Inside UK · Company registration
You need a UK limited company set up properly — name, directors, registered office, and Companies House filing — without mistakes that slow banking or sponsorship later.
We prepare and file your company registration with the right structure, SIC codes, and People with Significant Control details from the start.
Overview
Your situation first, then the form
Registering a UK limited company is more than a name search. Wrong SIC codes, incomplete People with Significant Control details, or a weak registered office setup can delay bank accounts, contracts, and later sponsor-licence plans. We form the company cleanly at Companies House from day one.
- Limited company (Ltd) formation
- Directors, shareholders & PSC details
- Registered office and Companies House filing
Who this is for
If this sounds like you, start here
- Founders who need a UK Ltd company before trading or hiring
- Overseas directors setting up a UK presence while based here lawfully
- Clients who want structure ready before a sponsor licence application
- Anyone who needs directors, shares, and PSC filings done correctly first time
Risks we watch
Where these files usually fail
- Name rejected or too similar to an existing company
- Incorrect director or PSC information causing delayed filings
- SIC codes that do not match what you actually do
- Registered office details that create mail or compliance problems later
How we work the file
Practical checks before you pay Home Office fees
Set directors, shareholders, share structure, and PSC statements clearly.
Choose SIC codes that match the real business — important for banks and later licences.
File incorporation with Companies House and share the certificate and filings with you.
Explain next steps such as business banking, accounting, and sponsor-licence readiness where relevant.

Service FAQs
Straight answers for company registration
How long does UK company registration usually take?
Many standard online incorporations complete within one to two working days once details are correct. Complex structures or name issues can take longer — we flag that early.
Does registering a company give me a visa or sponsor licence?
No. A company is a separate legal step. Immigration permission and sponsor licensing are different processes. We can map those next if you need them.
