The cost to register a limited company depends entirely on how you choose to incorporate at Companies House. Many options are available, but the most convenient and popular way to form a limited company is through an authorised company formation agent like Rapid Formations.
Using an agent is also the quickest way to register a new company. Our online company registration packages start from just £2.99 (excluding the £100 Companies House fee). Most registrations are approved in under 24 hours, whereas Companies House incorporation services are more expensive and take longer to process.
Registering a limited company through Rapid Formations starts at £2.99 (excluding the £100 Companies House fee). Limited liability partnership (LLP) registration costs £19.99 (excluding the £100 Companies House fee). Whichever type of company you wish to register, you will need to follow these 4 simple steps:
When you have entered all the required information to register a company , one of our hawk-eyed specialists will check your application before sending it to Companies House. Most registrations are approved in less than 24 hours.
In the unlikely event that your application contains errors or you are asked to send additional documentation, you will be notified immediately by email. Corrections can be made online, and documents can be filed electronically, thereby causing no significant delay in the registration process.
Please note: Our company registration package prices do not include the Companies House filing fee of £100.00.
When Companies House approves your application, we will send you a confirmation email with digital copies of your incorporation documents. You can begin trading whenever you like and manage your company online using our free Client Admin Portal .
If you incorporate a company using Companies House online or postal services, the registration process will take at least 2-10 days. It will take even longer if you have to correct any mistakes or provide additional documentation. These services are also more expensive than the prices charged by many formation agents.
Companies House Web Incorporation Service can only be used to form a private company limited by shares with Model articles of association .
The registration process can take up to 2 days, and you will be charged a £100.00 incorporation fee. Furthermore, if your application contains any errors, it will be returned by post, and you will have to resubmit it by post. If additional documentation is requested after submission, you must also send this by post. You cannot file these documents electronically using this service.
The postal application usually takes up to 8-10 days to process. The standard registration fee is £124.00. Again, if you make any errors in your application, it will be returned to you by post, and you will have to resubmit it. This will cause even further delay.
