Company registration without the stress

We make registering your limited company as simple as possible, and manage everything with Companies House on your behalf.

Let us take care of all the confusing jargon and form-filling, and receive your certificate of incorporation as soon as it is available.

Information and support when you need it

From allocating company shares, to understanding your obligations as a director, your accountant will make sure you have everything you need to set up and run your business.

We offer a personal service, so we can help you turn your lightbulb moment into a successful new venture, without having to worry about the legalities of setting up your limited company, or how to pay yourself from it.

FAQs

What steps do I need to take before setting up my limited company?

You’ll need to choose a company name to register at Companies House, as well as appoint any other directors. It's also useful to consider the company's share structure, and who else might be a shareholder.

Read our guide to incorporating a limited company.

What information do I need to provide when starting a limited company?

You'll need to provide the personal details of any directors and shareholders involved in the business, including their name and a contact address. Limited companies also need to provide a registered office address, and select the correct SIC code which describes the company's activities.

When should I register for Corporation Tax?

You can choose to register for Corporation Tax with HMRC automatically when you register the business at Companies House, but some people prefer to wait and register at a later date. You must register for Corporation Tax within 3 months of starting to trade.

Learn more in our guide to Corporation Tax.

When will I receive my company registration?

Your certificate of incorporation will include your new Company Registration Number. Everything will normally be set up within 24 hours.

How much does it cost to register a limited company?

Companies House charge a £50 registration fee, which you can pay by either debit or credit card. If you're a client with The Accountancy Partnership, we'll take care of this for you as part of your accounting services.

Can I run a limited company by myself with no other shareholders or directors?

Yes, although a limited company needs at least one shareholder, who can also be a director. If you’re the sole shareholder, you’ll own 100% of the company.

Do I need an accountant to set up a limited company?

There’s no legal obligation to hire an accountant, but it can be beneficial to have an expert on hand who can make sure your business is legally compliant. We offer unlimited support from your own assigned accountant, to help you get things started.

You're in good hands

Our accountants have a wide range of qualifications and accreditations from trusted professional bodies such as the AAT, ICPA, and ACCA.

We charge a monthly fee based on your business type

Yes, submit my quote
No, let me change it

Please contact our sales team if you’re unsure

VAT Returns

It is unlikely you will need this service, unless you are voluntarily registered for VAT.

Are you sure this is correct?

Yes, the business is VAT registered
No, let me change it
