Company formation FAQs

  • Why do I need to form a company?

    If you want to trade through a limited company - you need to form one. Simply calling yourself Joe Bloggs & Co - doesn't make you a limited company. Similarly, you can only call your self Joe Bloggs Ltd if you have a limited company.

    There are several, but the most common is a company formed by share capital.

    The easiest way is to follow this link: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company-name-availability type in your preferred company name, and it will tell you if the name is available.

  • Are there different types of packages available?

    There are indeed - but for the vast majority of our clients, a company ltd by share capital will be sufficient.

  • Can I form a company myself?

    Yes, you can. However, why would you want to risk getting something like this wrong? One of the most important lessons I have learnt in business is to do what you are brilliant at and do that - everything else - outsource.
