Frequently Asked Questions about Setting up an LTD company
Everything you need to know about incorporating a company
Can’t find an answer?
Most companies are registered within 3 to 6 working hours, and often even faster. It depends on Companies House processing times, but our fast company registration process ensures we submit your application immediately and without delays.
To set up your LTD company, you’ll need:
- A company name (check availability with our search tool)
- A registered office address in the UK
- Details for at least one director and one shareholder
- A service address for each director
- Share allocation details
- We’ll guide you through each step — no guesswork required
Yes. You can be the sole director and sole shareholder of your limited company. Many small businesses start this way — it’s perfectly legal and very common.
You don’t need an accountant to register your company. However, once your business is running, an accountant can help you manage tax returns, annual accounts, and VAT. We also offer tools and partners to support you after formation if needed.
Every UK company must file:
- A Confirmation Statement - once a year
- Annual Accounts (even if the company is dormant) Other potential filings include Corporation Tax and PAYE. You can manage these yourself or use our services to stay compliant with Companies House and HMRC.
The main difference is liability. As a sole trader, you're personally responsible for business debts. With a limited company, your business is a separate legal entity — which means your personal assets are protected. Limited companies also look more professional and may offer better tax efficiency.
Yes, but your address will appear on the public Companies House register unless you use a registered office address and service address (UK). That’s why many entrepreneurs choose our business address service — to work from anywhere without exposing their home details.
Yes, unless you use an address service. When you register a company, Companies House publishes your registered and director addresses online. To protect your privacy, we offer a London registered office and virtual mailbox so your personal details stay private and secure.
