Company Formation and Company Registration Services
What are your options?

If you are looking for a value added service, with a quick, simple and inexpensive limited company formation solution, trusted by accountants, formation agents and people in a similar position as yourself all over the UK, then click no further.

Companies House in Cardiff are the centralised registry for the UK companies register. They hold all records and have to approve all requests. Paper based requests usually have a turnround of about 7 to 10 days. You can benefit from our computer connections to Companies House by using the ultra fast company formation online service. The company formation request is acknowledged by Companies House within minutes of it being sent and the timescale is then simply a case of how many are on the list in front of you. Over 1,000 companies are formed every day and usually the response time is around 3 to 4 hours although it can be under an hour!

When comparing this with the other option of an "off the shelf" company - when a company has already been registered and you wait for the company name to be changed, and the shareholders, directors and secretary to be changed, you can see why so many people now opt for electronic company formation services.

 

Certificate Printing £3.99+VAT (£4.69)

Most banks still request to see a certificate of incorporation when you try to open a bank account. In order to comply with Companies House Guidelines, this needs to be printed onto 160 gsm Ivory card.

To save you the time purchasing a small pack of suitable weight Ivory card and locating a good quality laser printer, this is an optional service that we offer to you at £3.99+VAT.

Because of the bank requirements, this is an optional service that we highly recommend you take up unless you have access to a laser printer. To the right is an example of a certificate from Companies House.

 



 
Company Registers from £19.99+VAT (£23.49)

A lightweight and portable handheld embossing press. Manufactured from mild steel and powder coated to give an attractive damage resistant finish. They are supplied in a neat PVC wallet to prevent damage and to aid with easy storage.

Share Certificates put down in writing how many shares a shareholder has in your company. It is signed by the Director(s) and Company Secretary as being a record of share ownership for the shareholder.
