It's also pretty attractive to people, because minimum founding capital is only 1 GBP. Opposed to for example 25'000 EUR in Germany or 20'000 CHF in Switzerland.
It's very easy and cheap to set up a UK Ltd, other European nations (such as Italy) are a pain in the arse.

Why are so many porn sites owned by UK Limited companies?
What are the advantages?
Anyone speaking about being a director is bollocks.. A limited company usually has shares & makes it easier to start another business. Anyone that runs a business is a director so its nothing to do with that.
The DA is right in saying its easy to start a British limited company, however, its just as easy to start a business in a country such as Bulgaria
The main advantages of having your business base as a UK company would be the taxable expense advantages & a limited company, your house is not touched if the company goes under.

There are (or were?) further tax benefits for non-residents with UK companies operating outside of the UK as I recall.
The best ePassporte replacement I have found: OKPAY
My UK company is able to pay me dividends 12 times per year, once per month. Which means that I can receive a good amount monthly which is only taxed as capital. A monthly salary would be taxed as income and would need social taxes and employer fees added to them. So it's a way to tax-plan and keep a bit more as compared to having to pay it to government.
Besides, I do not reside in the UK, I do not have a UK passport. Yet, the company was setup for me, filed with all the proper authorities and so on in a day or two. I never have to visit UK, everything can be handled for me by a remote agent. Convinient.

I also think you have to have a turnover of 50k or more for a limited company.
