\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \nMonday mornings are often quite busy due to the backlog of company registration applications received over the weekend, which is worth bearing in mind. In any case, most incorporations are approved on the same day.<\/p>\n
Why would company formation be delayed or rejected?<\/h2>\n
It is often the smallest of errors and oversights that delay company formation or cause Companies House to reject an application. However, due to built-in checks, the online application form greatly minimises the risk of making mistakes.<\/p>\n
The most common culprits of delayed or rejected company registration include:<\/p>\n
\n- Proposed company name<\/a> is already taken, or it is too similar to an existing name on the register<\/li>\n
- Proposed company name contains a \u2018sensitive\u2019 word<\/li>\n
- Providing initials, rather than full forenames, of the individuals listed on the application<\/li>\n
- Essential information is missing from the application<\/li>\n
- Failing to provide registered office details, or listing a registered office that is not in the same country as company formation<\/li>\n
- Misspelling an individual\u2019s nationality<\/li>\n
- Stating an individual\u2019s ethnicity, rather than nationality<\/li>\n
- Wrong articles of association<\/a><\/li>\n
- Director is under the age of 16<\/li>\n
- Director is a disqualified bankrupt<\/li>\n
- Appointing a corporate body as the sole director<\/li>\n
- Appointing a disqualified director<\/li>\n
- Incorrect share structure<\/li>\n
- Providing incorrect date of birth and\/or residential address and so causing the electronic anti-money laundering (AML) to fail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
