Law offices

UK Ltd package for Law offices

An Egyptian in London is rarely looking for someone to appear in an English court. They want a lawyer who can explain a matter in Egypt and take a paid brief: one session, a short package, or a monthly follow-up. A UK company is the contracting party, the invoice, and a London registered office. Advocacy in Egypt stays with lawyers licensed there. Companies House registration is not a licence to practise law.

**Law-office expansion**UK company formation for law office expansion — Eteform

UK Ltd formation for Law offices — what to expect

A UK Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity registered at Companies House. Non-resident founders can form one remotely through structured identity verification support. Eteform handles the filing and checks in 24–48 working hours. Four service packages start from £450; add £30 identity verification and a separate £100 Companies House fee.

After incorporation you receive a CRN and digital documents. Many founders then open Wise Business or Revolut Business, set a London registered office if needed, and prepare for Stripe, Shopify or Amazon using matching company details. Annual duties typically include the Confirmation Statement (CS01), accounts, and Corporation Tax registration with HMRC when trading starts. Dormant companies still have lighter filing duties — they are not a full exemption from Companies House.

UK company formation does not grant UK residency or a visa. Eteform delivers legal, complete execution with a correctly filed, transparent entity and Arabic support from order to certificate, plus a clear file for bank or payment-gateway applications. Compare packages, read the formation guide, or start your order with clear pricing.

Why form a UK company for this activity?

Paid online consultations for clients in Britain about matters in Egypt, invoiced by the UK company
Three offers you can price: a single session, a bundle of sessions, or a monthly file review
A London registered office for one year, so the office is a company with an address, not only a phone number
Fees collected in the company name, separate from the personal account of the Egypt office
Referral terms with an accountant, estate agent or translator in Britain, kept apart from case files
A paid community briefing on procedures in Egypt, sold as attendance, not as a UK practising right
A director service address so the home address stays off the public register
A certificate and company number to show a partner or a financial institution, whose own decision still stands

A good fit if…

You already run a licensed office in Egypt and your audience includes Egyptians living in Britain
You will sell an opinion, a consultation or written monitoring about procedures in Egypt
You want a sterling invoice and a contract before you advertise paid sessions
One or more partners in the Egypt office will be shareholders of the UK company

May not suit you if…

You want the title of solicitor, or rights of audience in the courts of England and Wales
You want a client meeting room in London; a registered office receives official mail and is not a consulting suite
Your advert would say you are licensed to practise law in Britain
No lawyer licensed in Egypt will take the matter if it moves from advice to a claim
You expect a visa, or a bank account, merely because the company number is issued

Work you can actually sell

The company does not deliver clients. It makes the offer payable. These are the jobs an Egyptian office typically contracts with someone living in Britain. The subject is Egypt, not the law of England:

A paid video session on an estate in Cairo for a client in London, invoiced by the UK company
A monthly watch on a flat sale in Egypt, with a written note every two weeks until registration
A first session on a family dispute, then a separate power of attorney to a lawyer licensed in Egypt if the client proceeds
A written review of an Egyptian supply contract for a trader in Birmingham, scoped as advice, not as advocacy
A paid community session on what to do after a death in Egypt, sold as seats and a defined topic
A referral arrangement with an accountant in Britain who sends Egyptian clients for inheritance consultations, for a fee you both agree

The paid online consultation

The product a client in Britain understands is a time, a written scope and a price in sterling. Sell one session, three sessions, or a monthly retainer on a live file. The UK company is the party on the contract and the invoice. The opinion stays inside the lawyer’s existing licence and the client’s matter in Egypt. If the file needs a court or a government office in Egypt, the power of attorney goes to a lawyer licensed there. The UK company is not the advocate.

What the client in Britain sees

A company number and a certificate, not only a personal name
A London registered office on the invoice and on the introduction
A fee paid to a company, in a currency they already use
A scope clause: advice on a matter in Egypt, not representation in a British court
A named route if the question becomes a claim in Egypt

What the London address is for

The registered office receives Companies House mail and appears on the public register and on your invoices. The director service address keeps the home address unpublished. Neither is a room where clients sit. Hourly meeting space, if you need it later, is a different service and is not in this package.

The professional line we do not cross

A Companies House filing is commercial. It does not create a right to practise in England and Wales, it does not replace bar admission in Egypt, and it does not authorise advocacy. Reserved work there includes rights of audience, the conduct of litigation, certain property and probate instruments, notarial acts, and regulated immigration advice. Advertising must not call the office a firm of solicitors. The Egyptian bar rules remain the office’s own review. We check the company name so the file is not presented as a licensed firm; words such as Solicitors are often refused or delayed.

The first week after the company number

Turn on the registered office and the director service address, and put both on the invoice
Publish three prices: one session, a bundle, and a monthly review, with one fixed sentence that the scope is Egypt
Agree Corporation Tax and annual accounts with an accountant; tax in Egypt is a separate path
Do not start reserved work in England and Wales, and do not promise a visa or a bank account
Note the first Confirmation Statement. Filing itself runs through an ACSP; the role is described at What ACSP means

FAQ — Law-office expansion

Can I charge a client in Britain for an online consultation about a matter in Egypt?

That is the ordinary commercial use: a contract, a scope and an invoice from the UK company, about Egypt. If the matter needs a court or an authority in Egypt, a lawyer licensed there takes the power of attorney. The company does not make you a lawyer licensed in Britain.

Do I become a solicitor, or can I appear in a British court?

No. The package forms a company and provides a registered office. The title of solicitor and rights of audience are a different professional authorisation. They do not come from Companies House.

Which work stays outside this company?

Rights of audience and the conduct of litigation in England and Wales, reserved property and probate instruments, notarial acts, and regulated immigration advice. Also any advert that implies a British practising right. A claim in Egypt is handled by a lawyer licensed in Egypt.

Is the London address a place where clients visit me?

No. It is the registered office for official mail, the public register and invoices, plus a director service address that keeps your home off that register. It is not a meeting room.

Does a bank account or card checkout open on its own?

No. The company number, certificate and address are documents in the file. Acceptance is the institution’s decision after its checks. We do not promise a bank or a payment gateway.

How do I collect the consultation fee?

After formation the invoice carries the company name, number and London address. How the client pays depends on the account or tool an institution later accepts. Opening that account is not part of this package.

How is this different from my bar admission in Egypt?

Admission in Egypt is what authorises practice and representation there. The UK company is how you contract and invoice a client who lives abroad. Neither replaces the other, and the bar rules in Egypt remain for the office to follow.

Do I have to travel to London to incorporate?

No. Identity checks and filing are remote through an ACSP. The London address is the company’s registered office, not your home.

Can my partners be shareholders?

Yes. More than one director and shareholder is normal, with the split you agree. Each person needs a passport and proof of address for the identity check.

What about tax and VAT?

Profits of the UK company can be within Corporation Tax, and annual accounts are required. Tax in Egypt is a separate question. VAT registration does not start automatically on incorporation; it is reviewed if taxable sales grow. This is orientation, not advice in place of an accountant in each country.

Can the company be called Law or Solicitors?

Usually not. Names that imply a regulated practice are often refused or delayed at Companies House. We review the options so the name describes a commercial presence, not a licence.

May I advertise to clients in Britain?

You may describe paid advice on matters in Egypt, provided the advert does not say you are licensed to appear in Britain or that you are a solicitor. The scope clause in the contract is what both sides rely on.

What does £1000 buy, and how long does it take?

The Eteform fee is £1000 for formation, the London registered office for one year, and the director service address for one year. The Companies House fee of £100 is separate. After a complete file and payment, filing is typically inside 24–48 UK business hours. That is a description of the process, not a promised date.

Case fees and professional licences are not included.

What should I prepare in the first week?

An invoice with the number and the London address, three published prices, one sentence that the service is advice on Egypt and not representation in Britain, and a date with an accountant for the annual filings. Do not start reserved work, and do not promise a visa.

Does the company give me a visa?

No. Registration is separate from immigration. Any visa route has its own Home Office rules and is outside this package.

Who appears on the public register?

The director and shareholder names appear. The home address does not, if a director service address is used. The company’s registered office is the London address.

The client wants a formal power of attorney, not only advice. Where is that completed?

The consultation and the monitoring can be contracted through the UK company. The power of attorney and any advocacy in Egypt are completed inside the licensed office under the professional rules there. The right to appear does not move to the UK company.

How do I order?

Start from this page and mention law-office expansion, so the name and the activity description match this commercial scope and not a professional licence.
