About Silk & Thames Ltd
Our Mission
Silk & Thames Ltd is a London-based commercial gateway dedicated to helping Indian manufacturers retain 100% legal ownership of their UK corporate assets and direct retail margins. We eliminate the middleman, establish your UK trading entity, and manage your direct marketplace operations — so your factory captures the full retail value of every unit sold in the United Kingdom.
Compliance & Trust FAQ
Who legally owns the UK company and bank account?
You do. The UK Ltd is incorporated with 100% of your equity at Companies House, and the native GBP bank account is registered under your legal identity. Silk & Thames acts as your operational partner — never as a co-owner or trustee of your assets.
How do I avoid the HMRC 20% NETP foreign seller tax trap?
We set up a domestic UK VAT registration and EORI customs link, allowing you to legally reclaim 100% of your import VAT and expenses. This transforms your status from a foreign non-established taxable person (NETP) to a fully compliant domestic UK VAT-registered trader.
How do payouts and profit remittances work?
Marketplace payouts land directly into your Wise/Airwallex GBP business account, which is registered in your name. Funds can be remitted directly to your Indian bank account with zero forced exchange rate penalties — you choose when and how to convert, giving you full control over your forex exposure.
What if I want to start step-by-step?

• Stage 1 — UK Ltd incorporation, Companies House filing, and registered London address.
