VAT Registration
Allow our highly trained staff to handle the formalities of your VAT registration.
If your turnover is expected to exceed £85,000 in the next 12 months, it is a legal requirement to register for VAT, unless the supplies are exempt.
If your turnover is not expected to exceed £85,000, there are a number of reasons why many companies choose to register for VAT voluntarily. For example:
- The ability to claim back VAT on goods and services purchased by the company.
- Raise the corporate image of the company, by appearing to be bigger than you actually are.
- Enable deals with suppliers and customers who are not willing to deal with companies that are not VAT registered.
The VAT registration process explained
As soon as your company is incorporated, we will send you a questionnaire by email, asking for some additional information necessary to complete your VAT registration application with HMRC.
We will then apply for your VAT registration online. This process can take up to 30 days.
Once your VAT registration has been approved, we will send your VAT Registration Number to you by email. Your VAT Registration Certificate will be sent to you by post by HMRC.

A Limited Liability Partnership is the most popular incorporated business structure amongst industry professionals like accountants and solicitors who most often operate as partnerships. The added benefit of an LLP over a traditional partnership, however, is the limited lability provided to each member, or partner.
At a cost of just £29.99 plus VAT, our LLP package offers excellent value and provides online company set up in 3 to 6 working hours, digital and printed LLP incorporation documents and a free draft LLP Agreement. There is no need to use an LLP Agreement, but many partnerships prefer to have one drawn up, and it really is essential if you plan to divide profits between members in any way other than equally.
Once your LLP has been approved by Companies House, we will issue a draft LLP Agreement by email. You can then edit this document with the relevant details and email it back to us. We will then send 2 printed copies of the LLP Agreement to you by first class post.

If you decide you would like your LLP to have a formal Agreement, return your completed draft to us by email. We will then prepare two printed copies for you and send them to you by 1st class post.
It is not a legal requirement to have a formal LLP Agreement; however, it is required if you need to divide the share of profits and capital other than equally.

Frequently asked questions
What package do I need?
The answer to this question depends on your requirements:
- If you're operating on a tight budget you may wish to choose the Basic Package.
- Do you need high quality printed company documents? All packages except for the Basic Package will provide these.
- Do you need privacy and do not want to display your home address on the public record? The Privacy and Complete Packages provide registered office and service addresses.
- If you need VAT registration - you may wish to consider the Complete Package.
- You may have a need for one of our specialist company formation packages, e.g. an LLP, or a limited by guarantee company for your charity business.
Why not give our friendly Customer Service Team a call at 020 3908 0044, who will be happy to hear from you and discuss your new company requirements.
Can I buy the Basic Package and add services at a later date?
Yes, you can add additional services later from the Shop area in your Company Manager Portal; however, they will not be at the discounted prices of the packages.
Can I order my new company by telephone?
Yes absolutely. Please call our Customer Service Team at 020 3908 0044 and one of company experts will process your company formation order with you by telephone.
What information do I need provide to form a company?
Forming a limited company is a simple online process; however, before starting the process you will need the following information to hand: the company name, registered office address, director details, shareholder details (can be the same person as the director), and how many shares you want to issue.
For further reading, please have a look at our resource page: Information Required to Register a Company, which provides a useful company formation checklist.
Can a non-resident form a UK company?
Yes, you do not need to live in the UK to form a UK limited company. If you are at least 16 years old and not disqualified, you can form a company regardless of nationality or location.
We provide a Non-Residents Package which is ideal for overseas customers who wish to form a UK limited company, as it provides the required address services and free international delivery of company documents. It also provides a TransferWise UK business bank account, which is the simplest and quickest banking solution for non-UK residents.
Can I get a business bank account for my new company?
Yes, we provide up to 8 business bank accounts for our UK customers to include in their company formation order, including Barclays, TSB, Cashplus, CardOne, ANNA, Revolut, Mettle, and Countingup.
We also offer a TransferWise business bank account for our non-UK resident customers to send, spend and receive multiple currencies with the real exchange rate. You will get a UK account number and sort code, Eurozone IBAN, and US account and routing number within minutes, regardless of where you are in the world.
The TransferWise account is included in our Non-Residents Package; however, it can also be added to your basket during the company order process with any other package. There is a fixed one-time onboarding fee ranging from £16-£21 (or equivalent in local currency).
How long does it take to form a new company?
It will take you no more than 5 to 10 minutes to complete the online company application form on our website. Companies House will then usually take 3 to 6 working hours to approve your new company registration. Please note this is subject to Companies House workload on the day and it can take up to 24 hours.
If it is very important your company is incorporated as soon as possible, we would recommend you add the Guaranteed Same-Day Service to your order.
How many shares do I need to issue?
You must issue at least one share to form a limited company. If there is more than one shareholder, you must issue at least one share per person. Most new companies issue up to 100 Ordinary shares of £1 each. Issuing 100 share at £1 means you have flexibility to issue shares to other shareholders in the future and your liability is limited to £100.
What is the difference between the address services included in the packages?
The registered office and service address are legally required to form a limited company or LLP, and both are displayed on the public record. The registered office is the official address of a company, and the service address is the official address of a company director, PSC, company secretary or LLP member.
We provide a Registered Office Service and a Service Address Service, as many customers prefer to keep their home address private. All official government mail is sent to these addresses and as part of our service we will forward this mail to you by scan and email free of charge.
The business address is not a required address to register a limited company. The benefit of the Business Address Service is to provide a prestigious location and enhanced corporate image for your company. The forwarding of your general business correspondence is charged at the cost of the Royal Mail postage rates plus a 15% handling fee.
What is a SIC code and can I have more than one?
A SIC code or Standard Industrial Classification code is used to categorise a company's business activity. To register a limited company or LLP you must choose at least one SIC code, although you can choose up to four. Do not worry if you do not know the SIC code relevant to your business activity, Quality Company Formations provide a simple SIC code search tool where you can choose your SIC code or codes.
How do I obtain my free domain name?
As soon as your new company has been registered at Companies House, we will send you an order fulfilled email. Within this email you will receive a voucher code and instructions on how to set up your new domain using the 'names.co.uk' website.
Do I need to provide ID?
All company formation agents have a legal obligation to check Proof of ID and Address; however, most customers do not need to do anything, as we carry out digital checks using the information supplied in your online company application form.
Those customers who require to provide ID can do so in a matter of minutes using their mobile phone and a simple App which we will provide. In most cases we supply the App free of charge; however, in some instances where checks are more expensive, we may ask you to pay £5.00 plus VAT to use the App.
If I change my mind and want to close down my company - is this difficult and costly?
It is a simple process to close a limited company. Quality Company Formations offer a Company Dissolution Service at a cost of £49.99 + VAT. This cost includes the Companies House fee, filing the DS01 form and providing the Board Resolution to approve the dissolution of the company.
Your company is 10 times less likely to be rejected
We provide a free check of all new company registration orders for omissions and errors
- greatly reducing the chances of rejection by Companies House.
Less chance of rejection
By checking applications for errors, we dramatically reduce the average rejection rate of new company applications in the UK, from 10%, to just 1%.
What’s more, if a company is rejected, we will fix the problem and re-submit the application.
Perfect documents
If we didn’t check our clients’ applications, in most cases the company documents would not be properly presented.
This is due to capitalisation problems and grammatical errors being transferred to the finished company documents.
...and it's free!
We review our clients' company applications, and handle the rejections free of charge.
Our aim is to achieve customer service excellence by delivering new companies with perfectly presented documents to our customers, without undue stress or delay.
