Figures Please carry out incorporations for individuals and businesses considering transitioning to a limited company structure.
By managing the incorporation process on your behalf, our team provide peace of mind, ensuring that new companies start on a solid legal and financial foundation.
How we incorporate for your company
Gathering Essential Company Information
We gather all essential information for your business, including the proposed company name, registered office address, details of directors and shareholders, and the intended business activities (using the Standard Industrial Classification or SIC code). Also, we check the availability of the company name and advise on the most suitable company structure, such as private limited by shares or guarantee.
Prepare and collate the required documents
- We prepare and collate the required documents for submission to Companies House. These documents include:
- The memorandum of association, a legal statement signed by all initial shareholders agreeing to form the company
- The articles of association, which outline the rules for running the company. Accountants may use standard templates or tailor these to the client’s needs
- Form IN01, which records company details, including directors, shareholders, share capital, and people with significant control (PSC)
- Statements of capital and compliance, and, if necessary, a statement of guarantee for companies limited by guarantee
Once we have collated these documents and made sure they are accurate, we submit these online to Companies House to ensure to avoid delays or rejections.
Upon successful registration, Companies House issues a Certificate of Incorporation, confirming the company’s legal existence.
After Incorporation
After incorporation, we can assist with post-registration tasks, such as:
- Registering the company for Corporation Tax with HMRC, using the company’s Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) sent by HMRC
- Advising on opening a business bank account and maintaining statutory registers and accounting records
- Ensuring compliance with ongoing legal obligations, such as filing annual accounts and confirmation statements
