Frequently asked questions
What is a Scottish company?
A Scottish company is exactly the same as any other company registered in the UK. The difference is in the location of the registered office. A company registered in Scotland requires a registered office address in Scotland.
How can I obtain a Scottish registered office address?
Rapid Formations provide a Scottish Registered Office Service from their impressive location on Bath Street in Glasgow's city centre, at a discounted price of £12.99 for the first year. After you select a company formation package, you can add a Scottish registered office and other address services to your order.
Can I move my Scottish company to England at a later date?
No. A company registered in Scotland must remain in Scotland and cannot be moved to another UK jurisdiction, e.g. England and Wales or Northern Ireland.
How long is the company formation process?
It usually takes around 3 to 6 working hours to set up a limited company in the UK; however, this time period is subject to Companies House workload and it can take up to 24 hours to gain approval for your new company application.
What information do I need to register a company?
You will need a company name that is not already in use at Companies House, a physical address (not a PO Box) for your registered office address, and the details of your directors and shareholders including names, usual residential addresses, dates of birth, occupations and nationalities.
How many people are required to form a company?
One person is required to register a limited company in the UK. You will need at least one company director and one shareholder; however, the same person can fill both positions.
How many shares should I issue?
A minimum of one share or one share per shareholder is required to be issued by a company upon incorporation. We would recommend you issue more than the minimum number of shares to provide flexibility for future events, e.g. the introduction of new shareholders.
