Service Features
You have to decide on a company type before registering a company. These are the most common company formations.
Private Limited Company
A private limited company (PLC) does not offer its ownership to the public and minimises the liability of the owners.
Public Limited Company
To register a Public Limited Company, you need a share capital of 50,000 or more – along with 2 or more directors and a company secretary.
Sole Trader Company
As a sole trader, you are the one who owns and runs the company. The owner is accountable for the liabilities or debts.
CIC Registration
The goal of Community Interest Companies (CIC) is to work for the benefit of a community rather than for shareholders or members.
Private Unlimited Company
Private Unlimited companies get a high level of secrecy for their finances as they are not legally liable to submit annual accounts to Companies House.
LLP Company
In a Limited Liability Partnership, partners’ liabilities are limited – also, they share the debts and profits according to an LLP agreement.

Service Benefits
Before launching your business in the UK, it is a legal requirement to register your company. Companies House (UK’s company registrar) is the regulating authority which may approve or reject your request. Once your application is approved, you receive a certificate that ensures you are legally compliant to run a business.
Each business is different so the desired company type will be different as well. That’s why we prepare bespoke company registration plans, according to a client’s requirements.

Why do you need a company incorporation service?
A company incorporation service helps people register a company seamlessly. You can apply for a company registration online at Companies House, but the process can be complex and overwhelming for most people. Once the company is registered, you must apply for corporation tax to HMRC. Furthermore, you will have to issue share certificates, statutory company registers, annual accounts, tax returns, and more.
If you outsource company incorporation to a third party like Octa Accountants, you can save yourself from the tiring company registration process. And you can allow us to manage the post-registration tasks as well.
How much does company registration cost?
The cost of registering with Companies House is £12. Later, you will need to keep updated records annually, costing up to £13 online and £40 via post. It will be costly and time-consuming for most businesses, unless they hire an on-site staff to manage all the tasks. But it is more cost-effective to outsource the whole work to a third-party accounting firm like Octa Accountants. We make your registration process seamless and manage the accounts to save you from such hassle.
