VAT Registration Assistance (use at any time)
As soon as your company is registered you will receive an email containing a link to complete our online VAT questionnaire. Once you have completed the VAT questionnaire we will prepare and submit your VAT registration application to HMRC.
It may take 20 to 30 days for HMRC to process the application. Once your application is successful, we will e-mail you the VAT Registration Number. HMRC will send you the VAT registration certificate by post.
Address services
Any official government post will be scanned and emailed to you free of charge.
This must be provided by directors, shareholders, secretaries, PSCs (Persons with Significant Control). It does not need to be located in the UK, although it will be shown on the public register at Companies House. While the other packages require the separate purchase of a service address for each company officer, by purchasing this package you will be able to use our Service Address for 1 (one) person without extra charges.
