Help You Register Your Company

About:

You can run your business as a company. This means the company:

• is legally separate from the people who run it
• has separate finances from your personal ones
• can keep any profits it makes after paying tax

What you’ll need to do

To set up a company you need to register with the authorities. This is known as ‘incorporation’.

You’ll need:

• a suitable company name
• an address for the company
• at least one director
• details of the company’s shares - you need at least one shareholder
• to check what your SIC code is - this identifies what your company does

You’ll also need:

• shareholders to agree to create the company and the written rules (known as ‘memorandum and articles of association’)
• details of people with significant control over your company, for example anyone with more than 25% shares or voting rights

Once you have these details, you can register your company.
