Why form a UK company for this activity?
What the brand can sell after formation
The company makes the brand contractable and billable. Food safety stays where the product is sold:
What the company covers, and what stays with food safety
The company is the party on invoices, contracts and the trading brand. Food-safety registration, ingredient labelling and import rules in the destination country are parallel paths with a regulatory adviser. This package does not issue a food-safety certificate.
The commercial limit
Companies House registration does not open a café without a local licence, promise buyers a health effect, or guarantee Stripe or a bank. If you sell inside Britain as a food business, local registration may be required. We review the name so it does not imply a licensed restaurant if it is not one.
The London address
The registered office is for mail and invoices. It is not a warehouse or a roastery unless you rent that separately.
