But if you&#8217;re starting a limited company, there&#8217;s even more to consider. If you\u2019re registering your company, you&#8217;ll come across the phrase &#8220;date of incorporation&#8221; or &#8220;incorporation date&#8221; a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Companies House, over <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/companieshouse.blog.gov.uk\/about-companies-house\/#:~:text=There%20are%20more%20than%204,companies%20are%20incorporated%20each%20year.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">500 thousand companies register and incorporate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> every year. Companies House provides every limited company that registers with an incorporation date. You may be wondering what date of incorporation means and if there\u2019s anything you need to know about it to run your business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you get your business off the ground, we&#8217;ve put together this complete guide to your incorporation date. It explains what date of incorporation means, how it affects your business and key dates following incorporation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What does date of incorporation mean?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A limited company&#8217;s incorporation date is the date it&#8217;s registered with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/companies-house\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies House<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. After registration, Companies House adds your business to their register. Once registered, companies in the UK become separate legal entities to the business&#8217;s directors and members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that, from the date of incorporation, the limited company is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Able to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintformations.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-register-a-company-to-buy-a-property-an-easy-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">buy property in the business&#8217;s name<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responsible for all debts and liabilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When can a company start trading after the incorporation date?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as a company registers and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintformations.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-incorporation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incorporates with Companies House<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it can start trading. So once your business is a legitimate limited company, you\u2019re ready to go and can start making your new business a success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But some businesses choose not to start trading immediately. During registration, it&#8217;s possible to register a company&#8217;s trading status as &#8220;dormant&#8221; or inactive. This is usually for Corporation Tax purposes. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintformations.co.uk\/blog\/what-is-dormant-company\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">business can be &#8220;dormant&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for an indefinite amount of time following incorporation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an excellent option for new businesses that may currently be operating as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintformations.co.uk\/company-formation\/sole-trader\/registration\/\">sole traders<\/a>. It allows you to protect a company name so that when your business is ready for incorporation, you can start with your business name of choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Where to find your date of incorporation<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you incorporate your business, it\u2019s easy to find your incorporation date if you misplace it. One of the easiest places to find it is on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/get-information-about-a-company\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">public register of businesses online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is free to access. Alongside your business&#8217;s date of incorporation, the register also lists other details, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company registration number<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintformations.co.uk\/services\/london-business-address\/registered-office\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registered office address<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Names and details of directors, secretaries and people with significant control<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annual accounts, charges and insolvency information<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certificate of incorporation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The certificate of incorporation is an important document, and you should do all you can to keep it safe.

These dates will be significant, and understanding them from the outset will help you keep on top of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accounting reference date (ARD) \u2014 Limited companies have to file their annual accounts once a year.

Some companies choose to have a specific date of incorporation to align with their internal financial calendar. Businesses do this so that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mintformations.co.uk\/blog\/need-know-annual-confirmation-statement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">filing annual accounts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is something you would like to do for your business, you must decide before registering.
