There seems to be a slight misunderstanding. A sole trader isn't actually a company. It's a business structure where you, as an individual, run the business. This means you and the business are considered the same legal entity. Choose a business name. You can't use a name that already exists for a limited company or registered trademark. Check availability on the Companies House website www.gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house. Keep good business records. You'll need them to calculate your tax bill. You might need to register for VAT (Value Added Tax) if your turnover exceeds £85,000 in a year. You can check and register on the HMRC website.

Hi , being in skilled worker visa(IT consultant) can I open and run a limited company (buying property) as a director myself ? Please check and tell me. Thanks
es, you can open and run a limited company as a director while on a Skilled Worker visa. But you need to consider: No Active Work in the Company: You cannot actively work in the company or receive a salary from it. You can hold the position of director, but your primary employment must remain with your sponsor. And Buying a property, do you mean a ltd company buying a property ? Yes, your company can buy a property in the UK. There are no restrictions on companies buying property, regardless of the nationality of the directors or shareholders. You can think of switching to Self Sponsor Skilled Worker route th-cam.com/video/eDiTPAuE830/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps...

Hi, For sponsored licence, do we have to input another shareholder and director to be included while registering for business, is it mandatory? also is it mandatory while doing skilled worker application later on ? lastly not least, if want to register a business which is selling online, what is best to go for sole trader or ltd?
No, there is no requirement to have another shareholder or director when registering a business for a sponsored licence or a Skilled Worker visa application. You can be the sole director and shareholder when applying for a sponsored licence. However, the UKVI will assess the financial viability and credibility of your business, so a single director/shareholder might require a robust business plan and evidence of funding.

I reside in the Middle East while my brother resides in the UK on a dependent visa.

Lastly, would my brother's employment be categorized as skilled?
Hello sir, i have a brother who has a work permit in UK, I want him to help me open a company in UK, will that affect his job ?, and secondly if i want buy the company, do i need any resident permit to do so ?

I come to uk as dependent what can i do to start a Company? Do i need to find a partner who hold a british passport and the company is registered on his name and i can be only share Holder get sponsor from my company ? Halp me out thank you
Starting a company in the UK as a dependent on a visa can be done, but there are limitations and complexities to consider. Can you directly start a company? Yes, you can technically register a company in the UK even on a dependent visa. However, your ability to work for the company or actively manage it may be restricted depending on your specific visa type. Restrictions on working: Some dependent visas, like those tied to skilled worker visas, allow limited self-employment but not full-time paid employment. This means you might not be able to draw a salary from your own company unless you switch to a visa that allows full-time self-employment. Start a company but avoid paid work: You can register the company and be involved in its initial setup and planning. However, you wouldn't be able to draw a salary until you switch to a visa that allows full-time self-employment. Find a British partner: As you suggested, partnering with a British citizen or someone with a work visa who would act as the director and manage the company while you hold shares can be an option. However, ensure a genuine business relationship and avoid creating a "sham" arrangement just for visa purposes. Switch to a self-employment visa: Consider exploring options like the Innovator Visa or the Start-up Visa, which are specifically designed for entrepreneurs. These visas have specific requirements but offer the ability to work full-time for your own business. Resources and help: UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI): www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration Immigration lawyers: Consult with a qualified UK immigration lawyer for detailed advice based on your specific visa and business plans. Business support organizations: Organizations like the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) offer resources and support for setting up businesses in the UK. www.fsb.org.uk/ Remember: Starting a business involves time, effort, and financial commitment. Carefully research, assess your options, and seek professional guidance before making any decisions. I hope this information helps!
