COMPANY FORMATION

COMPANY REGISTRATION

Registration of a company name, company formation or company incorporation are different names for the same thing: the company becomes a legal entity separate from its owners - the shareholders. A company incorporation project can be easily handled by a company formation agent.

For electronic registration, the registration fee is lower and more importantly no solicitor needs to swear a statutory declaration (Form12). According to companies house 90% of all incorporations are completed electronically.

You register a company by delivering the following documents to companies house, obtain name approval and paying the registering fee:

Memorandum of association

Articles of Association

Form 10 - residential address of the first directors, secretary and intended place of the registered office

Electronic incorporations are possible through an authorised company formation agent. Currently there are more than 60 company formation agents authorised for electronic incorporations.  The electronic incorporation save a lot of time and in our view compares best to same day incorporation service which otherwise would cost £ 50.00.

Many accountants use limited company formation agents because they are cheaper and specialists in this area.

Certificate of incorporation

The certificate of incorporation is issued by companies house and the paper version needs to be printed on specific, expensive paper. Because most banks will require the printed version we include this in all our company formation solutions free of charge, where other company formation agents will charge typically £10.00-£15.00. 

Share Certificates

You are required to issue share certificates to shareholders within two months after incorporation. When you form the company with GoldOne® then you receive these free of charge as part of the incorporation. This saves you buying them at a legal stationary or paying for it in case your agent does supply them separately. It is quite common for other companies to charge £10.00 - £20.00 for a single certificate. As far as we know we are the only company formation agent which issues the share certificates with a unique number hologram so that you can verify the authenticity of the certificate.
