Company Incorporation & Registered Office

In most cases, a standard incorporation through Companies House is completed within 24 to 48 hours once all documentation has been submitted. If you need same-day incorporation, we can arrange this for an additional fee. More complex structures involving multiple share classes or bespoke articles may take slightly longer to prepare before submission.

Every UK limited company is legally required to have a registered office address. This is the official address held at Companies House where statutory correspondence and legal notices are sent. Using a professional registered office service means you do not need to use a personal home address, which helps maintain privacy and presents a more professional image to clients and partners.

Yes. We regularly assist businesses that need to update their share structure, appoint or remove directors, amend their articles of association, or change their registered office. These changes require specific filings with Companies House, and our company secretarial team ensures every amendment is documented and submitted correctly.

You will receive a certificate of incorporation, your company number, a copy of the memorandum and articles of association, share certificates, and your statutory registers. We also provide confirmation of your registered office designation and details of your initial confirmation statement filing date. Everything is organised so you can begin trading and open business bank accounts immediately.

Yes. We register your new company with HMRC for Corporation Tax as part of the incorporation process. If you also need VAT registration or PAYE setup, we can arrange this alongside your formation. This ensures your tax obligations are in place from the start, avoiding delays or penalties once the company begins trading.

Once incorporated, a company must file an annual confirmation statement with Companies House, submit annual accounts, maintain statutory registers, and keep its PSC register up to date. Corporation Tax returns must also be filed with HMRC each year. Our corporate administration service can manage these filings on your behalf so nothing is missed.

Absolutely. We routinely incorporate companies with multiple directors, different share classes, and complex shareholder arrangements. We ensure that each appointment is properly documented, that share allocations are correctly recorded, and that your articles of association reflect the agreed governance structure. For businesses requiring specific governance policies and procedures, we can advise on what should be in place from the outset.

Directors are required to provide a service address for the public register, but this does not have to be your home address. By using our registered office and service address facilities, you can keep your residential address off the public register while remaining fully compliant with Companies House requirements. This is a common arrangement for directors who value personal privacy.
