“David, Naomi and the team are exemplary as we have used their service via 99p company formations and Walton Accountancy. The set up for a company was easy and after a year we continue to get all of our letters on time (emailed and by post), and they forward and help us with any packages. Super fast to respond to any questions we have, and highly recommended.”

“Like some of you, I was dubious about being able to start a company for the low price of 99p but fear not my friends as they go above and beyond for the price. Ben and everyone at the company are always more than happy to help with sound advice always given. I would recommend these guys and girls to everyone if I could!”

“It was reliable, efficient and very good value. They have answered my questions in full in a timely fashion. I ended up with a dormant company and there is a cost to change the SIC code, so look it up first. Other than that it's really great. Recommended!”

Learn moreWhat you need to form a company
You don’t need to be an expert to register a limited company, but you do need to prepare the right information. 99p Company Formations guides you through each step and ensures everything is submitted correctly, but before we can act on your behalf, you will need:
- A unique company name
- A registered office address (UK based)
- Director details (name, date of birth, nationality, service address)
- Shareholder or guarantor details
- Share structure (for companies limited by shares)
- People with Significant Control (PSC) information
- SIC code (your company’s business activity)
Need to change business details on Companies House?
As your business grows, it’s normal for company details to change. Directors come and go, addresses are updated, shareholdings evolve, and sometimes your business direction changes entirely. Companies House requires many of these updates to be reported promptly to keep your company compliant and your public record accurate.
Straightforward updates, handled for you
We make updating your company information straightforward without the need to navigate multiple forms or filing deadlines yourself.

Quick answers about forming and running a UK limited company.
You register a limited company by submitting an application to Companies House with details such as your company name, registered office address, directors, shareholders, and share structure. You can do this directly or through a company formation agent like 99p Company Formations, who manages the process for you. For more information, please read 99p Company Formations guide to setting up a limited company.
Most online company formations are approved by Companies House within 24 hours. In many cases, it’s even faster. Once approved, your company is legally formed and ready to trade.
Companies House is the UK government body responsible for registering companies and maintaining public records. It does not provide advice but ensures companies meet legal filing requirements.
A company formation agent handles the registration process on your behalf. This includes preparing documents, submitting information to Companies House, checking for errors, and offering optional services such as address protection and ongoing compliance support.
Yes. Your registered office and director service address appear on the public register. We offer affordable address services so you can keep your home address off public records.
Absolutely. Many companies are formed with just one director and one shareholder; often the same person. This is one of the most common setups for new businesses.
Yes. Even if your company isn’t trading, you must still file:
- An annual confirmation statement
- Dormant company accounts
We can help with both.
No. You can form a company without an accountant. However, many businesses choose to work with one later for tax planning and accounts.
Yes. We provide clear guidance on whether a company limited by shares or by guarantee is right for your business, based on your goals.
Yes. Many companies are formed with minimal startup costs. Share capital can be as low as £1, and there is no requirement to deposit funds into the company at the time of formation.
No. A business bank account is not required to register a company, but most businesses open one shortly after incorporation to keep finances separate and operate professionally.
A few words on forming a Limited Company from our partners at Walton Accountancy
- A Limited company is a legal entity. It can make its own financial commitments and pays tax on its profits. A director’s or shareholder’s personal liability is limited to the value of the shares that they own.
- A Limited company presents a more professional image to your customers, and once registered, your sole right to use that company name is protected in law.
- Agencies and contractors usually insist that their sub-contractors operate as a Limited company, or through an umbrella company.
- A Limited company can operate a small payroll for the director(s). This way, a full class 1 national insurance contribution record can be maintained.
- Directors are paid through a combination of salary and dividends and are not considered self-employed. They are employees of their own Limited Company.
- Being the director of a Limited company carries responsibilities and obligations. Accounts must be filed at Companies House (public record) and HMRC, and the costs of compliance are higher than those for a sole trader.
Please remember that 99p Company Formations are always here if you need advice on how to set up a limited company and if you help with understanding Companies House fees.
In order to meet your obligations as a director and to ensure your limited company is operating tax efficiently, we would always recommend engaging with an accountant when your company starts to trade. We offer a full range of accountancy services from limited company accounts and payroll/VAT registrations, to business advice and tax planning. All our services are inclusive of free unlimited support and advice. For more details, please visit our website on www.waltonaccountancy.co.uk or call us on 02392 593917.
