Frequently asked questions

Do I need to supply proof of ID?

All company formation agents have a legal obligation to check proof of ID and address, including ourselves.

Don't worry - the likelihood is you will not have to do anything, as 90% of our customers successfully pass our digital ID checks.

If you don't pass our digital ID check, do not worry - almost all of our customers are able to provide their proof of ID and address via our Credas App. For more information, see here.

When can I start trading through my new company?

You can begin trading when your application is approved by Companies House. This usually takes no more than 3 to 6 working hours, depending on Companies House current workload.

Should you require to register a company urgently, we offer a Guaranteed Same Day Service which can be added to your order. If you choose to start trading immediately, you must register your company with HMRC for Corporation Tax within 3 months.

No, you get PDF digital documents only, but these can be downloaded and printed off at any time. Alternatively, you can choose the Compliance Package, or you can order paper documents from your customer area on our website at any time after incorporation.
