significant period — typically 6 months to several years. Aged companies carry additional credibility benefits as they appear more established to banks, clients, and suppliers.

Can I use a ready-made company for Amazon FBA or eBay selling?

Absolutely. Many of our clients purchase VAT registered shelf companies specifically for selling on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and other online marketplaces. Having an established UK company with an active VAT number is essential for marketplace selling, particularly for Amazon FBA where VAT registration is mandatory for UK-based inventory.

What are the ongoing compliance requirements after buying a shelf company?

After purchasing, you must file annual confirmation statements with Companies House, prepare and submit annual accounts, file corporation tax returns with HMRC, and if VAT registered, submit quarterly VAT returns. We offer ongoing compliance support services to handle all of these obligations for you.

Can I choose my own SIC code for the company?

Yes, SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) codes can be updated during or after the transfer process. Whether you need codes for wholesale trade (46900), retail (47910), IT consulting (62020), import/export, or any other industry, we can update the company's registered SIC codes to match your intended business activities.

Is it better to buy a shelf company or form a new one?

It depends on your needs. A new company formation is ideal if you don't need VAT or an established history. However, buying a shelf company is the better option when you need instant VAT registration, an established company to build trust with clients and suppliers, faster bank account approval, immediate trading capability, or an EORI number for import/export activities.

How do I know the company has a clean history?

Every company we sell undergoes a thorough due diligence process. We provide full Companies House records showing the company has been dormant since incorporation, has no outstanding charges or mortgages, no previous trading activity, no county court judgments, and no outstanding tax liabilities. All records are publicly verifiable on the Companies House website.

What happens to the previous directors after the transfer?

The previous nominee directors (our formation agents) are formally resigned and removed from the company records at Companies House. Your details are then registered as the new director(s) and shareholder(s). This is all filed officially with Companies House, ensuring a clean and complete transfer of control.

Can I add multiple directors or shareholders to my shelf company?

Yes, you can appoint as many directors and shareholders as you need. During the transfer process, we can register multiple individuals as directors and/or shareholders with their respective share allocations. There is no limit on the number of directors or shareholders a UK limited company can have.

Can I operate the company from outside the UK?

Yes, you can manage and operate a UK limited company from anywhere in the world. There is no requirement for directors to be physically present in the UK. You will need a UK registered office address, which we provide as part of our service. Many international entrepreneurs successfully run UK companies remotely from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

Can I buy a VAT registered company?

Yes, it is entirely legal and highly common to buy a pre-existing limited company that already holds an active HMRC VAT registration number. The transfer of ownership updates the directors and shareholders at Companies House while the VAT number securely remains attached to the corporate entity.

Does a UK company have to be VAT registered?

A UK company is legally required to register for VAT only if its taxable turnover exceeds the current HMRC threshold (£90,000 as of 2024). However, many businesses choose voluntary registration before hitting this threshold to claim back VAT on business expenses, boost corporate credibility, and comply with Amazon FBA rules.

Can I check if a UK company is VAT registered?

Yes. You can verify any UK VAT registration directly through the official UK Government HMRC portal. Simply enter the VAT Registration Number (VRN) into the "Check a UK VAT number" service online to instantly confirm whether the number is valid and matches the company's registered name and address.

How much does a UK shelf company cost?

Our UK shelf company packages start from £499 for a clean dormant UK Limited company. A VAT registered shelf company with an active HMRC VAT number and EORI number starts from £1,299. Our Premium package includes a UK business bank account and starts from £2,499. All packages include the full Companies House transfer, director change filings, registered office address for 12 months, and a complete corporate document pack. There are no hidden fees.

I am from Turkey / UAE / India — can I buy a UK shelf company?

Absolutely. UK company law places no restrictions on nationality or residency for company directors or shareholders. We have successfully transferred UK shelf companies to clients from Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, India, Egypt, China, Nigeria, USA, Canada, Germany, Poland, Romania and 30+ other countries. You simply need a valid passport and a proof of address document for KYC verification. The entire process is handled online with no need to visit the UK.

Is a UK shelf company suitable for selling on Amazon UK?

Yes — this is one of our most common use cases. Amazon requires sellers who store inventory in UK fulfilment centres (Amazon FBA) to be UK VAT registered. Our VAT registered shelf companies come with an active HMRC VAT number and EORI number — exactly what Amazon Seller Central requires. After the transfer, you update your Amazon business information with the new company details and VAT number and you are ready to sell and import stock immediately.

Does the shelf company come with a UK business bank account?

Our Premium package includes a UK shelf company with an established business bank account, typically with Mettle (NatWest subsidiary) or Starling Bank. The account is already open in the company name and is fully transferred to you as the new owner. Standard and Standard VAT packages do not include a bank account, but we can provide guidance on the best banks for non-UK resident directors. Opening a bank account separately with challenger banks like Tide or Cashplus is generally possible within 1-2 weeks after taking ownership.

How do I verify the shelf company before I pay?

Before any payment, we provide you with the full Companies House company number so you can independently verify the company status, filing history, and dormant record on the free Companies House search at find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk. We also provide the VAT number for independent verification on the HMRC "Check a UK VAT number" portal. We strongly encourage all clients to verify independently before committing.

Can I use the UK shelf company for Stripe, PayPal, or Wise?

Yes. Our VAT registered UK shelf companies are fully compatible with Stripe UK business accounts, PayPal Business accounts, and Wise Business accounts. These payment processors require a registered UK company with a Companies House number — which our companies provide. The Premium package with a business bank account makes onboarding even faster as Stripe and PayPal often require a UK business bank account for full verification.

Why does the age of a shelf company matter?

The incorporation date of a UK Limited company is publicly visible on Companies House. Suppliers, banks, and business partners often treat older companies as more established and trustworthy. An aged company incorporated 1-3 years ago looks significantly more credible than a company incorporated last week. Banks also tend to look more favourably on aged companies when assessing business account applications, credit facilities, and merchant services. This is why many clients specifically request companies aged 12 months or more.

What is the UK VAT threshold in 2025?

The UK VAT registration threshold for 2025 is £90,000 of taxable turnover in a rolling 12-month period. Businesses below this threshold can voluntarily register for VAT to reclaim VAT on business expenses and signal credibility to partners. However, many international sellers and marketplace businesses need UK VAT registration regardless of turnover — for example, all sellers storing goods in the UK must be VAT registered. Buying a pre-registered VAT company eliminates the need to wait for HMRC to process a new VAT registration application.

What if something goes wrong with the transfer?

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee. If we are unable to complete the transfer of the shelf company within the agreed timeframe for any reason attributable to us, you will receive a full refund with no questions asked. We have never failed to complete a transfer in our company history. Every transfer is handled by experienced UK company formation specialists with full knowledge of Companies House procedures and requirements.

Can I import goods from China with a UK shelf company?

Yes. To import goods into the UK from China or any other non-UK country, you need a UK EORI number for customs declarations and a UK VAT number to account for import VAT (postponed VAT accounting). Our VAT registered shelf companies include both an active EORI number and an active VAT number — giving you everything needed to start importing into the UK immediately after completing the ownership transfer. This makes our companies particularly popular with dropshippers, wholesale importers, and Amazon FBA sellers sourcing products from China.
