Frequently Asked Questions
Should I register as a sole trader or limited company?
It depends on your income level, risk appetite, and plans. A limited company is often more tax-efficient once profits exceed around £30,000–£40,000, and provides limited liability protection. We advise you on the best structure for your specific circumstances.
How long does it take to form a company?
Companies House can register a new limited company within 24 hours online. We handle all the paperwork and ensure everything is set up correctly — including registering with HMRC for corporation tax, PAYE, and VAT if needed.
What is a registered office and do I need one?
Every UK limited company must have a registered office address where official correspondence from Companies House and HMRC is sent. We offer a registered office service using our Pinner, London address, keeping your home address private.
What ongoing compliance does a limited company need?
A limited company must file annual accounts with Companies House, submit a corporation tax return to HMRC, file an annual confirmation statement, and maintain statutory registers. We handle all of this on your behalf.
