Want to guarantee that your company is incorporated today? Is it imperative that your company’s incorporation date is today?
Although we, like many company formation agents, advertise company incorporations within a few hours, timeframes to incorporate are always dependent on Companies House workloads.
We can guarantee a Same Day service by taking advantage of a Companies House express service (additional Government fees apply). In order to provide this guaranteed same day service, we and Companies House have the facility to identify, prioritise and process these types of incorporation applications before standard submissions. Effectively your order jumps the processing queue and is given urgent attention by both us and Companies House in order to ensure they are set-up by the close of business on the day submitted.
Please note that In order to do so, the incorporation must be submitted to us by no later than 10am.
Get your company application reviewed by one of our professional formation agents to ensure your formation application has been filled in correctly. Helps to increase the likelihood that your company is formed first time!
Please Note: Selecting this option will result in your application taking a few hours longer to complete due to it being manually reviewed before submission.

Company seals (also known as corporate seals or common seals) are used to help officially substantiate a document. Traditionally this was achieved by leaving an imprint on melted wax but these days must (including our seal) make an impression directly on the paper or on a wafer that is stuck to the document.
Occasionally seals are required to make legal documents and share certificates official, however they can also be used just to add an extra level of quality on any documents or letters.
Our company seals are high quality hand-held seals engraved with your company name and registration number and will be sent via first class post within a few days of your company being successfully formed.
All limited companies are required to maintain a statutory company register. These registers record all of the important details about a company such as the names and addresses of its directors and shareholders and how many shares have been issued along with copies of the share certificates and directors meeting minutes.

Please be aware that these folders and documents are provided as blank templates. If you require a completed set of registers with all of your company details you will need to add the 'Statutory Register & Minutes (Printed & Bound)' option to your order or choose the 'Professional' package. The completed set of registers can easily be added to these presentation folders for safekeeping.
