Limited Companies

We are able to help clients obtain a new Limited Companies or to purchase ‘off the shelf’ companies which have been in existence for a while, but have not been trading.

In the former case, the company is formed with a name of your choice and in the latter, the company will already have a name which can then be changed to one of your choosing, subject to availability.

We can check the availability of suitable names for your business, live online, using the Registrar of Companies' WebCheck service.

Additionally, we are able to search for and purchase on your behalf, a suitable Internet Domain name for your new company. To retain the rights to the name costs approximately  £15.00 per annum. Web hosting can also be arranged, although we do not design or maintain web sites (apart from our own)

A limited company gives peace of mind to the directors by giving them limited liability, although increasingly banks and other lending institutions may require a personal guarantee from the directors, which may negate this advantage.

The company formation agents we use, are the largest in the U.K. and they offer a good all-round professional service. They also offer a range of other associated services and publications. A basic company formation cost from £160.00 at the present time, plus the cost of our time for dealing with the necessary paperwork.
