Guaranteed Same Day Service

Guarantee your company is incorporated today. Quality Company Formations process most applications within the advertised 3 to 6 working hours; however, due to Companies House workloads, there is no certainty this can always be achieved.

If it is of the utmost importance your company is registered today, you can take advantage of Companies House’s express service, which fast tracks applications and guarantees registration before the close of business today.

Please note: We must receive your order and Proof of ID (if required) no later than 3pm (Monday to Friday). Should we not receive all required information by this time, we will not be able to provide the same-day service, and you will receive a refund for this service.

If you change your mind and decide you no longer need your company, within the first 12 months of forming it, we will close the company for you.

Our Company Dissolution Service normally costs £69.99 and so, by purchasing this product you will save £60.00.

This product includes the Companies House fee, completion and filing of the DS01 form (the application to strike off a company), Board Resolution to approve the dissolution, and continued use of our Registered Office and Service Address until your company is closed down.

VAT Registration

Allow our highly trained staff to handle the formalities of your VAT registration.

If your turnover is expected to exceed £90,000 in the next 12 months, it is a legal requirement to register for VAT, unless the supplies are exempt.

If your turnover is not expected to exceed £90,000, there are a number of reasons why many companies choose to register for VAT voluntarily. For example:

• The ability to claim back VAT on goods and services purchased by the company.
• Raise the corporate image of the company, by appearing to be bigger than you actually are.
• Enable deals with suppliers and customers who are not willing to deal with companies that are not VAT registered.

The VAT registration process explained

As soon as your company is incorporated, we will send you a questionnaire by email, asking for some additional information necessary to complete your VAT registration application with HMRC.

We will then apply for your VAT registration online. The timeline for the approval of new VAT registrations is subject to the information received and HMRC's workload, which can vary significantly.

Once your VAT registration has been approved, we will send your VAT Registration Number to you by email. Your VAT Registration Certificate will be sent to you by post by HMRC.

PAYE Registration

If you have employees or directors who will be taking a salary from your company, it is a legal requirement to register for PAYE with HMRC.

Failure to register promptly can result in penalties, so why not let our highly trained staff take care of this for you to ensure everything is processed correctly.

The PAYE registration process explained

As soon as your company is incorporated, we will send you a questionnaire by email, asking for some additional information necessary to complete your PAYE registration application with HMRC.

We will then apply for your PAYE registration online. This process normally takes around 3 weeks, and all of your PAYE information will be sent to you by post directly from HMRC.

If your first payday is less than 3 weeks away, do not be concerned. You should process your salary or salaries on the date of your first payday, and complete your PAYE return when you receive your registration information from HMRC. If your first filing is late, HMRC will take into account the timing of your registration, so there should be no issues arising from this filing.

ICO Registration Service

Our expert team will handle the administration of registering your company with the ICO.

Most UK Companies must register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) once a year for the purposes of data protection, with the exception of a very small number which are exempt.

We recommend registering your company with the ICO because:

• Your company could receive a fine of up to £4,000 for not registering
• Your company will be listed on the ICO’s public register of fee payers, which will enhance your corporate image
• You’ll be able to display your ICO Registration Number on your website, showing the world you take your data protection responsibilities seriously

The process for ICO registration explained

Once you have placed your order, we’ll email you a questionnaire, which asks for some more information required to complete your ICO registration.

We’ll then make an application for your ICO registration. It can take up to 10 days for your registration to be approved by the ICO.

Once your registration with the ICO has been successfully approved, we’ll send you your ICO Registration Number and ICO security code by email.

Please note: This Service includes the ICO registration fee of £40.00, payable to the ICO.

Your service will automatically renew every 12 months at a cost of £79.99 plus VAT.
