We have many testimonials from company formation, company registrations, and company credit reports customers. If you activate the Flash player you can see them.

The Company Merchant Limited is a well established (1994) UK company formation agent offering Companies House registration of a UK Limited company usually in around 4 working hours, using our online service with optional VAT registration carried out after the company registration.

Form you limited company quickly and simply online with a direct limited company incorporation service. Put yourself in control, saving you time and money with the fastest company formations available (often between 2 to 6 working hours). We submit direct to Companies House electronically for a fast turn around.

With our "no extra cost" policy for resubmitting rejected company registration forms, we are the preferred company registration solution provider for many accountants, company formation agents and thousands of business entrepreneurs.

NEW. If you are in a regulated industry for Anti Money Laundering, such as company formations, financial services, estate agents, company secretarial services, registered office services etc then you NEED a policy document to conform to the regulations.  See our Anti Money Laundering Policy document request form for more information

Looking for an "old" off the shelf company, registered in December 2003? We usually form limited companies with your officers,your name etc. however some people are looking for companies specifically registered more than 4 years ago and we have a dormant company registered in December 2003. We will change the company name to your choice and transfer the shares over to you and provide you with the change of name certificate, the original certificate of incorporation and 2 replacement copies of the Memorandum and Articles documents for £950+VAT. Call us on 01527 970 870 for more details.

Company registration with The Company Merchant has
  • no catches
  • no hidden extras
  • no transfer or activation fees
Unlike some agents, we form your company with your details in place from the start. Some cheaper providers will have their own officers in place and require you to "activate" the company (i.e pay again) to transfer director details to yourself after you've paid your money.

Some agents rename an "off the shelf" dormant company owned by them and transfer it to you. This takes longer and leaves a messy paper trail. With our system, you are ready to trade as soon as you have received email notification that the company formation is successful.

Director appointments, terminations and registered office changes can all be filed free of charge once your limited company formation is accepted by Companies House. Your Annual Return can be filed online (required each year), and if you arent trading, you can even file a set of Dormant Accounts online as well, saving costly accountant fees for your non trading company!


Why take risks as a sole trader ?


If you are a sole trader, you and the business are THE SAME. You are personally liable for any money the business owes. This can be paid with your house, car, or personal possessions.

The reason a "Limited company" is called a limited company is that it limits the owners personal liabilities. The company is treated as a seperate legal "entity" and so it is the company that buys and sells, and not, you, the owner. As long as you have traded legally and not given personal guarantees, you are not personally liable for the company's debts.
