Set up with a clear structure
Discuss the proposed activity, company name, directors, shareholders, people with significant control, registered office and relevant business classification. Decide the structure with appropriate professional advice.
BUSINESS & EVERYDAY LIFE
Company & compliance

The service at a glance.
Registration and identity
Companies House registration establishes the legal company. Directors may need their verified-identity personal codes. Use GOV.UK or an appropriately authorised agent for the actual verification and filing process.
Keep the company in good order
Plan accounts, confirmation statements, statutory records and tax registrations. Filing deadlines and responsibilities remain with the company and its directors, even where an agent helps.
Care and regulated activities
Incorporation is separate from permissions to provide regulated care, immigration advice or financial services. A company registration is not a care registration, sponsor licence or immigration permission.
