Choose a Business Name:
The first step in incorporating a company in the UK is to choose a business name. The name must be unique and not already in use by another company. You can check the availability of your desired name by visiting the website of the Secretary of State in the state where you plan to incorporate one. Your name must usually end in either ‘Limited’ or ‘Ltd’.

Choose a State to Incorporate In:
Unlike the US, there is no concept of states in the UK. Instead, you can choose to incorporate your company in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland.

File Articles of Association:
The Articles of Association is a legal document that establishes the existence of your company. It includes information such as the name of the company, the purpose of the company, the number of shares of stock, and the names and addresses of the initial directors. The filing fee for the Articles of Association varies by state, but it typically ranges from £10 to £40.
