Frequently asked questions

What documents are required for limited company formation?

You will need a memorandum of association, articles of association, details of directors and shareholders, and a registered office address. An accountant can help prepare these documents accurately to ensure compliance with Companies House requirements.

How long does it take to register a limited company?

Online registration with Companies House typically takes 24 hours. Paper applications can take longer. Using a qualified accountant can speed up the process by ensuring all information is correct and submitted promptly.

Do I need an accountant to form a limited company?

While you can register a company yourself, an accountant ensures your structure is tax-efficient and compliant with HMRC rules. They also advise on share allocation, director duties, and ongoing filing obligations such as Corporation Tax returns.

What are the ongoing filing requirements for a limited company?

You must file annual accounts and a confirmation statement with Companies House, plus a Corporation Tax return with HMRC. A qualified ACCA or ICAEW accountant can manage these deadlines and help you avoid penalties.

Can a limited company be VAT-registered from the start?

Yes, you can voluntarily register for VAT even if your turnover is below the threshold. An accountant can advise whether this is beneficial for your business and handle the registration process with HMRC.

What is the difference between a director and a shareholder?

A director manages the company's day-to-day operations and has legal responsibilities. A shareholder owns part of the company and may receive dividends. One person can hold both roles. An accountant can explain the implications for tax and liability.
