Register a company in 3 quick simple steps



Do I need a business bank account?
Limited companies need business accounts
Why register a company?
To operate as a Limited Company, you need to register with Companies House. That usually costs £50, but we’ll do it for you for free when you select our Enhanced or Total Support plan.
We can register your company in 5 minutes and you should receive your certificate of incorporation within hours.

What company types are there and which one should I choose?
- Private Limited Company (Ltd) by shares: A company owned by private shareholders with limited liability, meaning their personal assets are protected if the company faces financial difficulties.
- Company Limited by Guarantee: Typically used by non-profit organisations, members' liability is limited to a predetermined amount they agree to contribute in the event of the company being wound up.
- Public Limited Company (PLC): A company whose shares are publicly traded on the stock exchange, allowing the general public to become shareholders.
- Community Interest Company (CIC): A company established to benefit the community or pursue social and environmental objectives, with profits reinvested for public good rather than distributed to shareholders.
- Limited Liability Partnership (LLP): A hybrid between a partnership and a limited company, offering limited liability protection to its partners.
