If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking these Terms and Conditions that will not mean that you do not have to do those things, nor will it prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

All the information we give you and all communications between you and us will be in English. All notices from us to you will be to the email address you give when registering with us or as otherwise later amended. You may contact us at formations@anna.money.
Your use of the Website and company registration service are governed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or difference whatsoever arising out of or in connection with your use of the Website or the purchase of any products or services from it.
We provide a service under which we collect information about a company you want to form, and pass that information to Companies House, using a technological integration that we have built to interface directly with Companies House. As such, we act as a means of allowing you to pass information to Companies House in a convenient way, but do not act as an advisor in how to create a company.
You may use this service:
- To register no more than one limited company with no more than 4 individuals in total as its shareholders and directors (a person who is both counts once), each of whom must be a natural person (not a company or other corporate entity). You can add further shareholders or directors after incorporation by filing directly with Companies House;
- For your own business only, not to be used on behalf of anyone else;
You may not use this service to create shell companies unless they are intended to be used immediately for the purposes of your own business.
You confirm that you are using this service for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession, including a business you are setting up, and not as a consumer.
You are responsible for dealing with any subsequent filings or governance of the company (ex. annual returns, keeping a register of PSCs (people with significant control), etc.)
You must pay the price of the plan you select. Your use of the service is subject to the restrictions set out above. If that plan is a Subsidised Plan, clause 16 also applies. If and to the extent that you use the service outside these restrictions without our express written permission, we reserve the right to terminate your use of the service, and to charge you at a rate of £100 per additional company formed. That charge is separate from, and additional to, any amount payable under clause 16.
The plans, prices and conditions we offer may differ between customers and may change over time, including as part of tests and promotions. The price and any conditions that apply to you are those shown to you on the order page when you pay.
Once we receive electronic confirmation of incorporation from Companies House, we will automatically send you a confirmation email with digital copies of:
- Certificate of Incorporation
- Automatically generated Memorandum of Association
- Automatically generated Articles of Association based on the Model Articles of Association
- Automatically generated Share Certificates / Statement of Capital
However, we are simply passing on the documents that we receive from Companies House, and it is your responsibility to check that they contain the correct information.
- We do not accept any liability for any errors or omissions in the company formation information that you submit through our Website, or for any such company formation application which is subsequently rejected by Companies House.
- We are not responsible or liable for any rejection of incorporation or problems arising due to the appointment not meeting the legal requirements for company formation.
- Where a company name is selected by the Customer for registration for whatever reason and if that registration is permitted, it is permitted by the registrar on the basis of the registrar’s view that it will not conflict with the name of any other company at that time of registration.
- We do not warrant that the use of the company name will not conflict with the rights of currently operating businesses, and in particular we do not warrant that the use of the name may not give rise to actions for passing off, or for infringement of any other proprietary or legal right. We have not investigated and cannot investigate the possibility of the existence of conflicting rights and the Customer accepts sole responsibility for meeting all and any claims of any kind whatsoever arising out of the use of the company name and agrees to indemnify us in respect of any costs, expenses or damages it suffers or for which it is held liable as a result of any such claims.
- For the avoidance of doubt, the liability restrictions in clause 2 apply to the company registration service in the same way that they apply to the provision of the website itself, in addition to the terms in this clause 12.
Provided you have complied with the formalities necessary to purchase a company from us, the Registrar of Companies will generally complete the incorporation within 24 hours during normal working hours. However, we have no control over this process, which may take longer as incorporation is always dependent on Companies House workload and availability.
We do not include any of the following:
- Accountancy services;
- Tax advice;
- Auditing of your books;
- Company secretarial services
- Legal advice;
- Filing of annual accounts
- Company search reports;
- Sale of shelf-companies; nor
- Any other products or services not expressly mentioned.
Refunds are made in accordance with our Refund Policy, which can be found at https://anna.money/refund-policy/, and, where clause 16.8 or clause 18 applies, in accordance with those clauses.
16.1 In this clause 16:
- "Business Account" means a business account provided by or through ANNA in the name of the company we incorporate for you;
- "Companies House Fee" means the fee charged by Companies House for incorporating a company, which we pay to Companies House on your behalf when we submit your application (at the date of these terms, £100, which is outside the scope of VAT);
- "Condition Period" means the period of 10 calendar days beginning on the date your company is incorporated at Companies House; and
- "Subsidised Plan" means a plan under which we pay the Companies House Fee on your behalf and do not charge it to you, on the condition set out in clause 16.2, where that condition is displayed to you on the order page before you pay.
16.2 The condition. Where you purchase a Subsidised Plan, we pay the Companies House Fee on your behalf on the condition that a Business Account is opened for your company within the Condition Period. You must apply for a Business Account and provide the information and documents we reasonably request in order to open it.
16.3 If the condition is not met. If the condition in clause 16.2 is not met, you must reimburse us the Companies House Fee. We will recover the exact amount we paid to Companies House on your behalf and no more, and no VAT is payable on it. This is a term about the price of your plan and is not a charge for breach of it.
16.4 When you will not have to reimburse us. You will not have to reimburse the Companies House Fee where:
16.4.1 we did not make a Business Account, or our application process for one, available to you for any part of the Condition Period;
16.4.2 the account was not opened within the Condition Period because of our error, our delay or a failure of our systems; or
16.4.3 you cancelled your plan in accordance with our Refund Policy.
16.5 Account decisions. Whether to open a Business Account is our decision, and we are not obliged to open one. We are not required to give reasons for a decision not to open a Business Account, and in some cases we are prevented by law from doing so. Subject to clause 16.4, the Companies House Fee becomes reimbursable if no Business Account is opened within the Condition Period, whether that is because you did not apply, because you did not provide what we asked for, or because we did not approve your application.
16.6 Notice. We will tell you about the condition in clause 16.2 on the order page before you pay. We will remind you at least 3 days before the end of the Condition Period. If the condition is not met, we will give you at least 7 days’ written notice of the amount we intend to take and the date on which we intend to take it. If a Business Account is opened for your company before that date, we will not take the payment.
16.7 Payment. By purchasing a Subsidised Plan you agree that we may keep the details of the card or other payment method you use to pay for that plan, and use them to take a single payment of the Companies House Fee (currently £100) without asking you again if the condition in clause 16.2 is not met. We will give you notice under clause 16.6 before we take it. If we are unable to take payment by that method, we may invoice you and payment will be due within 14 days.
16.8 If a Business Account is opened later. If a Business Account is opened for your company within 7 days after we take payment under clause 16.7, we will refund the amount taken, provided you request the refund in accordance with, and within the time limit set out in, our Refund Policy (https://anna.money/refund-policy/). We will refund it to the payment method from which it was taken, within a reasonable period after we receive your request.
17.1 UK law requires every company director and every person with significant control (PSC) to have their identity verified with Companies House. Before we can incorporate your company, or provide any other service that requires it, each director and PSC must have a Companies House personal identification code (a "Personal Code").
17.2 If any director or PSC already has a Personal Code from a previous identity verification, it must be provided to us so that we can proceed with your application.
17.3 If a director or PSC does not yet have a Personal Code, ANNA Admin Limited (company number 15219006), which is registered with Companies House as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) under reference AP020973, can verify that person’s identity for this purpose and request a Personal Code from Companies House on their behalf. Companies House will send the Personal Code to that person’s email address, and you must make sure it is provided to us so that we can process your application.
17.4 Where ANNA Admin Limited verifies a director’s or PSC’s identity as an ACSP, you acknowledge and agree that Companies House will automatically record and publish on the public register that ANNA Admin Limited verified that person’s identity, and that this record cannot be removed by ANNA Admin Limited once filed.
17.5 If your company will have directors, shareholders or PSCs other than you, you must have their permission to give us their details, and make sure they know how we will use them (see our privacy policy at https://anna.money/privacy-policy/) and what Companies House will publish under clause 17.4.
18.1 We may decide, in our sole discretion, not to proceed with forming your company. This may include, for example, cases where: (a) you or any director, shareholder or PSC fails our anti-money laundering or know-your-customer (AML/KYC) checks; (b) we suspect fraud or another financial crime in connection with your application; or (c) you do not meet the restrictions set out in clause 10 or the requirements of clause 17.
18.2 Whether to proceed is our decision, and where clause 18.1 applies we are not obliged to provide the service. We are not required to give reasons for a decision not to proceed, and in some cases we are prevented by law from doing so.
18.3 Where we decide not to proceed with forming your company, we will refund in full what you paid for your order, except for any service we have already provided (for example, a domain name already registered for you). We will make the refund to the card or other payment method you used within 14 days of telling you of our decision, unless the law requires us to delay it (for example, while we wait for consent from a law enforcement agency).
18.4 If we decide not to proceed, our only obligation to you is to make the refund in clause 18.3, and we will have no other liability to you arising from that decision. Nothing in this clause limits clause 2.1.
