Turner Little

What Turner Little does

Turner Little Limited is a York-headquartered, FCA-authorized (No. 734784) corporate services firm founded in 1998 by Granville Turner and now jointly led with his son James Turner. The company specializes in company formation and banking intermediation, offering UK formations (Private Limited, PLC, LLP, Guarantee), offshore formations across 50+ jurisdictions, all-50-state US formations, and nine UAE free-zone formations, alongside a growing portfolio of high-value regulated license applications including crypto-asset service provider (CASP), virtual asset service provider (VASP), digital token payments, gambling, and family office licenses. Supporting services include UK and offshore bank account arrangement as a Registered Bank Intermediary, trust and foundation establishment, trademark registration, credit analysis, mail forwarding, wills and probate, asset protection structuring, and wealth management.

The business is built on a bespoke Discovery Process that pairs each client with a consultant to design jurisdiction-specific structures, rather than on proprietary technology. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time professional service fees for formations and license applications (ranging from £25 for a name check to £100,000 for a Singapore Digital Token Payment License), supplemented by recurring mail forwarding subscriptions (£500-£800 per year), ongoing wealth management relationships, and ancillary corporate services. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer online purchase for standardized products, sales-led phone/WhatsApp/Telegram consultation for bespoke engagements, and an established professional referral network with accountants and solicitors. The company operates from a single UK office with global client reach spanning virtually every country, under family ownership with no external venture, private equity, or institutional investment disclosed.
