Company, branch, LLP, LP & other such services provided by RKG Consulting – service listing
| Type of service | Details of service and/or business objective of structure |
| UK company incorporation | A UK company needs one director, one shareholder & a UK registered office address. RKG can provide “nominee” directors and shareholders and also a UK registered office address. We can incorporate your company within one day. Please read the article on the various commercial uses of a UK company. |
| UK Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) incorporation | An LLP preserves all the advantages of the legal structure of a company but does not pay any tax in the UK where the ownership of the LLP is overseas. For non-UK resident beneficial owners, a UK LLP can be structured in a “tax-transparent” manner, e.g. where the 2 members of the LLP are offshore entities which control and manage the LLP from outside the UK. The LLP can be used to international trading in goods and services or for holding assets. We can incorporate the LLP within one day. |
| Overseas company wishing to register a “branch” or “permanent establishment” in UK | The overseas company does not require a “legal” presence in the UK but wishes to conduct business in the UK via a form of representation. Details of directors of the overseas company, accounts and name and address of the UK permanent representative etc is required. We can register a branch within one day. |
| UK Limited Partnership (LP) registration | An LP consists of at least one “general” partner (who is responsible for the debts, obligations and running of the business) and a “limited” partner (who may not take part in the management of the firm). An LP may be structured in such a manner that accounts do not have to be filed on the registry. LPs are useful in tax planning in structures where the UK based “limited” partner performs restricted duties and the non-UK resident “general” partner effectively runs the partnership. The partners may be companies. |
| European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) | EEIGs are designed to help businesses establish and maintain links with firms in other Member States. For businesses, and smaller firms in particular, other development options – mergers, take-overs, joint ventures – may be too expensive and complicated. The EEIG provides an alternative way to establish links in other Member States without losing individual identity and independence.The EEIG is a form of association between companies or other legal bodies, firms or individuals from different EU countries who need to operate together across national frontiers. It carries out particular tasks for its member-owners and is quite separate from its owners’ businesses. Its aim is to facilitate or develop the economic activities of its members. An EEIG may be set up in any one of the Member States, and operate in any part of the EU. It can also enter into arrangements with organisations outside the EU, although these organisations cannot themselves become members of an EEIG. An EEIG enjoys several advantages including ‘legal capacity’ – the right to enter into contracts and to sue (or be sued) – and tax transparency. Further, members have flexibility regarding the method of financing the Grouping. For example, when smaller firms or non-profit making organisations are involved, their contribution may be in the services and skills they can provide. There is no capital requirement for an EEIG. Members may vary their funding methods, rights and obligations by contract so that the Grouping can develop. And, since an EEIG may not hold shares in its members, nor exercise any management control over them, it works for the members, not vice versa. An EEIG must have at least two members with their central administrations or principal activities based in different Member States. RKG Consulting can register an EEIG in the UK.

| The European Company: Societas Europaea (SE) | The SE is a European Public Limited – Liability Company. An SE may be created on registration in any one of the Member States of the European Economic Area (EEA). The Regulations require Member States to treat an SE as if it is a public limited company formed in accordance with the law of the Member State in which it has its registered office. UK national laws that apply to public limited companies also apply, in many respects, to SEs registered in the UKThere are several ways of forming an SE: by merger, as a holding company, or as a subsidiary. An SE can also be formed by a PLC transforming into an SE. Once registered, an SE has legal personality. It must have a registered office. Some Member States may require the registered office and the head office to be at the same address, not just in the same Member State. The UK does not. An SE must have share capital and shareholders whose liability is limited in a similar manner to that of a PLC. As with a PLC, an SE may denominate its share capital in any currency it chooses provided that at least £50,000 is denominated in Sterling or €57,100 is denominated in Euros. Regardless of the currency in which it is expressed, an SE is required to have a minimum amount of subscribed share capital equivalent to at least EUR €120,000.
