Pack Overview
Including all the benefits in our Privacy Pack, i.e., registered office and service addresses for all officers of the company and official post scanning, our Business Pack also includes the first annual confirmation statement.
Statutory post will be scanned and uploaded onto Smart-Doc, which will notify you automatically when you have new letters to look at. These letters can be accessed and downloaded from anywhere in the world and onto any device with an internet connection, thereby allowing you to view important mail no matter where you are. Statutory post includes mail from Companies House, British Courts and HMRC.
You’ll have an established company that is ready to start trading on the day it is incorporated. It also gives you printed certificates of incorporation, share certificates and printed memorandum and articles of association. You will also receive PDF files of this documentation, along with official minutes of the first directors’ meeting and the statutory books along with the PSC register.
A company director must sign the share certificates before handing them to the shareholders. The bank may ask to see all of the PSCs to open an account, and they will need to see the signed share certificates.
Finally, the Business Pack gives you free access to a company administration portal, thereby allowing you to easily and efficiently manage your business. We also provide free support through the portal for the lifetime of your company.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I buy the Business Pack +?
The Business Pack is ideal for companies and start-ups that intend to start trading immediately after official incorporation. In order to facilitate this, the pack provides you with an official address that can be published on all trading material along with it being kept on public record at Companies House. Your statutory post will also be dealt with, so everything will be covered to allow you to start trading. Your statutory obligations to file annual confirmation statements will also be dealt with after the first year. In most situations you will have no obligation to report anything to Companies House for almost 21 months after you are incorporated.
Do I need a UK address to register my company?
Yes. You cannot have a UK registered company that does not have its official address in the UK. The UK is divided into four jurisdictions; England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. When you place your order, you will be asked to state the location of your registered office. So if you are using our London address, your company will be in the jurisdiction of England and Wales.
What is the Company Formation Process?
Company formation is the procedure required to create a limited company which has to be registered at Companies House to be legally recognised. A properly registered company is an entity recognised in law with the legal capacity to enter into contracts, employ staff, make sales, purchase goods and services, and own assets and capital. A company is entirely independent of its owners (shareholders)The process is now online and involves submitting an electronic version of form IN01 and the Memorandum and Articles of Association..
How and when do I get my printed business papers?
Your company formation documents are the Certificate of Incorporation, Share Certificates and the Memorandum and Articles of Association.The documents will be sent to you by first class post if you are resident in the UK and you have ordered hard copies, or they are part of your order. Electronic documents will be automatically emailed to you after your company has been formed..
If you have purchased the package for Non-Uk residents and have ordered a hard copy, we will courier them to you.
