Premium package

When will I be able to start trading?

Your limited company should be registered with Companies House within three to six working hours after your application is submitted on our website. This will ultimately depend on the workload of Companies House on the given day, but it will take no more than 48 hours.

You will receive a notification telling you that your new company formation application has been approved. You will then receive digital copies of your company documents in a PDF format to your chosen email address. Your printed certificate of incorporation and share certificates will be sent to your address by post.

Is it possible to register the company on the same day?

If it’s vital that your company is formed on the same day, you can select our same-day formation service during checkout.

This express service guarantees same-day formation provided the application is correctly submitted before 14:00 GMT on a business day. We provide free support before, during and after the company is formed, so if you’re not sure about any part of the process, we’re here to help. With the Premium package, you’ll also benefit from a pre-submission review that ensures your application is filled in correctly before it is submitted to Companies House.

Can I set up a company on my own?

Yes, one person can form a limited company. This would be owned, managed and run by one person, who would be the sole director and shareholder of the company.

What are the annual renewal charges of the premium package?

The price of forming your limited company is a one-time cost, but some of the additional services we offer are renewable on an annual basis:

• Registered office service: £35 +VAT (for 12 months)
• Director’s address service: £12 +VAT (for 12 months per officer)
