How to form a UK limited company

Registering a company in the UK is straightforward when your details are right first time. Here is exactly what happens, and what Companies House needs from you.

  1. 1

    Check your company name is available

    Your name must be unique on the register and must not use a sensitive word without approval. Our free checker searches Companies House as you type.

  2. 2

    Decide who runs and owns the company

    You need at least one director aged 16 or over and at least one shareholder. The same person can be both.

  3. 3

    Give a registered office address

    This is the official address for Companies House and HMRC, and it appears on the public register. Use ours to keep your home address private.

  4. 4

    Choose your SIC codes

    SIC codes describe what your business does. You can pick up to four, and change them later.

  5. 5

    Verify identities and file

    Directors and PSCs verify their identity, then we submit your application. Most companies are incorporated within 24 working hours.

Timings are for applications submitted on a working day with complete details and identity verification. Companies House processing times can be longer around bank holidays.
