Private Limited (Ltd) Company Formation & Registration Services

A ready-to-trade limited company is a legal entity that has been fully incorporated with Companies House and is eligible to begin commercial activities immediately. Under the Companies Act 2006, this means your business has its own legal personality, separate from its directors and shareholders, allowing you to enter into contracts and own assets in the company name.

Form My Company ensures that your formation is handled with precision so you can start invoicing clients or signing leases the moment you receive your digital documents. You receive the peace of mind that your business structure is legally sound, protecting your personal assets from company debts from day one.

Bank Accounts with  Cash Back

A business bank account is a regulatory necessity for any limited company to keep corporate finances distinct from personal funds. Through our partnerships with major UK high-street and digital banks, we facilitate a streamlined application process that bypasses much of the traditional bureaucratic friction associated with new business banking.

You receive an introduction to a leading banking provider and, upon successful account opening and meeting specific criteria, eligibility for up to £155 in cashback. This provides your new venture with immediate working capital while ensuring you have the infrastructure to accept payments and manage company expenses professionally.

Limited Company Included

The inclusion of the limited company itself refers to the fundamental process of registration with the Registrar of Companies. This involves the submission of Form IN01, which details the company name, registered office, directors, and share capital, officially bringing your business into existence as a registered UK entity.

By choosing this package, you are securing the actual “shell” of your business, ensuring that your chosen name is protected and officially recorded. Form My Company handles the technical filing, so you don’t have to navigate the complexities of the Companies House portal alone.

Fastest Online Filing Submission

Filing submission is the digital transfer of your company data to the Companies House mainframe via a secure Electronic Software Filing (ESF) link. As an authorised agent, we use a direct gateway that prioritises your application, moving it into the queue significantly faster than paper-based applications or standard public web-filing routes.

This means your business registration is processed with the highest level of urgency allowed by the government. You receive the fastest possible turnaround, often seeing your company appear on the public register in just a few hours, allowing you to move forward with your launch plans without delay.

Premium 12 Month Company Filing Service

The Premium 12 Month Company Filing Service is a proactive management feature designed to handle your mandatory annual administrative duties. This includes the preparation and submission of your Confirmation Statement (formerly the Annual Return), which is a legal requirement to ensure the information held on the public register is accurate and up to date.

You receive a dedicated service that monitors your filing deadlines for a full year, valued at over £200. If you ever need to file a Confirmation Statement outside of this package, we offer it as a standalone service, but here it is included to solve the risk of late filing penalties.

VAT Registration

VAT (Value Added Tax) registration is the process of notifying HMRC that your business needs to be part of the VAT system, which is mandatory if your turnover exceeds the current threshold of £90,000. Voluntary registration is also common for new companies that wish to reclaim VAT on business expenses or present a more established image to corporate clients.

We handle the application on your behalf, navigating the detailed HMRC questionnaires to ensure your VAT number is issued correctly. You receive VAT registration assistance that ensures you are fully tax-compliant from the start, enabling you to charge VAT on your services and recover tax paid on your initial business setup costs.

Trading Address, Bolton BL1

A trading address is a professional location used for general business correspondence, appearing on your website, invoices, and marketing materials. It differs from the registered office in that it is specifically marketed as your place of business, helping to establish a local presence in a recognised commercial area of Bolton.

By using our Bolton BL1 address, you receive a professional business address that keeps your residential address off your public-facing business collateral. This solves the privacy concerns many home-based entrepreneurs face while giving your brand the credibility of an established office location.

Registered Address, Bolton BL1

The registered office address is the official, legally required location for a company to receive formal correspondence from government bodies like Companies House and HMRC. According to UK law, this address must be displayed on the public register and is where legal notices are served.

Form My Company provides this Bolton-based address to protect your personal privacy, ensuring your home address does not appear on the public record. You receive a prestigious BL1 location as part of your virtual offices setup, which handles all official government mail and keeps your business compliant.

Directors Address, Bolton BL1

A Director’s Service Address is the official contact address for an individual director, which is kept on the public record at Companies House. Similar to the registered office, this address is where the director receives personal correspondence from the government regarding their role and responsibilities.

By using our professional address in Bolton, you ensure that your private residential details are not accessible to the general public or credit reference agencies. This service is a standard part of our company services to provide a layer of security and professional distance between your residence and your corporate identity.

Printed Share Certificates

Share certificates are the legal evidence of ownership in a limited company, issued to each shareholder to confirm the number and class of shares they hold. While digital records are maintained, physical certificates are often required for formal banking, investment rounds, or legal audits.

You receive high-quality, printed certificates that serve as a tangible record of your company’s ownership structure. These documents are included in our company pack and are essential for your corporate records, providing a professional impression when presenting credentials to investors.

Printed Certificate of Incorporation

The Certificate of Incorporation is effectively the “birth certificate” of your business, issued by the Registrar of Companies once the formation is approved. It displays your unique Company Number, the date of incorporation, and the legal jurisdiction (England and Wales).

Form My Company provides a physical, high-resolution printed copy of this certificate. This document is often required in its original format when opening traditional bank accounts or if you eventually need apostilled documents for international trade.

Digital Incorporation Certificate

A digital incorporation certificate is an electronic version (PDF) of your official formation document, bearing the digital seal of the Registrar of Companies. It is the primary proof that your company exists and has been registered under the Companies Act 2006.

You receive this document via email the moment your company is approved, allowing you to instantly share it with banks, accountants, or solicitors. This solves the need for immediate documentation, ensuring you don’t have to wait for the post to arrive before you can start business admin.

Digital Articles of Association

The Articles of Association are the constitutional rules of your company, governing how it is managed and the relationship between directors and shareholders. These are mandatory documents that define the power of the board and the rights of the members.

Form My Company provides a digital copy of these articles, professionally drafted to ensure your company operates within the standard legal framework. You receive a clear set of guidelines that protect your interests and ensure your business is governed correctly from the outset.

Digital Share Certificates

Digital share certificates are electronic records of share ownership that mirror the information provided in the physical versions. They are a modern, easily shareable way to prove who owns what portion of the company in a format that cannot be physically lost or damaged.

You receive these files instantly upon incorporation, providing an immediate digital audit trail of your company’s equity. They are particularly useful for quick distribution to shareholders who may be located in different parts of the country or the world.

Digital Company Register

A Company Register is a statutory requirement comprising various ledgers, including the Register of Members, Register of Directors, and Register of Charges. UK law dictates that every limited company must maintain these records to show a clear history of its internal structure.

We provide a comprehensive digital register that centralises all this information in an easy-to-manage format. You receive a compliant set of records as part of our company secretarial support, ready for inspection should HMRC or Companies House ever request to see your statutory books.

Free Accountancy Consultation

An accountancy consultation is a professional session with a qualified accountant to discuss your tax obligations, bookkeeping requirements, and payroll setup. For a new limited company, understanding the nuances of Corporation Tax and director dividends is vital for financial health.

You receive a no-obligation consultation to help you navigate the first steps of business finance. This helps determine if you need further PAYE registration assistance or specialized bookkeeping, ensuring you have a clear plan for managing your company’s money.

HMRC UTR Number

The Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) is a ten-digit code issued by HMRC to identify your company for tax purposes. It is automatically generated once the company is registered, but the process of receiving and recording it is a critical step in becoming tax-compliant.

Form My Company assists in ensuring the transition to HMRC is handled correctly so your UTR is issued without delay. You receive the identifier necessary for filing your annual Corporation Tax returns, keeping your business in good standing with the authorities.

Web Authentication Code

A Web Authentication Code is a six-character alphanumeric code used to “sign” documents filed online with Companies House. It acts as the digital equivalent of a director’s signature and is required to make any changes to your company’s details on the public register.

We provide this code as part of your formation package, giving you the keys to your company’s digital filing portal. This allows you to update your company’s information, such as making a director appointment or resignation, securely and instantly from your own computer.
