Fully Inclusive Package

This package includes three central London address services - all have different purposes, as follows:

1. Registered Office Service: A UK registered office address is required to register a limited company or LLP in the UK, and all registered companies must have one at all times. It is the company's official address for receiving government mail, notices and reminders. This address is displayed on the public record at Companies House and so many people prefer not to use their residential address for this purpose.
2. Service Address: This is required by every UK company director, PSC, company secretary and LLP member, and is used to receive government mail from Companies House and HMRC, addressed to the individuals regarding company matters. It is also available publicly as part of the company register at Companies House.
3. Business Address Service: Unlike the other two addresses, a business address is not required to register a UK company or LLP. This service provides a prestigious Central London business location where general business correspondence is sent. Its purpose is to enhance the corporate image of a business and can be displayed on a company's website, letterheads, business cards and more.

Registered office and service address mail is forwarded free of charge by email or Royal Mail post. Business address mail is forwarded by scan and email at the cost of 50p per item. Any items of value will be forwarded by post to an address of your choice. This is charged at the Royal Mail postal rates plus a 15% handling fee.

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 conduct electronic checks using the information supplied in the online company application.

Where we are unable to verify ID via our electronic checks, we will supply an easy to use App which will allow the supply of certified proof ID and Address using a smartphone. This App is supplied free of charge.

As soon as your company has been registered at Companies House, we will email you the certificate of incorporation, memorandum & articles of association, share certificates, company registers, and your company’s Webfiling authentication code.

Immediately upon incorporation of your new limited company, we will send you an email which will include your digital company documents and also a voucher code and instructions on how to redeem and set up your free domain name.

UK customers

As soon as your company is formed, you will receive an email with instructions on how to open your account. Our banking partners, such as Barclays, NatWest, Tide, and Monzo will ask you to complete a short application form.

You will then receive your account number and sort code within minutes; however, some banks may take up to 5 days. If your bank account includes a business debit card, you should receive this within 3 to 5 days of opening your account. Account openings are subject to approval.

International customers

For non-UK residents, we can provide a referral to a WorldFirst business banking account, which will provide you with a UK bank account number and sort code. You can add this to your order at the end of the application form. Account openings are subject to approval.

A business does not need to register for VAT until its annual taxable turnover exceeds £90,000; however, many companies choose to register voluntarily, long before their turnover hits the VAT registration threshold, for a number of commercial reasons, e.g. to reclaim 'input tax', enhance the company's image, and to access more business opportunities.

The VAT Registration Service included in this package can be used at any time during the life of the company - the choice of when to register for VAT is yours.

You must register for Pay As You Earn if your company will be employing other people, or if any directors in the company will be taking a salary.

The PAYE Registration Service included in this package can be used at any time during the life of the company.

An experienced member of our Company Secretarial Team will prepare and file your annual confirmation statement at the end of the 12 month 'confirmation statement period.' The due date of a company's first confirmation statement is the anniversary of the incorporation, i.e. the date the company was registered.

The 3 address services, Registered Office, Service Address and Business Address can be renewed annually at the cost of £39.00, £26.00 and £96.00 respectively. The Full Company Secretary Service can be renewed annually at a cost of £149.99. All prices are subject to VAT at 20%.
