Pharmacist consulting

UK Ltd package for Pharmacist consulting

A licensed pharmacist, in any country, can sell advice rather than a box of medicine. A client whose doctor has already prescribed a weight-loss medicine, or who wants a diet plan alongside that care, pays for the session on an invoice from a UK company with a London registered office. The company does not dispense, import or ship the medicine, and it does not promise weight loss. The pharmacist’s existing licence stays the licence.

**Pharmaceutical consulting**UK company formation for pharmaceutical consulting — Eteform

UK Ltd formation for Pharmacist consulting — 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?

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

A good fit if…

You are a licensed pharmacist and you want to sell your time, not the medicine
Your clients already have a doctor’s prescription, or they want a written diet plan
The contract will say the prescription is the doctor’s, and that you do not dispense or ship the medicine
You want a sterling invoice before you advertise the sessions

May not suit you if…

You want a UK pharmacy premises licence, or the right to dispense prescriptions in Britain
You will advertise a prescription-only medicine to the public in Britain
You will sell, store or ship the injections or tablets through the company
You will promise a number of kilograms or a guaranteed result
You expect a visa, or a bank account, because a company number was issued

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

FAQ — Pharmaceutical consulting

Who is this package for?

A pharmacist who is already licensed in some country and wants to contract paid consultations. The package does not license someone who is not a pharmacist, and it does not move a licence from one country to another.

Can I sell or ship the weight-loss medicine?

No. The company is for invoicing the consultation and the diet plan. Dispensing, shipping and storage sit outside the package and follow the pharmacy rules of the country that supplies the medicine, not the fact of incorporation.

May I advertise the name of a weight-loss medicine to the public in Britain?

No. Advertising a prescription-only medicine to the public is not allowed in Britain. Advertise the consultation or the diet plan. The medicine’s name belongs in the doctor’s prescription and, if your licence allows, in the session after that prescription exists.

What exactly do I sell?

A consultation, a monthly adherence review, or a diet plan with a stated length. You may explain a medicine the patient’s doctor has prescribed, inside your own licence, without changing that prescription or dispensing the medicine.

Does this make me a pharmacist licensed in Britain?

No. A Companies House registration does not admit you to the British pharmacy regulator and does not give a right to dispense there.

Can I prescribe the weight-loss medicine myself?

Only if your current licence, where you practise, already allows prescribing. The company does not add that authority. If your licence is counselling only, the contract is written to that scope.

May I promise a weight-loss result?

No. No kilograms, no guaranteed duration, no guaranteed result. A diet plan is a food plan and follow-up. The medicine remains the doctor’s and the patient’s decision.

Is the London address a pharmacy or a clinic?

No. It is a registered office for mail and invoices, plus a director service address that keeps your home off the register. Patients do not collect medicine there.

What does £1150 cover, and how long does it take?

The Eteform fee is £1150 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, filing is typically inside 24–48 UK business hours. That is a description, not a promised date.

Do I travel, and can a colleague be a shareholder?

Formation is remote. More than one pharmacist can be a director or shareholder. Each person needs a passport and proof of address.

What about tax?

Profits of the UK company can fall within Corporation Tax, and annual accounts are required. Tax in the country of your licence is separate. VAT registration does not start automatically. Ask an accountant in each country; this is orientation, not tax advice.

Can the company be called Pharmacy?

Usually not. A name that implies a dispensary is often refused or delayed. We review the options so the name describes consultation, not supply.

Does a bank account open with the company?

No. The number, certificate and address are documents in the file. Acceptance is the institution’s decision. We do not promise an account or a card checkout.

How do I order?

Start from this page and mention pharmaceutical consulting, so the description is matched to advice and not to dispensing.
