Ready-To-Trade Company
Registered Office Service
VAT & PAYE Registration
Business Mail Scanning Service
Forming the company is only the beginning.
A new company may also need a registered office, directors' service addresses, VAT registration, PAYE registration and mail handling.
Our Fully Inclusive Package brings these services together so that you can start your company with much of the initial administration already organised.
That leaves you free to concentrate on getting your new business up and running.
We form your company, provide our Central London address services, arrange your VAT and PAYE registrations where required, provide business and official mail scanning service.
We form your new private limited company and pay the £100 Companies House incorporation fee as part of the package price.
Once incorporated, your company is ready to begin business, subject of course to any registrations, licences or other requirements applying to its particular activities.
You receive:
Every UK company must have an appropriate registered office address.
For the first 12 months, your company can use our Central London address:
27 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AX
This keeps your home address from appearing as your company's registered office address on the public Companies House register.
Official company post received from organisations such as Companies House and HMRC is scanned and made available to you electronically through our secure document system.
The package also includes use of our London address as the Companies House service address for all company officers for the first 12 months.
This means directors do not need to use their residential address as their publicly displayed correspondence address at Companies House.
Directors must still provide Companies House with their residential address where legally required, but it is not normally displayed on the public register.
The Fully Inclusive Package goes further than simply dealing with statutory post.
It also includes our Business Mail Scanning Service for the first 12 months.
This allows your company to use our London address for ordinary business correspondence as well as its official registered-office correspondence.
Business post received for your company is scanned and made available electronically, allowing you to access it wherever you are.
We arrange your VAT registration where your company is eligible
VAT registration can become necessary as your business grows, or a company may choose to register voluntarily where it is eligible to do so.
The Fully Inclusive Package includes our VAT registration service.
Where your company is eligible, we obtain the information required from you and prepare and submit the VAT registration application to HMRC. Once HMRC has approved the application, your company will have its VAT registration number and can operate its VAT affairs accordingly.
Please note:VAT registration is not automatic and not every company is required or eligible to register. In particular, a company generally needs to be making, or intending to make, taxable supplies before it can register. HMRC makes the registration decision and may request further information. Where your company is not yet eligible, we will hold this service open and submit the application once it becomes appropriate.
Ready to employ people or pay directors through PAYE?
If your company needs to operate PAYE, it must first be registered with HMRC as an employer.
The Fully Inclusive Package includes our PAYE registration service.
We register your company as an employer when it is ready to pay employees or directors — HMRC expects registration close to your first payday rather than months in advance, because registering an employer scheme starts your obligation to make regular payroll submissions. When you are ready, we obtain the information HMRC requires and submit the employer registration. HMRC then issues the company's PAYE references so that payroll can be operated.
This package includes PAYE registration, not an ongoing payroll-processing service.
Your company also receives access to our online Company Administration Portal.
This provides a convenient central location for your company information and formation documents and helps you manage the company after incorporation.
Together with our mail-scanning facilities, it means that important company documentation can be accessed online wherever you are.
The package is designed for customers who want more than the basic incorporation of a company.
The Fully Inclusive Package is available to UK-resident customers only. If you are resident outside the UK, our International Package is designed for you and reflects the additional work required for non-UK residents.
It is particularly suitable if you want:

You can cancel, or update your card details, at any time before the renewal date.
