VAT Registration
As HMRC agents, we can apply for your VAT registration on your behalf. VAT registration is ideal for Business to Business (B2B) trading models and for contractors wishing to take advantage of the FRS scheme. There is no minimum turnover requirement for voluntary registration
Warning: To be a director of a company or a partner in an LLP, you have to give Companies House your name, date of birth and residential address. Companies House will publish this information on their website, which is available for anyone to access. As a consequence your personal information will be available to complete strangers.
The risks are obvious:
- Identity theft: The amount of information that is available on social media and other websites about individuals makes it increasingly easy to steal their identity. Making a name, address and date of birth available on an open website makes it so much easier for fraudsters.
- Physical Risk: If your company operates a Business to Consumer (B2C) model, you can become the focus of a customer’s attention without being aware of the fact. Making your home address publicly available makes you vulnerable.
Director’s service address: Companies House will allow you to provide a service address, and that will be published instead of your personal address. If you do not have an office address that you can use as both Registered Office and Director’s Service address, you should consider using our Registered Office Service. The Director’s service address is provided free of charge.
Order Processing Time.
We cannot guarantee completion of your order in 3 hrs.
Unless you have asked for a pre-submission review, Your completed order will be submitted to Companies House as soon as you place it and they will take from 3- 24 working hours to process your it.

Same Day Service.
If you need your company formed on the day you place your order, we offer a same day service. We charge £23+vat to cover additional fees charged by Companies House. The guarantee is only effective if you place your order before 2.30 p.m. on a working day.
