UK Company Setup
UK Company Registration
Clean company formation, we register your limited company with you as director and 100% shareholder of the company.
A Limited company can be registered for one individual or a number of individuals. To open a UK Ltd you must have a UK registered office address.
Please also note you do not need to be resident in the UK to have a UK limited company.
Business Bank Account Opening
We offer a bank account opening service like no other competitor companies. Due to our financial expertise and bank contacts in London we can ensure upon receipt of all documents we can have your business up and running with a bank account in 2-4 weeks. Also to make the process easier we will arrange for one of our business consultants to attend the bank meeting with you (many of our clients find this to be a key part of the service). You will be provided with the sort code, account number, IBAN and Swift code.
Our Bank account service is very different to our competitors who simply introduce you to a bank whereas we work with the bank managers up until your bank account is open. As we attend the bank meeting, we will ensure to present to the bank your business proposal and answer all their questions.
Companies House Checking Service
The Companies House Checking service entails Flying Formations maintaining your Companies House record throughout the business trading year. It is essential that this record is accurate to avoid issues with the bank (please note: your bank account can be frozen if your Companies House record is not maintained and accurate)
With this service you can make an unlimited amount of Director and Shareholder changes throughout the business trading year. Flying Formations will update Companies House accordingly.
Legalisation and Apostillation
Flying Formations provide a complete Legalisation service to enable documents to be correctly accepted overseas. We have extensive first-hand experience in the legalisation process required to use UK documents overseas.
Non-UK residents who set up a limited company in the UK are often required to have certain company incorporation documents legalised to verify their authenticity. It is often necessary to attach an Apostille Certificate to your company documents when opening a business bank account or opening a new branch of your business in a foreign country.
These documents can be UK Company documents, bank statements, personal documents, government-issued documents, HMRC documents, Power of Attorneys etc. At Flying Formations we provide a service whereby clients have their documents certified by a UK solicitor, then legalised and apostilled by the UK Foreign Office all within 5 working days.
