Cost guide for Pakistan-based founders

UK LTD Registration Cost from Pakistan

See the Free Unicorn service fee separately from the Companies House incorporation fee, optional address services and recurring company/compliance work so the real purchase decision is clear.

Decision guide

Separate the service fee from government and recurring charges

Budget separately for formation assistance, Companies House incorporation and any address service. Standard online incorporation is £100 at Companies House, checked on 26 September 2026. The advertised £99 / £199 / £349 Free Unicorn packages are service fees; confirm the billing currency, exact scope and total quote before paying. A formation price is not the lifetime cost of maintaining a UK company.

  • One-time incorporation and assistance fees
  • Registered office and service address terms
  • Annual accounts and confirmation statement costs
  • Tax, VAT and optional support where applicable
