I have been looking at them but i have seen so many bad reviews just out of interest what package did you use with them and how where they.

 

[GraemeL]

Took about 30 minutes. Once you have done the formation, you never have any contact with them again.

Printed package - looks like its £30 today

Easy to do.

Thanks i think i will use these guys after all i was tempted to use the package that allows me to use there London address as i don't like the idea of having my address on show. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good Registered Office.

 

[GraemeL]

i don't like the idea of having my address on show.

Anyone can get your address from Companies House if you are a Director

We can help you out with forming a company.

Our basic package is £19.99 and comes with free domain name, 1 months accountancy service, bank account (if required), extended KashFlow trial + exclusive discount, Google Adwords voucher worth £75, etc.

We also offer registered offices, director service addresses, and mail forwarding as optional extras on all packages.

Any questions or help feel free to drop me a PM

 

[GraemeL]

Right. Legally you must show the registered office address on your website. But to be honest, it doesn't have to be prominent. Most customers are interested in your trading address, if you have a business where that matters.

You will need an accountant to do your annual return, often they provide registered office addresses.

Thats the problem i face i don't have a business address yet but when i find a accountant i will ask them.

OK. You can alter your registered office address whenever you wish.

The key reason for me using my own address is to be 100% sure that all correspondence comes directly to me. I didnt want the slightest risk of anything going astray.

You need help if you don't know what to do. An accountant. Even some pros mess things up, so get some recommendations from businessmen who are still in business and haven't been fined by HMRC!

My understanding was you can just set one up yourself, if you go through company's house they basically do most of it for you?

Yes you can but for very little extra you usually get a lot more benefits by going through a formation agent. For instance we offer free domain name, email address, Adwords voucher, Kashflow trial & exclusive discount, etc. As well of course as the help and support to complete the application.

Formation agents also offer documents that Companies House do not including printed certificate, etc.

Many people find the process much easier and intuitive using a formation agent too

Considering Companies House charge £15 for a very basic no frills formation, you get much more value for money with formation agents.

You would normally use your accountant's address for your registered address - that's a normal service for them to offer, you can then use your home address for mailing or, if you want something more professional then use a serviced office, we offer this service from £15 per month, that includes receiving your mail and putting phone calls through to you (wherever you are) or taking messages (when you are in a meeting, or perhaps swimming!)
There are similar offices around the country, depending on where you are (or where you want to appear to be)
Hope this helps

Hi! I started my own business as a franchisee for e-stateagent.co.uk and I want to use social media as one way to build interest in my business. I use LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ and Facebook. I am just sharing relevant content plus some fun things.
Could anyone recommend any other sites?
Thanks

 

[Michael Davies]

There are many company formation agents around offering pretty much the same service. Prices can vary drastically. Companies House offer this service for £15. Some agents charge far more than this.

I used 1 click 2 start a company for my start up and they charge £14.99 and my company was set up within 3 hours. Very simple to do.

Hope this helps

 

[Himanshu0210]

Heya Ann,

I suggest you should create blogs on bloggers.com, Post on google+, Should promote your business on slideshare, stumble upon, tumblr and write 2 articles referring your services and post them into different directories.

You should write 2 blog posts weekly and be sure that the content should be same on other blogs and social media site posts too.

All The Best

 

[AnnSp]

Thank you Himanshu Katyal. I will look at those sites It is interesting how each social media site works differently for each different audience isn't it.

Hi

I am one of those that used Companies Made Simple. Got the printed package so that I had a tangible letter from Companies House. Got a free domain name. Got a free e-mail address. Paid £29.99. Set up an account with Barclays and they paid me £50 for doing so about 30 days after. Quick and simple. ( they were quick and I was simple)

 

[Deleted member 140971]

I used Duport, they offer some other good services (they are my businesses' registered address and forward all my mail) without any issues. They have had some great customer service too.

I think setting up a LTD company cost me £15

 

[ryanjames]

I'd look to ask local people who have gone down the same route mate. Word of mouth is always your best bet first - especially if its by someone you know or know of.
