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.

12-month Cancellation Protection
Save money and time by purchasing our cancellation protection.
If you change your mind and decide you no longer need your company, within the first 12 months of forming it, we will close the company for you.
Our Company Dissolution Service normally costs £89.99 and so, by purchasing this product you will save £55.00.
This product includes the Companies House fee, completion and filing of the DS01 form (the application to strike off a company), Board Resolution to approve the dissolution, and continued use of our Registered Office and Service Address until your company is closed down.
Please note: You must claim your cancellation protection within 12 months of the date of incorporation of your company. This product expires after 12 months and cannot be renewed.
Pre-Submission Review
Changing your company details after incorporation can be time-consuming and costly. One of our experts will review your application and correct any errors before it is submitted to Companies House.
Confirmation Statement Service
It is a legal requirement for every limited company to submit a Confirmation Statement (previously called the Annual Return) to Companies House, informing them of any changes to company details.
Our highly trained staff will prepare your Confirmation Statement and file it with Companies House before the deadline, ensuring it is completed on time and with complete accuracy.
Please note: This service is renewable every 12 months.
Notice will be given in advance of your renewal date and you will be able to cancel the service.
PAYE Registration
If any employees or directors will take a salary from your company, you must register for PAYE with HMRC. Late registration can result in penalties. We take care of the registration for you.
The PAYE registration process explained
Once your company is incorporated, we'll email you a questionnaire, then apply online. This normally takes around 3 weeks, and HMRC will post your PAYE information to you directly.
If your first payday is less than 3 weeks away, process salaries as normal on that date and complete your registration when HMRC's information arrives. HMRC will take the timing of your registration into account if your first filing is late.
ICO Registration Service
Most UK companies must register with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) each year for data protection purposes. We handle the formalities for you.
Registering matters because:
- Unregistered companies can be fined up to £4,000
- Your company is listed on the public register of fee payers
- You can publish your ICO Registration Number on your website
The ICO registration process explained
After ordering, we'll email you a questionnaire, then apply online. This can take up to 10 days. Once approved, we'll email your ICO Registration Number and Certificate.
Includes the £52.00 ICO registration fee. Renews automatically every 12 months at £89.99 +VAT.
