How to Register a Company

. Welcome to the Coddan's One-Stop Online Business Registration System. By using our system you will be able to register your business with the UK Companies House. After completing the online registration process, you will receive all of the necessary corporate documents your established business.

Want to register a business in United Kingdom? You need to register your business with the Companies House (Registrar of Companies). If you are starting a business in Scotland, you need to register your business with the Companies House in Edinburgh. If you are starting a business in Northern Ireland, you need to register your business with the Companies Registry in Belfast. In all cases, the first step is to choose and register a business name, a process that often requires a name search. After that, it is a matter of filling out the appropriate forms (and paying the appropriate fees) to register your business. One of the early decisions to make when establishing a new business is what would be the best legal format for it. It will most probably be a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company. Most of the restrictions - and dangers - in selecting trading names apply to all these types, though the display requirements under the Business Names Act can vary according to the actual business name used.

Registering your company involves many things: constitutions, directors, certificate of incorporation, registered offices; it can all be quite confusing. In addition, there are many legal requirements such as The Companies Act to be aware of, so why not get help with registering your company?

We always hold in stock at least 100 off-the-shelf companies available for immediate dispatch.
