Common questions
How long does company formation take?
Registering a limited company with Companies House is usually quick once the paperwork is in order. We'll talk you through the current timescale when we understand what you need.
Do I need to form a company before I start trading?
Not necessarily. Many people trade as a sole trader first. We can talk through the pros and cons of each structure for your situation before you decide.
What should I do in my first few weeks?
This varies by structure, but generally includes registering with HMRC for the right taxes, setting up bookkeeping, and understanding your filing deadlines. We'll give you a clear list specific to your business.
