Limited Company Formation

Through our sister company, The Company Wizard, we provide a fast and convenient online service for registering a new UK Limited company. The application saves your progress automatically, so you can complete it at your own pace. If you’d like to prepare in advance, here’s an overview of the information you’ll need.

Forming a UK company is straightforward. You can complete the application in as little as 15 minutes, and in most cases, you’ll receive your certificate of incorporation within 3–6 working hours. The process is fully online, and all entered information is securely stored as you go.

You will need to supply the following information:

A unique company name
A UK address for your registered office (A London based regsitered office is available for non-UK residents or those wishing to protect their personal address)
At least one individual to act as director and shareholder
Completion of ID verification for each director, shareholder and Persons with Significant Control (PSC).

For each individual appointed to the company you will also need to supply the following:

Full name
Date of birth
Nationality
A service address (Where Companies House will send any letters).
A residential address (Hidden from the public record)
Number and value of issued shares (for a single member company that can be just one share valued at £1.00)
A verification code following ID verification of each member

Limited by Guarantee Companies

If you are incorporating a company limited by guarantee, you will not need to provide share capital or shareholder details. These companies have members instead of shareholders.

You will, however, need to provide at least one company object, a brief statement describing the company’s mission or purpose. This can be a single sentence or a short paragraph, and you may include one or more objects. These will be included in the company’s Articles of Association.
