• Choose the right shareholding structure

• Understand director vs shareholder responsibilities

• Set up your company with Companies House

FAQs

Can I set up a company myself online?
Yes — but DIY formations often lead to problems down the line, especially with share structures, tax inefficiencies, and missing HMRC registrations. We get it right the first time.

How long does it take to form a company?
In most cases, we can register your limited company within 24–48 hours, assuming all details are ready.

What’s the difference between a director and a shareholder?
A director runs the company; a shareholder owns it. One person can be both. The distinction matters for tax, dividends and decision-making.

How much does it cost?
Our formation and structuring packages typically start from £195 + VAT, depending on complexity and services required.
