COMPANY FORMATION, REGISTERING A LIMITED COMPANY THE EASIEST WAY.

Companies House in the UK is the British Government registrar of all limited companies. Starting a company or business and selecting the format of this new business can be a complicated issue and indeed many fall foul of Companies House simply through poor advice in forming a company. It is the role of Companies House to ensure company information, accounts, directors' and secretary's information, registered office address, annual; returns ... and much more is up to date and correct. Late filing penalties and fines are dished out to those who fail in their administrative duties as laid out by the Companies Act.

Running a business is difficult enough with all the red tape and penalties involved if you do not conform to all the Company regulations. The legal requirements and administration can become a burden and in reality your priority is running the business. At times you may feel like a secretary ( or slave ! ) to the Government's many departments of which you will soon cross paths.

In an ideal world there would be professionals who have the experience and expertise to discuss with you the type of business you wish to operate or indeed the one which you already run. From taking on board your personal circumstances and combining those with the Company rules and regulations which prevail, an ideal cost effective solution can be tailored to suit you, your business and budget.

The internet is a marvelous tool and allows anyone to dig deep and search for almost anything. I embarked upon searching for a Company Registration service, whilst I learned that Companies House don't recommend or endorse any commercial business or service outside HM Government, their personnel are very friendly and point one to other resources where certain information may be found. During my search I found 1st for business Ltd among others but the attraction was 1st for Business Ltd offered a turnkey service. Rather than simply forming a limited company and sending off the forms, then parting company with a 'good luck' gesture 1st for business Ltd has a whole host of additional cost effective benefits which can greatly reduce the red tape and administrative burden.

For one moment, let's focus on some of this red tape;

 

Registered Office, This is the 'official' address of your Company in the UK. The Registered Office is used by the Registrar of Companies and the Inland Revenue for sending official papers. You will need one and for many reasons your place of business may not be the best option. 1st for Business Ltd will all you to use their address and will post all mail to you, anywhere in the world.

Nominee Company Secretary. All UK Companies must have two officers. 1st for Business Ltd will act as your Company Secretary or as a Joint Company Secretary to ensure you are compliant with the Companies Act.

Completion of your Company's Annual Return - 1st for Business Ltd will supply and draft all your company's 288a, 288b 228c and 225 ( Accounts Reference Date). Then check the details on the Annual Return ready for filing.

Preparation of Non-Trading/Dormant Company Accounts - 1st for Business Ltd will draft and file your annual accounts.

Change of Company Name - 1st for Business Ltd will draw up the Special Resolution to Change the Name of your Company, send it to you for signature then forward it to the The Registrar of Companies. You should receive the Certificate of Change of Name within 5 days.

Completion of First Board Minutes - This is the document which states the Officers of your new Company, Registered Office, Auditors (if applicable), Accounting Reference Date, Bankers and the Allotment of Shares.1st for Business Ltd will draft and file the relevant information.

UK Company Nominees -1st for Business Ltd will hold shares on your behalf as nominees thereby hiding the beneficial ownership of the company.

Opening a Bank Account - 1st for Business Ltd can incorporate a company to your specific requirements or you can purchase a Ready Made Company, 1st for Business Ltd will complete all the necessary forms to assist you with opening a bank account with a UK clearing bank.

Registering for VAT (Value Added Tax) - 1st for Business Ltd will apply for and complete the forms necessary for your company to be registered with HM Customs & Excise for VAT.

Change in Memorandum or Articles of Association - Should you require a specific objects clause in your Memorandum of Association through to redrafting of your Articles of Association to include holding meetings by conference phone - 1st for Business Ltd can assist.

 

This is only a part of it ! Before all of this begins there may be other options, for instance a standard Limited Company (Ltd) or the new Limited Liability Partnerships. ( LLP )

What is the difference between a limited liability partnership and a limited company? - The major difference between the two is that a limited liability partnership ( LLP) has the organisational flexibility of a partnership and is taxed as a partnership. In other respects it is very similar to a limited company. Talk to 1st for Business Ltd for further advice on this issue.

So let's say 1st for Business Ltd has taken the burden away from you and formed your choice of company by either conducting a free search to guarantee your choice of name is available or you may have chosen to purchase a ready made limited company.The various other options such as 'registered office' and company secretarial services are in place. A well constructed Business Plan is essential to any new venture or any existing business looking to raise additional funding. Business plans need to be directed to their target audience. 1st for Business Ltd will send you an easy to complete step by step form, many sections of which only require a tick in the appropriate box. This will be turned into a 16 page bound business plan including graphics (if available) and full financial projections. A first draft will be sent to you for your comments, and an opportunity to change any part. These will then be incorporated and a final draft sent for your approval prior to printing and binding. You then receive ten bound copies. 1st for Business Ltd have long experience of writing successful Business Plans and arranging funding for may businesses.

As Management Consultants specialising in advise from start ups to medium size Companies, 1st for Business Ltd have access to a database of 100's of "Business Angels" specialising in funding in the region of £100,000 to £500,000. You must have a Business Plan prior to proceeding. If you already have one then they will need a copy. If not they can prepare one for you as previously mentioned.

Business Angel ?

The term Business Angel is a contradiction in terms. They are generally very shrewd and some would say "hard nosed" business men looking to make a profit from their investment, which is fair enough. The beauty of it is they are also very experienced and can provide a great deal of support to a fledgling Company, apart from just investing money in your Business.

An other option is Factoring, this is where you send your customer an invoice for completed work and then send a batch of copy invoices to the factor. The factor pays up to 85% of the invoice values to you. You don't need to run the sales ledger or indeed chase your clients for money because the factor collects the payment from your customers.

Forming a limited company need not be so problematic and you can cut the red tape by contacting 1st for business Ltd . They allow you to run your business whilst they take care of the legal stuff.
