Companies House and The Formations Company

The Formations Company is authorised by Companies House, which means that we’re able to deal with them directly to set up your company for you as quickly and efficiently as possible. We know that starting up a business can be both parts intimidating and exhilarating, and we’re here to take out the fear factor.

Every business in Britain needs to be registered by Companies House — a government body that incorporates and dissolves limited companies, as well as registering information all companies are legally obliged to supply.

You can also save if you choose to form with us, rather than registering with Companies House directly. For instance, our E-Formation package is cheaper than going straight to Companies House, and includes your Companies House filing fee, plus an Electronic Certificate of Incorporation, Electronic Memorandum and Articles of Association and a Barclays business bank account.

We know that starting up a business can be both parts intimidating and exhilarating, and we’re here to take out the fear factor.
