UK Limited Company Formation UK limited company formation accounts for over ninety-five percent of all company registration requests sent to Companies House. Some people register a company in order to trade in some form of business or commercial activity, while other are merely interested in setting up a company in order to requisition the name and thereby make it unavailable to others. One of the primary reasons why the majority of company formations are of limited entities is because they restrict the limited of the business' shareholders and offer them the protection which other entities could not provide. Sole traders and partnerships can not abstain from sharing the fate of their businesses in the event that it is sued for unpaid bills. UK company formation covers the registration of all limited companies which have their registered office in England, Wales, or Scotland. Both Northern and Southern Ireland have their own registering body which handles incorporation applications within those jurisdictions.

Companies House and UK Company Formation Agents Companies House is the only organisation within England, Wales and Scotland able to authorise the registering of a UK limited company. Whilst it is possible to form a company directly with Companies House, most registrations are executed through UK company formation agents. The majority are able to connect to Companies House in order to carry out the necessary company name search. Following completion of the purchase and appointment of directors, secretaries and shareholders, the registration agents will then provide the necessary incorporation requests, submissions and successful company incorporation documents to the end user. UK Limited company formation can usually be completed in one day. Companies House do offer a premium guaranteed same day service, but this is often unnecessary. Most company set-ups are completed within three to four hours following the time of their submission. Search the World Wide Web with Google and Yahoo Finance and Business.
