Most accountants will form a limited company for you; however for those peoplewho intend to set up their own Limited Company, the following basic guide outlines the requirements for registering your company.
Registering your Limited Company.
Before your business can set up as a limited company (or become "incorporated") it needs to be registered with Companies House.
You will need to complete the following documents and return them to Companies House to complete the incorporation process:
Memorandum of Association - includes information on Company Name, Location and Type of Business.
Articles of Association - These outlines the powers of the Directors and the rights of the shareholders, etc
Form 10 - Provides details of the Directors' and Company Secretary's Names and Addresses, together with the Registered Company address,
Form 12 - Simply states that the Company complies with the terms of the Companies Act.
These documents are normally prepared by accountants or formation agents; however there is no legal requirement to use either. Guidance on all aspects of the registration process, including documentation required to complete the registration process can be found at the Companies House website.
