Starting a limited company shouldn't mean drowning in paperwork before you've even opened for business. As an ACSP-registered practice, Direct Assist Accountants handles your entire company formation — from Companies House registration to setting up a registered office address — so you can start trading with full legal compliance from day one.
Many new business owners register their company through generic online formation agents, only to discover months later that their SIC code was wrong, their share structure doesn't suit their tax plans, or they've used a home address as their registered office — which then appears publicly on Companies House forever. These mistakes are avoidable, but fixing them after the fact costs time and money. Our team sets up your company correctly the first time, with your future tax position and privacy in mind from the outset.
Whether you're a first-time founder in Slough or an established sole trader ready to incorporate, our formation service is built for anyone who wants their company set up properly and compliantly
