Can I set up a company online in the UK?
If you’re thinking about setting up a UK limited company, you might be wondering about the process. Do you need to go somewhere, sign documents, or send anything by mail?
The answer to all these questions is no. You don’t need to visit any office, provide physical signatures, or mail anything.
You can form a company entirely online using a desktop computer or even a mobile phone.
Setting up your company with Companies House or a company formation agent
It is now possible to complete the company formation process from choosing a company name to getting your application approved at Companies House, in just a few hours depending on their current workload. This is because the capability to do everything online allows for such speed.
You have the option to form your company directly with Companies House or to enlist the help of a company formation agent, like us, to guide you through the process.
A company formation agent offers several services that Companies House cannot:
- Protect your residential address from public records with a registered office and service address service.
- Minimize errors by having a company formation expert review your application before submission.
- Simplify your banking needs with introductions to a range of business banking providers.
- Access support whenever you need it, with a dedicated team member just a few clicks away.
- Startxpress also offers the next generation company operating system that you can manage all of your processes, such as company establishment, bookkeeping, business address, and opening a bank account service and many more! One partner – One solution.
Setting up a company offline
Companies can still be formed offline using the IN01 – Application to Register a Company form. However, this paper method significantly increases both the time required to form the company and the likelihood of errors.
