What is Company Formation?
Company Formation is the process of registering a new limited company at Companies House: choosing the name, appointing directors, issuing shares and setting the registered office.
The decisions made at this point matter later. Share structure affects how profits can be split, and registering for the wrong taxes at the wrong time creates avoidable admin.
We handle the incorporation, advise on structure and get you registered for what you actually need — nothing you do not.
Common situations where Company Formation is needed.
New businesses
Anyone starting out and choosing a limited company structure.
Sole traders incorporating
Where the tax and risk position now favours a company.
Business partners
Two or more people needing a clear shareholding split.
Contractors
Moving from umbrella arrangements to their own company.
Property investors
Setting up a company to hold or develop property.
Second ventures
Existing owners launching a separate trading company.
Exactly what we handle for you.
Scope is confirmed in writing before we start, so you always know what is covered.
