Which package to pick

Choose Digital for a plain registration, Privacy to keep your home address off the register, or Fully Inclusive for filing and a virtual office.

Digital at £2.48 suits anyone who only needs the company registered. It includes a free online company manager, a free .co.uk domain for the first year and bank account cashback of up to £55.

Privacy at £17.48 keeps your home address off the public register. It adds a London EC1 registered office address and a director service address, which covers one director.

Fully Inclusive at £44.48 suits anyone who wants help with filing and post. It adds a 12-month filing service, a London virtual office with mail forwarding and a VAT registration service. A virtual office gives you a business address, and your post is forwarded to you.

What it really costs

Forming a UK limited company costs the package price plus a £100 Companies House fee. Package prices exclude VAT, so add VAT on top.

Fully Inclusive includes a 12-month filing service that renews at £128 a year. Budget for that renewal when the first year ends. Compare the full price on Your Company Formations' page before you buy.

Form a company in four steps

Forming a limited company takes four steps, and a formation agent files the registration for you.

  1. Pick a package. Choose Digital for a plain registration, or Privacy to keep your home address off the public register.
  2. Choose a name and address. Pick a company name and a registered office address, the official address shown on Companies House.
  3. Add directors and shareholders. Enter the details of each director and shareholder.
  4. Submit and receive your certificate. Your agent files the registration with Companies House. Then you receive your certificate of incorporation.
