Company Formation

A company formation agent is an independent company that helps new businesses incorporate (register) their companies. This can be done quickly, easily, and affordably through an online process. Legitimate formation agents in the UK are authorized to register companies electronically with Companies House, the official registrar of companies in the UK.

To use an approved online company formation agent, you will need to complete an application form online and submit it electronically to the registrar. Most applications are approved by Companies House in as little as 3-6 working hours, which means you can set up a limited company and start trading on the very same day.
