Home/Pricing

What it costs, with nothing folded in

Our fee and the Companies House fee are different amounts going to different places. Every price below shows both, because a single blended number is how agents stop you comparing them.

Formation packages

Each includes the incorporation itself. Our fees exclude VAT at 20%. Companies House fees are outside the scope of VAT.

The Companies House fee is not ours

Companies House charges £100 to incorporate a company digitally and £124 by paper. Same-day incorporation is £156. Those fees took effect on 1 February 2026 and are published by Companies House at gov.uk. We pass them on at cost — we do not mark them up, and we do not earn anything on them.

What we will not do

We will not advertise a formation for a pound and make it back on a renewal you did not read about. Address services renew annually at the price above, we will remind you before they do, and cancelling means telling us once.

Companies House publishes its own processing times. We will not sell you a speed we do not control.

Enquire

Not sure which line you need?

Describe the situation and we will tell you which of the above applies — including when the answer is that you do not need to buy anything.

Pricing enquiry

Tell us what you are trying to do and we will reply with what is involved. No obligation, and we will say so plainly if what you need is not something we do.

Permanent once registered — it cannot be moved later.
We use what you send to reply to you, and we keep it for as long as we need to. See the privacy notice.

Start with the name.

Run it through the checker — statutory rules first, then the Companies House register — and we will tell you plainly what stands in the way. Nothing to pay to find out.
