We are committed to providing the highest quality of service. We strive to keep pace with new initiatives and believe in investment in the latest technology which we recognise as an integral part of our work.

Our tailor made English and Scottish company formation service allows you to choose the name of your new company, subject to availability. Because we now submit the vast majority of new incorporations electronically to Companies House, your private company will normally be incorporated within 6-8 working hours* of ordering (*If ordered before 11:00 and Companies House permitting. Companies House in Belfast (CHB) normally takes 7-10 working days to incorporate a new limited company). We are able to assist our clients in many areas including: company and partnership formation (private companies limited by shares, companies limited by guarantee, PLC - public limited companies, flat management companies, joint venture and subsidiary companies, limited partnerships and LLP - limited liability partnerships), assistance with the structuring of offshore companies and provision of nominee corporate secretaries, directors, and officers.
Now you can use your Internet connection to lodge incorporation documents with the Companies House and receive fast electronic responses from the Registrar of Companies. Online English and Scottish company registrations usually take about 6-8 working hours but can sometimes be done in just one hour. A Companies House member of staff has to perform a final manual check of your incorporation details and therefore the timescale is subject to their workload. Our e-formation service eliminates the need to complete Forms 288a (to appoint the directors and secretary), making the process of registration a company even easier and quicker. With our new online electronic company creation system, we take you through each step of your private or guarantee company incorporation process as quickly and as simply as possible. We offer a seamless link between yourself and Companies House. By providing 100% of the details online using a simple, well laid out process, you don't have to get tied up with complicated forms. After submitting, just sit back and wait for our email notification. What could be easier?
Our specialist knowledge and vast experience enable us to provide a fast, efficient, and professional service, and one which a great many businesses have been founded and built upon to date. Once you have completed our online order form and your new limited company is in the processing stage of being registered at Companies House you will receive an order acknowledgement from us by email. Documents we send you via email for the electronic E-Quick Formation Package are: Certificate of Incorporation - in PDF format, Memorandum & Articles of Association, First Minutes of Directors meeting, share certificates, Registers of Members, Directors and Secretaries, Directors Interests, Company charges - in Word format. All of our Memorandum and Articles of Associations (private company limited by shares, company limited by guarantee, flat management company) and Partnership Agreements (limited partnership and limited liability partnership) were reviewed and approved by a volunteer U.K. lawyer.
How the process works. We have introduced a new, faster way of completing the formation process. You can now form both your company and nominate your director(s) and secretary online. The process is simple and straightforward, but we have put together some helpful tips below in case you need any pointers. There is also an email address at the foot of this page if we have missed anything. You can start contracting using your new company once you have received your Certificate of Incorporation - usually within 3 working hours of submitting your order.
Our system allows you to nominate your Directors and Secretaries up front. Other firms incorporating companies, do not offer this on-line service therefore, you would need to complete several forms to achieve the same end result, extending the time your company would be out of operation, to at least three weeks. Using our system, your company will be incorporated with the directors and secretaries of your choice without delay.
Here's what you need to do: the online process will take you through the steps of purchasing your chosen name and on to a new area of the system with an online Form 288a to nominate your chosen director(s) and secretary. As you complete each step of the process you will be sent emailed confirmation - e.g. that your order has been placed and that your request for that company name has been sent to Companies House.
Your Memorandum and Articles of Association will also be sent to you by email. Companies House take 3-4 working hours on average to make final checks on name availability and to issue your Certificate of Incorporation.
For a limited company you need a minimum of 1 secretary and 1 director. If you have only 1 director, two separate people must hold these appointments. The secretary may also be a director if you have more than 1 director. There are 3 sections to fill in: the appointment type - director or secretary. You will need to indicate which position the applicant will hold (director, secretary or both). You will need to supply name and address, any previous names, date of birth, nationality, occupation, details of other directorships, with company name and number.
There is quite a common misconception about Certificates of Incorporation that are issued through electronic filing; one which even the larger banks have not got to grips with yet. Over 65% of all companies formed in the UK are done so using Electronic Filing and this percentage is growing. Companies House do not issue a hard copy certificate for companies that are formed using this method, and instead issue an encrypted PDF version of the certificate. This PDF document is the original certificate, but should you wish to have a hard copy Companies House issue guidelines on how these should be printed. They state that the PDF certificate must be printed on to 160gram Ivory card.
- UK Company Incorporation With Bearer Shares
In addition to incorporating an ordinary limited company we can provide formation & management of UK companies with bearer shares! Bearer shares can be converted into registered shares and vice versa.
Bearer Share Basics. Bearer shares are legal instruments denoting company ownership. They are not the same as stock certificates, however. Usually, the legal shareholders of a limited company are those persons whose names appear on the corporation's official shareholders list, or register. These shareholders may or may not be issued a tangible stock certificate which they may possess. A common stock certificate will bear the name of the shareholder, and how many shares of stock the certificate represents. It will contain other information such as the name of the company, any par value the shares have, and most importantly, whether there are restrictions on the transfer of the shares.
Many UK residents have never heard of bearer shares. The trick behind Bearer Shares, however, is that they must be issued properly by a qualified and knowledgeable corporate director. As long as you do not have them in your possession at the time you are questioned, you can legally and truthfully say under oath, "I am not the owner of that corporation." It's always recommended that people keep their bearer shares. This way, if your nominee officer is ever questioned about your corporation, he can say the same thing: "Bearer shares were issued, I don't know who owns the company, and I can prove it."
In contrast to ordinary stock certificates, bearer shares do not list the name of a shareholder. Instead, they state that shares of stock in the corporation are owned by the "bearer" of the certificate. Therefore, whoever has physical possession of the certificate can exercise the rights of a shareholder of the company. The advantage of bearer shares is privacy and ease of transfer. A company with only bearer shares has no shareholders list or register. Therefore it is impossible to know for certain who the shareholders of the company are. Because a transfer of the shares can be made by simply handing them to another person, bearer shares can be transferred more easily than non-bearer shares.
How Bearer Shares are Suppose to Work. Normally, when you fill out the back of a stock certificate, you must print the name or the company name of who owns that stock. Then you must record in the stock ledger the shareholder, address, date, number of shares, and if it was an original issue or a transfer. Obviously whomever the stock is issued to is the owner of the company. If it is to the bearer, then whoever holds that certificate, at a particular moment, will thereby be considered the owner of the company.
