Welcome to Company FAQs
On average there are over 1,000 company registration applications every day. Most people setting up a limited company are doing so for the first time and are fortunate if they encounter a friendly company formation system to guide them. Although the UK company set-up process can be an easy one, there are frequently situations where mistakes are made.
On some occasions people incorporate a limited company with shares when they intend to register a ltd company by guarantee. Others issue the entire authorised share capital on formation when it would have been wise to issue just a few shares. These errors are a common occurrence when using incorporation services and very easy to make, but the tasks of correcting them can be both expensive and time consuming.
