5: Requirements for company incorporation via our website

Company Name and Registered Offices:

Choosing a Company Name: When incorporating, selecting a suitable company name is crucial. Ensure that your chosen name is not already listed in the Registrar of Companies. Additionally, check against the UK Intellectual Property Office’s trademarks register to avoid infringing on existing trademarks.

Name Considerations: Your business name should not mislead or harm the public. Certain words and phrases require approval from the Secretary of State.

Registered Office: You must designate an official address for your business, known as the registered office. Government agencies, such as HMRC, will send important legal notices and updates to this address.

Members, Officers, and Persons of Significant Control (PSC):

Directors and Officers: The number of directors and officers required depends on the type of business. For private companies, at least one director is necessary (unless specified otherwise in the company’s constitution). Public companies need at least two directors, one of whom must be an individual.

Persons with Significant Control (PSC): Identify all PSCs (usually shareholders or guarantors) who have significant control over the company.

Minimum Age Requirement: Individuals under 16 years old cannot register limited companies or limited liability (LLPs). Only those meeting the legal minimum age can hold positions as directors, company secretaries, or LLP members. Shareholding is restricted to private companies limited by shares for underage individuals.

Bankruptcy Restrictions: Undischarged bankrupts are prohibited from registering a limited company and holding director or company secretary positions. They may only hold shares in private companies limited by shares.

Disqualified Directors Register: Individuals listed on the Disqualified Directors Register cannot register a limited company or LLP. Disqualified directors cannot act as company directors, secretaries, or LLP members unless granted permission by the appropriate court. Shareholding is limited to private companies limited by shares for disqualified directors.

Responsibility and Liability: The company formation applicant is responsible for ensuring all named persons meet legal requirements. Rejections or issues arising from appointing ineligible individuals are not the responsibility of the registration service.

Memorandum and Articles of Association:

Memorandum of Association: The memorandum declares the company’s intent to establish a business and become a member upon creation. It is now part of the Articles of Association, containing constitutional regulations.

Articles of Association: These legally binding internal rules define procedures within the company. They cover topics such as dividend payments, director responsibilities, voting rights, and decision-making processes.

Share Structures (Where Relevant):

When incorporating a company with share capital, decide the number of shares to issue. Shares represent a shareholder’s ownership in the business.

Nominal value determines financial obligations. Most businesses assign a nominal value (e.g., £1) to each share.

Provide a statement of capital and details of initial shareholders during incorporation.

Choosing an SIC Code:

When applying, include the Standard Industry Classification (SIC) code to describe your company’s business operations. You can input multiple SIC codes if applicable.
