Pack Overview
Our Starter Packs are only £52.99 and they are of exceptionally good value. No other provider offers the same level of support and efficiency for this price.
This small fee covers the Companies House charge for incorporation, and your new company will be formed in 1 working day (depending on the Companies House internal systems).
Please Note: Due to the discounted price that this package is offered at, it is only available to a single client once.
Users, Requirements and Suitability
Our Starter Pack is suitable for a wide variety of people – contractors, single shareholders, directors, companies, anyone who wishes to establish a dormant company and individuals who wish to register and secure a company name. Your company should be incorporated and able to trade within 1 working day. As soon as Companies House has approved the application, we will email you a copy of the official certificate of incorporation, share certificates and memorandum along with articles of association (the constitution of the company). Contractors should note that an emailed certificate of incorporation normally meets the requirements of an employment agency dealing with the PAYE issue.
You can also take advantage of our free bank referral. This is the first stage of an application to one of our bank affiliates. If your application is successful, then you will have everything you need as a start-up business owner or contractor.
Upgrade Option
If you have more than 1 shareholder, you may want to issue share certificates. If this is the case, you should consider upgrading your application Printed.
It is important to note that every company needs an official address. You can use your home address for this purpose, but if you are renting your office, you may need to check with your landlord. By registering your home address as your office, you will be publicly listing it as your company’s address via the Companies House website. The security risks are obvious and many of our clients wish to safeguard their privacy. So we offer a Registered Office Service to help ensure confidentiality and discretion. This being the case, you may wish to upgrade your choice to the privacy pack, which also provides printed documentation.
Pricing and Value for Money
At £52.99, we truly believe that we offer one of the lowest prices for company formation in the UK market. This pack provides everything a company needs to start trading, except an official address.
Major banks in UK do not need hard copies of the certificate of incorporation or any other company documents if there is only 1 shareholder/director. Instead, these banks verify your information with Companies House, and if there are no problems, they register and open a bank account for your company.
We provide all our clients with a free administration portal, which you can use to easily and efficiently update your statutory records at Companies House. We also offer you free support for the portal for the entire lifetime of the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to form a company?
Just most formation agents, we use a third-party software system that links our orders directly to Companies House. Once your order is placed, it is automatically forwarded to Companies House. The time taken is entirely dependent on Companies House’s workload. Companies House will normally complete your application within 1 working day. In unusual circumstances, Companies House systems can be interrupted and take more than a day to resolve, but this is very rare.
Do I need to specify what my business is or the objectives of the company?
There is no requirement to specify the objectives of your company or the nature of your trade in the articles of association (constitution) of the company. But you will be asked to provide a SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) code when you make your application. A drop-down list of all the available classifications is available at the appropriate juncture in the application. You only need to select one code, and it should be the code that is the most accurate. It is very rare to find an exact SIC match, so use the best match you can find in the drop-down list.
What are the charges?
There is a selection of packages that are more expensive and there are extra services you can buy. We charge for all the extras, but they are entirely optional, and you are not obliged to buy them. All our prices are clearly stated.
Our standard price for the basic package of £52.99+VAT.
How many people do I need to form a company?
You need a shareholder and a director. The shareholder and the director can be the same person; so a company can be formed with just 1 person. Shareholders are the owners of the company while the directors are the people responsible for managing a company. The director must be at least 16 years of age.
What documents are required to create a company?
You do not need any documents to form a company, and the entire process is online. Our systems generate and submit forms IN01 and the Memorandum and articles of association on your behalf when you complete your order.
What company name can I use?
Subject to specific rules, you can use any company name, provided it does not already exist or resembles another company name on the Companies House Register. Our name search box is linked to Companies House and will advise you if your proposed name is available. For more information about company names, go to our names link.
What happens after I have placed my order?
Once your order is placed, you will receive an automated email acknowledgment of the order. In the meantime, Companies House will process your application. Once the company is formed, you will be notified by email and you will also receive PDF copies of your certificate of incorporation, share certificates and Memorandum and articles of association. Please check your email filters to ensure that you are notified when the email arrives. You will also have a portal that you can access to make changes to your company as and when you require. Your web authentication code is saved in the portal so that your changes can be automatically updated at Companies House.
When can I start trading?
You can start trading as soon as your company has been formed. Our system automatically sends you a PDF of your certificate of incorporation. Once you have the certificate, you know your company exists. The instant your company is formed, it has the legal capacity to enter into agreements.
