VAT Registration
We take care of the formalities and process your VAT registration on your behalf. Companies register because:
- Turnover is expected to exceed £90,000 in the next 12 months, making registration a legal requirement (unless supplies are exempt)
- Turnover is expected to be below £90,000 but the company wants to register voluntarily
The VAT registration process explained
Once your company is incorporated, we'll email you a questionnaire, then apply online. Approval times depend on the information received and HMRC's workload. Once approved, we'll email your VAT Registration Number, and HMRC will post your VAT Registration Certificate.

- Register of Directors
- Register of Members and Share Ledger
- Register of Applications and Allotments
- Register of Transfers
- Register of Mortgages and Charges
