How it works
Jurisdiction selection
UK Ltd for European and global credibility; US LLC for US clients, Stripe, and USD billing. We review your client base and recommend.
Company registration
We file with Companies House (UK, 24–48 hours) or the state division (US, 1–3 days) once your intake details are complete.
Documents delivered
Incorporation pack ready for opening a business bank account or Stripe account.
Payment setup
We provide a checklist for linking your new entity to Stripe, PayPal, Wise, or your preferred payment processor.
Frequently asked questions
UK Ltd or US LLC - which is better for my agency?
If most of your clients are in the US or you need Stripe US, a Delaware or Wyoming LLC is better - it unlocks US payment processors without friction. If your clients are in the EU, UK, or globally distributed and you want a professional registered address, a UK Ltd offers more credibility for European buyers. Many agencies form both as they grow.
Can I invoice in GBP, EUR, and USD from the same company?
Yes. Both UK Ltd and US LLC can hold multi-currency bank accounts (e.g. via Wise Business or Payoneer) and invoice in multiple currencies. The company books everything in its functional currency; your accountant handles FX treatment.
Do I need to register for VAT as a UK Ltd?
VAT registration is mandatory above the UK VAT threshold (currently £90,000 in the UK). If your clients are outside the UK, B2B services may be outside the scope of UK VAT under the 'place of supply' rules. Consult a UK VAT specialist - we do not provide tax advice.
Can my agency employ contractors through a US LLC?
Yes. A US LLC can pay contractors worldwide. Each US-based contractor earning $600+ in a tax year requires a Form 1099. International contractors typically provide a W-8BEN. We do not provide tax advice; consult a US accountant for payroll and contractor structuring.
