When an overseas company opens an establishment which carries on business in the United Kingdom, it may have to register its particulars with Companies House. For details on registration requirements, see Practice Note: Overseas companies with an establishment in the UK.

The regime for registration of an overseas company doing business in the UK is separate and distinct from the registration of overseas entities with an interest in UK property. For further details on the register of overseas entities that own UK property established by the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Act 2022 (EC(TE)A 2022), see Practice Notes: Register of overseas entities that hold UK property—fundamentals and The beneficial ownership register of overseas entities that own UK property.

This Practice Note summarises the requirements of an overseas company pursuant to the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) and the Overseas Companies Regulations 2009 (OC Regs 2009) in relation to its winding up, liquidation or other insolvency proceedings and the closure of its UK establishment.
