If you are starting or growing your business and intend to trade as a limited company, we can help by handling the formation of your company. New limited companies can usually be registered within 24 hours, depending upon your requirements. Express or same day formations are also available at an additional charge.

We check all proposed names at Companies House to ensure availability and suitability of your chosen name. Please be aware that there are rules that govern the acceptance of certain sensitive words within your company name such as "International", "Holding" , "Group" and others. Click here to view an extensive list of these prior to submitting your company's name to us for registration.

You cannot choose a name that is already registered and it is unwise to choose anything too similar to an existing name as you may be asked to change it at a later date. You should also bear in mind that there may be unincorporated businesses in the same trade or profession with similar names, which could lead to confusion or conflict if used for your company.

We will check the Companies House Index for an identical name only, to establish if your choice of name is available for registration. Your limited company can be incorporated in England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Click here to check the availability of your chosen name.
