Using a UK Company to Open an Amazon Seller Account — 2026 Guide for Arabs
Have you tried opening an Amazon Seller Central account with your local identity and faced repeated rejections? Or do you want to sell in the Amazon UK and Amazon EU markets and gain access to professional FBA features? For Arab entrepreneurs, establishing a UK Limited Company (Ltd) is the fastest and most reliable way to build a stable, global Amazon store.
In 2026, with Amazon’s tightened verification procedures, Eteform.com explains how to use your UK company to overcome registration hurdles and start shipping your products.
Advantages of Selling on Amazon with a UK Company
- Professional Seller Account Activation: Gain advanced features not available to individual accounts.
- Access to FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon): Store your products in Amazon’s London warehouses and get the “Prime” badge to boost sales.
- Easy Payouts: Link your Wise Business account to Amazon to receive profits in GBP without high conversion fees.
- Bypass Category Restrictions (Ungating): UK companies often find it easier to get approval for restricted brands or categories.
Requirements for Opening an Amazon Account with a UK Ltd
You will need to prepare these documents meticulously:
- Certificate of Incorporation: The official proof of your company’s existence.
- Utility Bill: A bill in the company or director’s name (must match the registered address). Eteform provides solutions for this.
- Business Bank Statement: A statement from Wise or Revolut in the company’s name.
- Valid Passport: For the director/owner.
Step-by-Step: Formation and Amazon Linking (How-To)
Step 1: Incorporate with a Real Address
Amazon scrutinizes addresses. You must use a commercial address, not a fake PO Box. Eteform provides Registered Office addresses in London accepted by Amazon.
Step 2: Open a Digital Business Bank Account
Before applying to Amazon, you must have a business bank account. We help you open a Wise Business account and prepare your first statement for submission as financial proof.
Step 3: Register on Amazon Seller Central
When registering, select “United Kingdom” as the country of establishment and enter your company details. Use your Arab identity as the director. Ensure 100% accuracy between company documents and the Amazon application.
Golden Advice: VAT and Amazon in 2026
Once you start using Amazon warehouses in the UK (FBA), you may become liable for VAT immediately, even if your sales are below £90,000. Amazon monitors this and may close your account if you don’t add a valid VAT number. Contact us for our VAT Registration Service for Amazon Sellers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Yes. You can log in and manage orders and ad campaigns from anywhere in the world. Amazon knows many UK companies are owned by non-residents.
Q: What if Amazon asks for a “Video Call” verification?
A: Don’t worry. You will perform the call yourself, show them your passport, and confirm you are the director of the UK company. This is a routine procedure we prepare our clients for.
Q: Do I need a UK Trademark (Brand Registry)?
A: It’s not mandatory to start, but it gives you product protection and powerful marketing tools. We can help you register your UK trademark.
