UK Ltd package for Pharmacist consulting

Why form a UK company for this activity?

• A paid online consultation on a weight-loss medicine a doctor has prescribed, or on a diet plan that sits beside that care
• A sterling invoice in the company name, not in a personal name
• A London registered office for one year, visible before the client pays
• Three offers: one session, a monthly follow-up, or a diet plan with a fixed length
• A clinic arrangement that refers patients for counselling after the doctor writes the prescription, not for you to sell the drug
• International consulting fees kept apart from a personal account
• A director service address so the home address stays off the public register
• A certificate and company number to introduce the service; any financial account remains that institution’s decision

Work you can sell after formation

The company makes the consultation billable. The medicine stays where a licensed dispenser in the client’s country supplies it. These are examples of advice, not of a sale:

• An online session for a patient in London whose doctor prescribed a weight-loss medicine: how to take it as written, and which signs mean they should go back to that doctor
• A monthly check on adherence to the medicine and the diet, with a short note, and no change to the prescription
• A written diet plan for two weeks or a month, priced in advance, described as a food plan and not as a cure for obesity
• A session with a family member explaining the first weeks, inside what the pharmacist’s own licence allows
• An arrangement with a clinic that refers patients for an Arabic-language counselling session after the doctor has written the prescription
• A review of other medicines a patient is taking with the weight-loss drug, with a note back to the doctor if there is a clash, not a replacement prescription

What is sold, and what is not shipped

The product is the pharmacist’s time: a session, a bundle, or a diet plan with a start and an end. The UK company is the party on the contract and the invoice. If a medicine is involved, a licensed pharmacy in the client’s country dispenses it against the doctor’s prescription. This package does not create a pharmacy, a warehouse or a shipping line.

Advertising

In Britain, advertising a prescription-only medicine to the public is not allowed. Do not name the medicine in the advert, and do not show the injection as a product for sale. An acceptable advert describes a pharmacist consultation or a diet plan, and leaves the prescription to the doctor. Any promise of weight lost, or of a guaranteed result, stays out of the advert and out of the contract.

The professional line

A Companies House filing is commercial. It does not make you a pharmacist licensed in Britain, it does not give a right to dispense, and it does not add a prescribing right you do not already hold where you practise. If your licence is counselling only, the contract is written to that scope. Your own regulator remains your review. We check the company name so it does not present a dispensary; words such as Pharmacy are often delayed or refused.

The London address

The registered office is for official mail, invoices and the public register. The director service address keeps the home address unpublished. Neither is a pharmacy counter or a clinic where a patient collects medicine.

The first week after the company number

• Put the number and the London address on the consultation invoice, with one fixed sentence: the prescription is the doctor’s, and the company does not dispense
• Price three offers — a session, a monthly follow-up, and a diet plan — without naming a prescription medicine in the advert
• Agree Corporation Tax and accounts with an accountant; tax in the country of your licence is separate
• Do not buy stock, and do not promise the patient a result
• Note the first Confirmation Statement. Filing runs through an ACSP; the role is described at What ACSP means
