I need a cheap Company Formation/Registration

[cakeboy]

Hi All

As the title says I need a cheap Company Formation/Registration company please.

Setting up a new limited company; two shareholders, 49:51 split. Reg address already sorted.

The last time I did this I used someone of UKBF but he seems to have disappeared and doesn.t reply to emails. I think I paid £35 last time.

So....... an open invitation to any UKBF member to sell me their services......:)

Try online ones.... companiesmadesimple group... etc.
I used them few years back for my company. It was pretty straightforward and cheap.

Just remember that there is a requirement to maintain statutory records for a company. Traditionally these have been kept in a combined company register and none of the cheap formation packages include one of these.

You will also need a hard copy of the certificate of incorporation and this has to be on the right type and colour of paper. Again the cheap packages only include a pdf version of this.

I have used company wizard (http://www.company-wizard.co.uk/) and companies made simple and have had no problem with either but I would not recommend using their cheapest packages.

You do not need a certificate of incorporation on any special type of paper. A pdf copy is quite adequate.

Why will a hard copy be required?

Thanks all so far

Please can you explain what you mean by this.

What :eek:? I'm not questioning you I'm just questioning 'right type of paper and colour'!!! What a load of red tape nonsense!! so 70gsm staples economy paper won't cut it ?


I see some of the online companies suggested above offer things like;

* Bound copies of Memorandum & Articles of Association
* First minutes and initial complete statutory records for company
* Share certificates for each shareholder

Are any of these legal neccessities?

UK PLC.

Have used this company for the last 7 years and no problem.

Have eveything dealt with electronically and will cost about £25 plus vat.

Interesting.....I always thought it was a requirement that the original Certificate of Incorporation was displayed at the companies Registered Office however I can only find reference to the fact that a copy of the certificate should be displayed. I don't know if anyone else would need the original (a bank perhaps?)

It still is (as far as I can see) a requirement to keep a company register which is the record of directors, shareholders, mortgage etc. Obviously this can be in any format.

and can be done in word, excel etc.

And for most small companies is something that is more honoured in the breach than in the observance!

Thanks to all that posted, not only the recommends but also the discussion points about what is/isn't needed.

After looking at all of the ones recommended I went with Companies Made Simple (thanks, Rollo :)) and their bronze package.

Glad to hear that your very first business step has been resolved.
I think you forgot to note that I was the first one to suggest you companiesmadesimple group early this morning....

Normally by using online company registration, one can save money and energy. These days the whole process has become very easy and simple. You can complete the process just by mouse click.

[yellowplum]

I used a company called formations house or if you want to go down the cheap route they have a sister website that they push called companies4less.co.uk which only charges £20

You don't require anything fancy, and you won't have a problem with the bank and a printed certificate. However I did take out the additional service this year to allow us to manage the company online with them and this cost £25 more but you can opt in and out of that. It makes life easier when changing things and they just keep it all the admin in one place and online.

Hi,

Saw the post and was pretty intrigued. Most accountants offer reasonable rates for CF but try to get you to use their accountancy services over a year to make up for the great. I went to capitaldownloads.com and bought a set of documents and filed them to CH. Bit more effort but it worked out cheaper. Not a big fan of those companies that offer business bank accounts with the formation...just feels like too much information is being held.

Typical spam post....you own the site you are recommending!

[ARKHIbuild]

Hi, I am trying to set up two new companies asap could someone please clarify what is requires by law in terms of documentation?

Therefore which package on all the company formation website I require as a minimum?

Why are there so many different packages? I am confused to say the least

My requirement is two company formations with the minimum legal documentation required by law at the best possible cost?

I will require a bank account and keep reading that this requires curtain paperwork

Can people offer there advise

thanks

[Andrew @ PLA]

Are you looking for somebody to create these for you or looking for some general advise before proceeding with this yourself?

If you want the cheapest option you'll find a lot of formation agents who will incorporate a limited company for you for less than £25 with PDF's of the certificate of incorporation and Memorandum & Articles of Association.
But do make sure you understand and appreciate the legal responsibilities and obligations that go with a limited company - getting it wrong can make a cheap company formation very expensive.

[Michelle Carvill]

I've formed a number of companies with http://www.companiesmadesimple.com - very simple - and they've been around for a long time and have formed hundreds of thousands of companies. Highly recommended.
