Company formation and secretarial

Setting up a limited company and keeping it in order with Companies House, including a registered office address in Luton.

Forming a company only takes a few minutes online, but getting the structure right takes a bit more thought. We set it up properly, register you for the right taxes and look after the Companies House filings from then on.

Companies House rules have tightened in the last couple of years. We keep you on top of them so nothing slips.

Common questions

Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?

It depends on your profits, risk and plans. A company can save tax and limit your personal liability, but comes with more admin. We'll talk it through at your free consultation.

Can I use my home as my registered office?

You can, but it will appear on the public register. The registered office must be an appropriate address where post can be received, so PO boxes are no longer allowed. Our registered office service keeps your home address private.

What is Companies House identity verification?

Since November 2025 new directors and people with significant control must verify their identity. Existing directors verify when the company files its next confirmation statement. We can help with the process.
