One or more persons (‘person’ can be an individual or company) can start a company for any legal reason by subscribing to the memorandum of association defined by companies’ legislation. A person may start a limited company – limited by shares or guarantee depending on whether it is a for profit or non-profit organization respectively; a partnership or limited liability partnership (LLP), a sole trader or proprietorship company, depending on the purpose and suitability.

The registration application to the Companies House must be accompanied by certain documents such as the Memorandum and Articles of Association, forms 10 and 12 in electronic format. The name of the company should be carefully chosen so as to avoid any clash with other existing companies and should be registered to prevent it from being used by any other new company in future. The object clause that is mandatory for all limited companies should be set to ‘general commercial object’, allowing the company to engage in any type of business irrespective of its name. This should be ensured especially when opting for a ready made company.

On completion of online application submission and payment through the secure system, payment confirmation is sent and a certificate of incorporation along with other important documents and instructions are sent immediately. The directors, secretary and shareholders can be nominated instantly on registration and any changes later must be communicated to the Companies House.

One important task to start a limited company is to set up a registered office and communicate the address to the Companies House HMRC to enable all legal communications such as letters, notices etc. Another important task is to register for corporation tax, VAT and national insurance contributions.

Filing annual tax returns with the Companies House is mandatory and failing to do so attracts severe penalty.
