What Do I Need To Set Up A Limited Company?

A Company Name
Any name can be registered for a limited company as long as it isn’t already registered.

One Director
An individual who will act as a director for the company – this can be yourself.

One Secretary
An individual who will act as a secretary for the company – this can be the same as the director.

One Shareholder
An individual with a single £1 share in the company – this can be a director or secretary.

What is a Registered Office?

This is the official address where all statutory documents from Companies House will be sent. This address will appear on public records and must be a full UK postal address and not a PO box number.

What Is A Certificate of Incorporation?

This is an official certificate issued by the registrar on the incorporation of a limited company.

What Are Memorandum and Articles of Association?

Memorandum of Association
These are statutory legal documents that defines how the company is regulated and what it will do.

Articles of Association
The articles of association define how the shareholders and officers run the company.

What Are Shares?

Shares serve two purposes, providing a means of putting capital into your company and determining the level of control you have over its operations through voting power. This is of vital importance in establishing the power you have within the company – you need over 50% in order to control the company.

Do I Need To Register For VAT?

You are only legally obliged by HM Customs & Excise to pay VAT if your company’s taxable annual turnover exceeds the current threshold of £68,000.

Can Anyone Set Up A Limited Company?

Any individual can register a limited company providing the following conditions:
They are not an undischarged bankrupt.
They have not been restrained by court order.
They are not subject to UK government restrictions.
