Professional intermediaries succeed when company formation is done correctly the first time. This service is designed for accountants, solicitors and introducers who register companies on behalf of others. We focus on accuracy, clear documentation and reliable turnaround times, enabling you to serve your clients efficiently and without rework. You receive fully non-branded deliverables, ready to present under your own name or firm.
Company Formation for Professionals
This service is for professionals who act for clients in the United Kingdom or overseas who wish to set up a limited UK company. It is suitable for accountants, bookkeepers, solicitors, consultants and family members assisting a director or business owner. Typical cases include forming a trading company, a holding company or a dormant special purpose vehicle (SPV).
What You Get
You receive a complete, non-branded digital set suitable for client files and onward KYC, including:
- Certificate of Incorporation.
- Articles of Incorporation.
- Memorandum, first board minutes, shareholder records and initial registers.
All items are produced in a clean, consistent format without any promotional content, allowing you to forward them directly to your client or store them for compliance purposes.
Built for Intermediaries – Practical Advantages
Our company formation service is designed to make your work as an intermediary straightforward and dependable:
- Accurate filings – all company details are checked before submission to minimise errors and rejections.
- Professional documentation – clear, neutral deliverables suitable for client use and compliance records.
- SIC code discipline – we help ensure the chosen activity code is accurate and up to date, avoiding later issues with banks or HMRC.
- Flexible share structures – you may create companies with one or multiple share classes, according to your client’s requirements.
- Clean handover – all incorporation documents are delivered in a single, well-organised package, ready for client delivery or record keeping.
Pricing and Options for Resellers and Agents
This service is designed for professional users who manage company registrations on behalf of others and require precise, compliant results. It can be used on a one-off or regular basis, with no obligation to purchase additional services.
If you are forming a company for a client, colleague or family member, the correct option is our Proxy Company Formation package. It is specifically structured for accountants, solicitors and other intermediaries who act as the authorised party in the registration process.
If any director, shareholder or person with significant control is not a UK resident, please use our Non-Resident package instead, as it includes the verification steps required for overseas clients.
AML and Verification for Intermediaries
Our AML process is designed to keep compliance straightforward for professionals who act on behalf of others. We verify the identity and authority of the instructing party and screen all directors, shareholders and PSCs against sanctions and PEP lists.
For company formation for accountants and resellers, we can accept KYC documentation from regulated firms, but we also carry out our own sanctions and PEP checks to ensure full compliance with AML requirements. If a higher risk is identified, enhanced due diligence may apply, and we may request additional documents or clarification.
You can find the complete list of acceptable identification documents on our ID Requirements.

In addition to company formation, intermediaries can access our full range of related services to support their clients. These include:
- Registered Office Address – use our London address as the official registered office for your client’s company.
- Director Service Address – keep directors’ residential addresses private on the public record.
