Company Formation

Start your new venture on the right foot with our professional formation service.

In short

We register your new limited company with Companies House from £99 + VAT. We help you get the essentials right from day one: the share structure, directors and people with significant control, identity verification, and what you need to register with HMRC afterwards.

What’s included

  • Advice on whether a limited company is right for you
  • Choosing and checking your company name
  • Setting up directors, shareholders and people with significant control (PSCs)
  • Share structure and standard articles of association
  • Submitting the incorporation to Companies House
  • A checklist of next steps: Corporation Tax registration, bank account, PAYE and VAT if needed

Identity verification

Since 18 November 2025, new directors and people with significant control must verify their identity with Companies House. We’ll explain the process so it doesn’t hold up your formation.

After your company is formed

  • Register for Corporation Tax within 3 months of starting to trade
  • Register as an employer for PAYE before the first payday if you’ll pay anyone, including yourself as a director, at or above the Lower Earnings Limit
  • Register for VAT if your taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in a rolling 12 months
  • Keep proper records from the start: we can set up your bookkeeping

Answers

Company Formation: common questions

How much does it cost to form a limited company with you?

Our company formation service starts from £99 + VAT. We confirm the total, including any Companies House fees, before we submit anything.

How long does company formation take?

Once identity verification is complete and the details are agreed, Companies House usually registers online applications quickly, often within a day or two.

Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?

It depends on your profits, plans and how you want to take income. A limited company can be more tax-efficient at higher profits but brings more admin. Our consultancy service can compare the two for you.

What do I have to do after my company is formed?

Register for Corporation Tax within 3 months of starting to trade. Register as an employer for PAYE before paying anyone (including yourself) at or above the Lower Earnings Limit, and for VAT if taxable turnover goes over £90,000. You’ll also need to keep records and file annual accounts and a confirmation statement.
