It takes between 2 and 5 days to get you a company number.
One of the most common questions we are asked is; How long does it take to form a limited company? Forming a Limited company is only one part of the process, and depending on your needs, it can take differing times.
Getting the company number registered takes between 3 and five days with us. This means you can get your Bank Account opened quickly, as the bank will require your Certificate of Incorporation, which we will provide. Once we have your company number, it is emailed out to you, and your Formation pack is sent to you by post. To see the contents of the formation packs click HERE.

Once the company is registered, if you have chosen to be registered for VAT & Corporation Tax, this generally takes between 10-12 working days once the submission has been made. We also make this application online and do not use manual systems to do this as it can then take longer to get the VAT & Corporation tax numbers back. We can also perform your first annual return which is due 6 months after forming your company. You do not need to submit accounts with this return and it is entirely prepared by us.
If you have any questions about forming a company, or any of our services, don’t hesitate to contact us at any time.
