Why it matters
Registering is quick. Getting it right takes care.
You can file a company online with Companies House yourself. The filing fee is £100 for a standard online registration (£156 for same-day), according to the official Companies House fees list. The hard part is everything around it.
Since 18 November 2025, directors and people with significant control must verify their identity with Companies House. You also need a registered office address in the UK, the right business activity codes, a share structure that suits you, and then registration for Corporation Tax, a business bank account and payment gateways.
Founders outside the UK find this harder still, because banks and marketplaces ask extra questions. We take care of the filing, explain every choice in plain language, and help you set up what comes next so the company can actually trade.

FAQ
Questions we hear often
How much does it cost to register a UK company?
Companies House charges £100 for a standard online registration and £156 for same-day, based on the official fees list. Our fee for the filing and setup help is quoted separately after a free call.
Can a non-UK resident set up a UK company?
Yes. Directors do not need to live in the UK, but the company needs a UK registered office address and every director must verify their identity. Banking is usually the harder part, and we help with that too.
Do I need to verify my identity with Companies House?
Yes. Since 18 November 2025, directors and people with significant control must verify their identity. We walk you through the process before filing.
What do I need to do after the company is registered?
Register for Corporation Tax within three months of starting to trade, set up a business bank account, keep records and file annual accounts and a confirmation statement. You get a checklist and our help with each step.
Can you register a company for selling on Amazon or eBay?
Yes, that is one of the most common reasons clients come to us. We set the company up so its details match what Amazon and eBay ask for during verification.
Are you accountants or solicitors?
No. We handle company formation and business setup. For tax returns, accounts and legal advice we recommend you use a qualified accountant or solicitor, and we can work alongside yours.
