Company Formation – should you set one up now?

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

setting up a company right now is tough.

many commentators say its only getting harder.

The UK government is billions of pounds in debt, as are UK consumers and residents. Businesses are going bust everyday, and the media coverage of the pain is casting gloom over the public.

So should you incorporate your UK small business today? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. There has never been a better time to set up your new company.

Firstly, it couldn’t be cheaper. You can buy a company registration for as little as £15.

Secondly, its extremely simple. Formation agents make the process extremely easy – just enter your information and, provided you pass the basic checks at Companies House, you will be able to register your new company, and start trading within a few days.

Buy Ltd Company Formations – The Easy Way

Do you want to be a company director and buy your own company formation?

Making a limited company purchase is actually relatively simple: just choose one of the many formation agents out there, and your company will be setup often within a few hours.

The first thing you will want to do is a company name search – to see if anyone else has incorporated using the name you want to form your ltd company with.

Also, bear in mind that Companies House won’t allow you to incorporate with a name similar to anyone else. For example, if someone has already incorporated Blue Widgets Limited, you won’t be able to register Blue Widget Limited.

Also, there are certain words that Companies House won’t let you use in your limited company name- certain “protected words” – along with certain words you will need to prove you can use. For example, if you tried to incorporate your limited company formation with “Blue Widget International Limited”, you will need to show Companies House that you trade in several companies.

These issues making setting up a company a little more complicated, but the process is still relatively simple with e-filing – at least compared to what incorporation was like before the net.
