How to Register a Company

You can either use your own address to register a business, or you can purchase one of our virtual office packages, which allows you to use one of our addresses for all of the registration and marketing requirements of your company. Our virtual office services start at just £0.99 per week. Additionally, when you subscribe to one of our virtual office packages, we include Director(s)’ mail handling for free. This means that any company related mail that is addressed to the Directors in your company, can be sent to us for no extra charge.

Faq and Terms for our UK Company Formation

UK LTD Registration Checklist

The process of company incorporation can be overwhelming, especially if you are not used to the legal and administrative procedures involved. Our company formation service is quick and easy with no paperwork needed. You simply need to complete an easy-to-fill-in form by entering your details and we will take care of the rest for you. Here is a comprehensive guide and things to know about UK company registration before you make your application.

Choose a company name

Choosing the right name for your company is one of the most important steps of company formation. Your company name not only gives your business an identity, but it also represents what your company stands for. There are several ways to decide your company name based on what you want your customers to think about your business when they see your company name i.e. what the business does, which industry the company serves in, or you may simply want your business name to be catchy and good enough for marketing purposes.

Any name you choose for your company as part of the LTD company setup must comply with regulations set by Companies House. It must be unique and not similar to the name of another company already present on Companies House index. If you choose a name that does not meet these requirements, your application may be rejected.

Hence, it is important to check if the name you have chosen for your company is available or not.

You can check the company name availability using Companies House Company Name Availability Checker.

You should also avoid using insensitive words or expressions which may result in legal consequences.

For Example:

Words suggesting business pre-eminence, specific status, or functions (e.g., ‘British,’ ‘Institute,’ or ‘Tribunal’).
Implying a connection with the UK government, devolved administrations, or specified public authorities.
Using words representing regulated activities.
Including words that could be an offence.

Business activities

You are required to submit business activities for your company and their corresponding Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code. A SIC code is a five-digit code that describes the nature of your business. It helps agencies and government bodies systematically identify and categorise the principal business activities of companies operating in the UK.

You can use a maximum of four activities for your company with Companies House. You can change SIC codes later on if required.

Valid address for your company

With the introduction of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, Companies House have made it mandatory for each UK limited company to always have an appropriate address. An appropriate address is one where any documents sent to the registered office should be expected to come to the attention of a person acting on behalf of the company. Any documents sent to that address can be recorded by an acknowledgment of delivery.

With the new act in place, P.O. Box addresses are no longer valid. However, the address can be a premises address or a virtual address. The company address will be publicly available on the online register maintained by Companies House. Using a virtual address is ideal, particularly for startups looking to reduce setup and operational costs. It will only allow you to use the address as your company’s registered address / director’s correspondence address, but it will ensure that you do not miss any of your posts. You do not need to hire any staff to manage your office or posts if you are using a virtual address.

This way you can spend more of your budget on R&D, marketing, etc. We have a range of virtual office packages with affordable rates at some of the premium locations in the UK, including London, Belfast, and Essex.

Directors and Shareholders

Next comes the selection of directors and shareholders of the company, and determining your company structure. The director is responsible for company operations, submitting accurate finance records, and complying with laws whilst shareholders are the owners of the company.

Your company must have at least one human director. Other directors and shareholders can be a corporate body as well. Directors do not need to be UK residents. To qualify to be a director, one has to be at least 16 years old, not have undischarged bankruptcy, and not have been disqualified as a company director.

Shareholders own the company and vote on company matters. A company limited by shares must have at least one shareholder. You’ll own 100% of the company if you’re the only shareholder. There’s no maximum limit on the number of shareholders a company must have.

Application

Registering a limited company can be nerve-wracking and time-consuming if you don’t understand the legal and financial implications, but with a company formation agent, you can navigate the process smoothly. A company formation agent helps new companies register fast and right.

Company Filling is a UK company formation service that will only take a few minutes to complete your online application process. We will help you to set up and register your new company with Companies House and submit all the required documents. Companies House may take 1 to 2 working days to process the application. Once the process is complete, we will send all company formation documents to you via email.

If your application is rejected by Companies House you will need to make a new application and pay again. However, we also offer Company Formation Protection at only £3.99 inclusive VAT. If you take this protection, we will reapply for you again without any charge.
