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

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 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.
