Halal consulting

UK Ltd package for Halal consulting

The consultant prepares the factory for a certification body’s visit, reviews the supply chain, translates procedures, and invoices a fee from a UK company with a London registered office. The halal certificate itself is issued by a recognised certification body, not by this company. Formation does not make you a certification body.

UK Ltd formation for Halal consulting — what to expect

See also UK company formation, 2026 cost breakdown, and packages.

Why form a UK company for this activity?

  • A sterling consulting invoice in the company name
  • A London registered office for one year in front of the factory and the buyer
  • Three offers: a gap review, visit preparation, or procedure translation
  • A contract stating that the certificate comes from the certification body, not from you
  • Consulting fees kept apart from a personal account
  • A director service address that keeps the home address private
  • A certificate and company number to introduce the service
  • Acceptance of a financial account remains that institution’s decision

A good fit if…

  • You prepare factories for a visit by a recognised halal certification body
  • The contract will say you do not issue the certificate
  • Fees are published; there is no hidden commission from the certification body

May not suit you if…

  • You want to become a halal certification body through formation alone
  • You will issue a halal certificate from your company
  • You will promise the factory that the body will accept the file
  • You expect a bank account the moment the number is issued

What the consultant can invoice after formation

The company makes the consulting billable. The certificate stays with the certification body:

  • A meat plant in Egypt wants to export to the Gulf: a gap report before the certification visit, on a fee invoice
  • A confectionery plant reviews supplier ingredients and documents the chain for the file, without issuing a certificate
  • Translating slaughter or cleaning procedures into English for a file sent to a European body
  • A training day for the factory quality team before the visit, at a published day rate
  • Admin support on visit day: papers and an interpreter, not a certification decision
  • An annual contract with a group of plants to refresh procedures when a supplier changes

What you sell, and who issues the certificate

The product is the consultant’s time: a gap review, preparation, translation and training. The halal certificate is issued by a certification body the factory chooses and the buyer recognises. Your UK company is not that body.

The professional limit

Companies House does not license you as a certification body. Do not call the company Halal Authority or Certification Body. Do not promise file acceptance. Any commission from a certification body must be allowed by its rules and shown to the factory in the contract. We review the name so it describes consulting, not certification.

The London address

A registered office for mail and invoices. Not a laboratory and not a certification office.

The first week after the company number

  • A fixed line on the invoice: the certificate comes from the certification body; the fee is for consulting only
  • Price three offers with no promise of acceptance
  • Agree Corporation Tax for your company with an accountant
  • Note the Confirmation Statement via What ACSP means

FAQ — Halal certification consulting

Who is this package for?

For a consultant who prepares factories for a halal certification file. The package does not make you a certification body.

Do I issue the halal certificate?

No. The certificate comes from a recognised certification body the factory chooses. You sell preparation and consulting.

Can I promise acceptance?

No. Acceptance is the certification body’s decision after its visit. The contract does not promise acceptance.

What does it cost?

The Eteform fee is £1050. The Companies House fee of £100 is separate. Filing is typically inside 24–48 UK business hours after a complete file.

Can the company be called Certification?

Usually not. A name that implies a certification body is often refused or misleads the client. We review the options.

Does a bank account open with the company?

No. Acceptance is the financial institution’s decision after its checks.

Can I take a commission from the certification body?

Only if its rules allow it and the factory sees it in the contract. No hidden commission.

How do I order?

Start from this page and mention halal certification consulting.
