With this package, you will be forming a private company limited by guarantee that is appropriate for a charitable company.
Please note: This package does not include registration with the Charity Commission, which you will need to arrange separately.
A charity company needs a minimum of one director, one guarantor and one person with significant control (PSC). These roles can all be taken by one person or they can be shared amongst multiple people (although a guarantor is typically also a PSC).
We will provide you with a version of Model Charity Articles. You can either adopt these wholly, edit them to suit your needs (and add your own objects) or upload your own Articles of Association.
We recommend all clients who want charity status for their company, to follow the Charity Commission's guidance on how to draft charitable objects.
No. By editing the Articles of Association that we provide or by using your own Articles of Association, you can add the necessary objects required to be exempt from using ‘Limited’ or ‘Ltd’.
There is a step in the company application process that provides you with the facility to upload your bespoke Articles of Association document.
Yes absolutely. Please call our Customer Service Team on 020 3908 0044 and one of our company experts will process your company formation order with you by telephone.
It will take you no more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete the online company application form on our website. Companies House will then usually take up to 24 hours to approve your new company registration. Please note this is subject to Companies House workload on the day and it can take longer.
If it is very important your company is incorporated as soon as possible, we would recommend you add the Guaranteed Same-Day Service to your order.
A SIC code or Standard Industrial Classification code is used to categorise a company's business activity. To register a limited company or LLP you must choose at least one SIC code, although you can choose up to four. Do not worry if you do not know the SIC code relevant to your business activity, Quality Company Formations provide a simple SIC code search tool where you can choose your SIC code or codes.
As soon as your new company has been registered at Companies House, we will send you an order fulfilled email. Within this email you will receive a voucher code and instructions on how to set up your new domain name.
All company formation agents have a legal obligation to check Proof of ID and Address; however, most customers do not need to do anything, as we carry out digital checks using the information supplied in your online company application form.
Those customers who require to provide ID can do so in a matter of minutes using their mobile phone and a simple App which we will provide. This App is supplied free of charge.
It is a simple process to close a limited company. Quality Company Formations offer a Company Dissolution Service at a cost of £89.99 + VAT. This cost includes the Companies House fee, filing the DS01 form and providing the Board Resolution to approve the dissolution of the company.
We provide a free check of all new company registration orders for omissions and errors
- greatly reducing the chances of rejection by Companies House.
Our checking process reduces the average rejection rate of UK company applications, from 10% to just 1%
We are able to fix typos and errors before they appear on the finished company documents.
QCF review our clients' company applications, and handle the rejections free of charge.
