Company formations in the UK
8.30 am – 5.30 pm Monday to Friday
We have partnered with an accountancy firm who specialise in providing accounting services to new businesses. This accountancy firm will send you a welcome e-mail within 2 working days of your company being incorporated.
You may then arrange a consultation with the firm, via Skype or telephone, which is free for the first 30 minutes. Alternatively, you may put questions to them by e-mail. The purpose of this initial consultation is to introduce you to their accountancy services and discuss your accounting and taxation concerns.
Please note that you should negotiate your fees with the accountancy firm directly.
As soon as your company is registered you will receive an email containing a link to complete our online VAT questionnaire. Once you fill our VAT questionnaire, we will prepare and submit your VAT registration application to HMRC.
It may take within 20 to 30 days for HMRC to process. Once your application has been successful, we will e-mail the VAT Registration Number to you. HMRC will send you the VAT registration certificate by post.
PAYE stands for “Pay As You Earn”. Every limited company, even if the director is the sole employee, must register with HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) to set up its own payroll, which deducts income tax and national insurance contributions from the salaries paid to all staff employed by the company.
You must register your company for PAYE before your employees’ first payday and it can take up to 2 weeks to get your PAYE reference number as an employer. On the other hand, you may not register more than 2 months before you begin to pay staff.
As soon as your company is incorporated our PAYE registration partner will contact you to arrange for your registration as an employer.
A printed standard set of Limited Company documents, including:
Documents will be dispatched to you by post within 1 working day after incorporation, free of charge within the UK.
Please note that the Registered Office and Service Address cover use of our address for official government mail only. If you wish to use our address for general business correspondence, you need to purchase our Business Address Service.
This service is renewable on a 12 monthly basis.
A Service Address must be provided by directors, shareholders, secretaries, PSC’s (Persons with Significant Control) and LLP members. It will be used for receiving their personal statutory mail and legal documents from official UK government agencies, including Companies House and HMRC.
Unlike a registered office address it does not need to be located in the UK, although it will be published on public register at Companies House.
This product entitles one company officer (person) to use the address. If you require the service for more than one person, simply purchase the product for each person.
This service is renewable on a 12 monthly basis.
Our standard service will register your company at Companies House using our standard articles of association. This is perfectly fine for most business types, but some businesses may want to use their customised articles.
Those who want to upload their own articles can do this during the application process. We may charge an administration fee for this.
Please note that you can always choose our standard legal documents which is a free option and suitable for most companies.
We will provide you with a prestigious Kensington business address, creating an excellent business presence in the heart of London.
The Registered Office and Service Address cover use of our address for official government mail only. If you wish to use our address for general business correspondence, you need to purchase our Business Address Service.
With this service you may use our address as the general business contact address for your company and we will forward your mail to you as soon as we receive it.
This service is renewable on a 12 monthly basis.

Our Guaranteed Same Day Service can be added to your company formation order if you require your company to be registered before the end of the current business day.
We recommend that you speak with us before – or immediately after – you submit your application.
To guarantee that your company is formed on the same day you must ensure the following:
We cannot provide the Same Day registration service unless we have been supplied with all of the information needed by the cut-off time. Should you miss this deadline then we can refund the charge for this service upon request.
Our Same Day service guarantees that we will get your application to Companies House in time for them to process your company application that same day. In order for your company to be registered, however, there must not be any errors or mistakes in your application. If Companies House process your application that day but reject it because of any errors or mistakes, and therefore cannot register your company, this will still count as the application being processed on that same day.
If you include a “Pre-Submission Review” in your order, however, then we will review your application in order to correct any errors before it is processed by Companies House.
For further information please see: "Guaranteed Same Day Company Formation".
