Fast & Efficient Incorporation

We offer both online and fully supported incorporation services depending on your requirements.

Clients can incorporate quickly using our secure online formation platform or work directly with our team for tailored support by telephone or email.

Once incorporated, your company documents are typically available within hours and sent directly to your nominated email address.

Your Incorporation Package Includes:

  • Certificate of Incorporation
  • Articles of Association
  • Company Authentication Code (CAC)
  • Digital Incorporation Documents

Your company details are usually visible on the Companies House register shortly after incorporation.

What We Need to Incorporate Your Company

To proceed with incorporation, we will typically require the following information:

1. Company Name

Your proposed company name will need to comply with Companies House requirements and be available for registration.

2. Director Information

We require:

  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Residential address
  • Service address

A private company can be formed with a single director, and appointing a company secretary is no longer mandatory.

3. Share Structure

You will need to confirm:

  • Number of shares being issued
  • Share values
  • Shareholder ownership percentages

4. SIC Code

A Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is required to describe your business activities.

5. Registered Office Address

Every company must maintain a registered office address in the relevant UK jurisdiction.

London Law also offers a registered office address service for an annual fee.

6. Registered Company Email Address

Companies House now requires all companies to maintain a registered company email address for official communications.

7. Shareholder Information

Details of the initial shareholders and share allocations will be required on incorporation.

8. Director Verification

Directors and Persons with Significant Control (PSCs) are now required to provide Companies House personal verification codes following identity verification.

London Law can assist with the identity verification process.

Bespoke Articles of Association

Our incorporation packages include professionally drafted Articles of Association designed specifically for modern businesses.

Unlike standard model articles, our documents are clearer, more comprehensive, and designed to reduce uncertainty as company law evolves.

We also provide bespoke drafting services for:

  • Specialist shareholder arrangements
  • Investor protections
  • Multiple share classes
  • Group company structures
  • Tailored governance provisions

Company Registers & Ongoing Compliance

Although some statutory registers are no longer mandatory, companies must still maintain an accurate Register of Members as the definitive legal record of ownership.

To support ongoing compliance, London Law can provide:

  • Printed statutory registers
  • Share certificates
  • Membership certificates
  • Ongoing company secretarial services
  • Companies House filing support

Persons with Significant Control (PSC) Compliance

All UK limited companies and LLPs are legally required to maintain accurate Persons with Significant Control (PSC) records and file relevant information with Companies House.

These rules are designed to improve corporate transparency and identify individuals who ultimately own or control a business.

Who Qualifies as a PSC?

An individual will usually qualify as a PSC if they:

  • Hold more than 25% of company shares
  • Hold more than 25% of voting rights
  • Can appoint or remove the majority of directors
  • Exercise significant influence or control over the business

Corporate entities may also qualify as Registrable Relevant Legal Entities (RLEs).

Ongoing PSC Obligations

Companies and LLPs must:

  • Maintain accurate PSC records
  • Update Companies House promptly when changes occur
  • File changes within the applicable deadlines

Failure to maintain compliant PSC records may result in penalties and breaches of Companies House obligations.

How We Can Help

London Law can assist with:

  • Identifying PSCs and RLEs
  • Preparing and maintaining PSC registers
  • Filing Companies House updates
  • Advising on complex ownership structures
  • Ongoing company secretarial compliance
