The world of company formation can seem like a daunting place, especially if you’ve never set up a company before. However, the terminology, legal requirements, and registration process are easy to get to grips with if you use a company formation agent. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before we take a look at the benefits a company formation agent can provide to limited company owners, let’s take a moment to explain just what they do.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a company formation agent?<\/h3>\n

A company formation agent is an independent business that forms companies on behalf of other people. These agents provide easy incorporation services that enable people to set up various types of company structures entirely online. They also offer professional expert advice, assist their clients throughout the company formation process, and provide additional corporate services and ongoing support to company owners.<\/p>\n

Legitimate formation agents in the UK are authorised to incorporate (register) companies electronically with Companies House – the official registrar, responsible for approving company incorporations in the UK.<\/p>\n

The benefits of using a company formation agent<\/h3>\n

Using a company formation agent to set up a company in the UK provides a range of benefits when compared to incorporating directly at Companies House. Below, we list the main advantages of forming a company through an agent.<\/p>\n

1. Easy company formation\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Company formation agents make the incorporation process easy. They provide a simple, user-friendly online application form that takes about 5 minutes to complete. Some agents, like Quality Company Formations, also offer a service where they will set up a company for you over the telephone.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of the company formation terminology and legal requirements are clearly explained, helping you to understand the information you need to supply to form a company<\/a> and why you’re being asked to provide it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our Fully Inclusive Package - the perfect way to set up a company<\/span><\/a>\n \n

Most agents will offer a range of company formation packages to suit the needs of every client. Whether you simply want to protect a company name, form a limited by shares company, set up a company as a non-UK resident, register a non-profit limited by guarantee company, or form a limited liability partnership (LLP) – agents will most probably have a company formation package that is right for you.<\/p>\n

Once your application form is complete, it will be reviewed by a team of experts, then electronically submitted to Companies House and approved within 24 hours. This means that you can set up a limited company and start trading on the very same day.<\/p>\n
