UK Limited Company Formation
Forming a limited company in the UK involves several key steps. First, choose a unique company name and ensure it complies with naming regulations. Decide on the company structure, including directors and shareholders, and provide a registered office address in the UK.
Prepare the necessary documents, such as the Memorandum and Articles of Association. Register the company with Companies House, either online for a quicker process or by post. After incorporation, register for Corporation Tax with HMRC, and consider VAT registration if applicable. Ensure compliance with PAYE if employing staff, and maintain accurate records.
Additionally, open a business bank account, obtain necessary insurances, and consider trademark protection for your brand. Resources like the Companies House and HMRC websites offer detailed guidance, and consulting a professional advisor can be beneficial.

UK Company Formation FAQ's
We will normally register your new company within three to six hours of you submitting your online application via our website. However, registering a company name within this timeframe does depend on how busy Companies House is on that day. For those who need to register a limited company urgently, we offer a guaranteed same-day formation service (orders should be submitted before 14:00 GMT on any business day). You will receive all the official paperwork in your email inbox as soon as your company is registered at Companies House.
When setting up and registering a new business, you need to choose a unique company name to provide Companies House. You will also need to provide the full name, email address, residential address or business address, date of birth, nationality, business occupation, telephone number, town of birth and eye colour of each director/shareholder to form and register a UK limited company. If you don’t have a business address you can use, our virtual address services can provide all you need to acquire a legally registered office.
Once your company formation application is submitted, an email invitation will be sent from Credas (our third party partner) to complete your ID verification online. In order to complete your ID verification online, you will need to upload 1 or 2 ID documents and 1 Address proof document along with your selfie photograph. The uploaded documents will be reviewed and you will be reached for any additional information, if required.
If you are registering a new private limited company, you must choose a unique name for your business. To register a company name, you must make sure the name ends with either “Limited” or “Ltd” or the Welsh equivalents (“Cyfyngedig” or “Cyf”). Your company name cannot be the same (or similar) to another registered company’s name.
