Company Formations

When you register your company, you will need to choose an effective and available business name.

The name must follow certain guidelines, which we will make you aware of before proceeding with the application to incorporate.

We will check with Companies House that the name you have chosen is available, and make you aware of any potential problems. As long as the name falls outside of any restrictions and is not in use, you should not have any problems.

Directors are appointed to manage the activities of the company in accordance with the company’s Articles of Association and with company law. We will ensure that you are aware of the responsibilities that you will have as a company director.

We will give you advice about the appropriate share structure for your company. This is important because you may wish to attach different rights and privileges to shares. Company directors are often also shareholders, especially in smaller companies, but this does not have to be the case.

Private companies are no longer required to appoint a company secretary. If no secretary is appointed, the secretary’s duties will be performed by either the directors or such other person.

The secretary is responsible for administering the statutory documents and records of the company. We act as secretary for a great many of our commercial clients for a competitive, annual fixed fee. We would be happy to act as your company secretary to ensure that all documents are filed accurately and on time through the web filing service at Companies House.
