Strongly recommend

I am not based in the UK, so I am not aware of any regulations. Catherine helped me understand the yearly filing and helped me in a highly professional manner. Since then, I formed two other companies with them and will strongly recommend them to you.

Sophia Wilson

Easy-to-use website

Easy-to-use website helped me a lot. I felt very easy to reach you all the time I needed both by phone and chat. Even after some misunderstanding, I felt bad about myself being rude to them. Still, they were very calm, helping me solve my problems. 5 Stars for you, Steve.

Byrne Harry

Polite and professional

I am really impressed with the service. They have been helpful, polite, and professional. I had issues selecting business activity with some codes, and they guided me to select an exact one for mine. I would recommend your service to people looking to register a new company.

UK company formation FAQ's

How to register a company

How long will it take to register a company in the UK?

We will normally register your new company within three to six hours of you submitting your online application via our website. However, registering a company name within this timeframe does depend on how busy Companies House is on that day. For those who need to register a limited company urgently, we offer a guaranteed same-day formation service (orders should be submitted before 14:00 GMT on any business day). You will receive all the official paperwork in your email inbox as soon as your company is registered at Companies House.

What information should I provide to form my new company?

When setting up and registering a new business, you need to choose a unique company name to provide Companies House. You will also need to provide the full name, email address, residential address or business address, date of birth, nationality, business occupation, telephone number, town of birth and eye colour of each director/shareholder to form and register a UK limited company. If you don't have a business address you can use, our virtual address services can provide all you need to acquire a legally registered office.

What documents are required to register a UK limited company?

Once your company formation application is submitted, an email invitation will be sent from Credas (our third party partner) to complete your ID verification online. In order to complete your ID verification online, you will need to upload 1 or 2 ID documents and 1 Address proof document along with your selfie photograph. The uploaded documents will be reviewed and you will be reached for any additional information, if required.

How do I choose and register a company name?

If you are registering a new private limited company, you must choose a unique name for your business. To register a company name, you must make sure the name ends with either “Limited” or “Ltd” or the Welsh equivalents (“Cyfyngedig” or “Cyf”). Your company name cannot be the same (or similar) to another registered company’s name.

What documents will I get as proof of my new company incorporation?

As soon as Companies House approves your online company registration application, your documents will be on the way. You will receive electronic copies of your certificate of incorporation with your unique company number, memorandum and articles of association, and share certificates for all shareholders via email. If applicable, printed documents will be posted in the mail to all relevant company directors within 24 hours.

As a director, do I have to publish my home address on the public record?

Once you register a limited company, all directors must submit their residential address and a service address. Both the addresses can be the same or different. By choosing a different service address, you can keep your home address confidential. Our company director’s address service allows directors to hide their home address from the internet, marketing agencies and the general public.

Do I need to appoint a director for my new company?

Yes. You must appoint a director for your new company. Your UK limited company must have at least one director over the age of 16. Directors are legally responsible for running the company, filing accounts and submitting official paperwork. Another company can also be a director, but at least one of your directors must be a person.

Can you help me get a business bank account with Barclays?

Yes! Once you register a company name, we can help you set up a business bank account with Barclays via a fast-tracked application process. Please note that this offer is available for UK residents only. We have other business banking options for non-UK residents.
