Company Formation in Slough

Since 1 February 2026, Companies House charges £100 to incorporate a company digitally, up from £50 previously. Every company also needs a registered office address, and that address appears publicly on the Companies House register for anyone to see. Using a home address is the most common mistake new founders make, and it is difficult to undo once the company is formed.

We handle the incorporation itself, provide a registered office address if you need one, and set your company up correctly from day one. Once formed, most new companies move straight into business startup support and bookkeeping, so your records are correct from the first transaction.

Why This Matters: Your Registered Office Address Is Public

Anyone can search the Companies House register and see your registered office address, along with your directors’ names and filing history. Founders who use their home address often only realise this after it starts appearing in searches, marketing lists, and unsolicited mail. This is exactly why the address choice matters at formation, not afterwards. We provide a registered office address as part of this service, so your home address never needs to appear on the public register.

Who Needs This Service

This service suits anyone forming a new UK limited company from Slough or further afield.

  • First-time founders forming their first company

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to register a company?

Companies House charges £100 for digital incorporation as of February 2026. Our fee for handling the process is separate and quoted upfront.

Can I use my home address as the registered office?

You can, but it becomes publicly visible on the Companies House register. Most founders prefer a registered office address instead.

How long does incorporation take?

Digital incorporation is typically approved within 24 hours, though Companies House can take longer during identity verification checks.

What happens after my company is formed?

You will need to register for Corporation Tax within 3 months of starting to trade, and file a confirmation statement each year.

Will you help with my first set of accounts after formation?

Yes, we can transition you straight into our Statutory Year-End Accounts and Bookkeeping services once your company is live.
