Why form a UK company for this activity?
What the consultant can invoice after formation
The company makes the consulting billable. The certificate stays with the certification body:
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.
