Strong foundations, put in writing.

From incorporation to the agreements that protect partners, shareholders and landlords, we set your business up properly and keep it compliant.

III.01

Company Registration

A complete limited company formation service. Sign the forms and your company is usually ready to trade within 48 hours.

You receive every statutory document, including your certificate of incorporation, which is conclusive evidence that the Companies Act 2006 requirements are met. We also advise on the right structure for you before anything is filed.

  • Incorporation, typically within 48 hours
  • Certificate of incorporation and statutory documents
  • Share structure advice
  • HMRC and VAT registrations

Company Secretarial

As your company grows, so do its statutory duties. We take them on so that nothing falls through the cracks.

Confirmation statements, statutory registers, minutes and resolutions take time and carry penalties when they are missed. We look after all of them for you.

  • Confirmation statements prepared and filed
  • Statutory registers maintained
  • Board minutes and resolutions
  • PAYE administration as an add-on

III.03

Shareholders’ Agreement

A clear, legally compliant agreement, simple or specific to your business, that protects your personal and family assets.

Every venture carries risk. A written agreement limits your exposure if circumstances change. We draft it in plain language and explain the clauses that matter most to each shareholder.

  • Drafted to suit your structure
  • Compliant with UK law
  • Exit, transfer and dispute provisions
  • Advice on the clauses that matter most

III.04

Partnership Agreement

A 50% partner can still be liable for 100% of the debts. A tailored agreement sets out the terms before you need them.

Many partnerships start on trust and friendship, which is exactly why the terms should be written down. Without an agreement, the Partnership Act 1890 applies, and it was not written with modern trading in mind.

  • Tailored to your partnership and structure
  • Profit shares, capital and drawings
  • Retirement, death and exit terms
  • Avoids default reliance on the 1890 Act

III.05

Tenancy Agreement

The right agreement when a business runs from a family home or rents property, with the tax implications handled properly.

Running a company from a home owned by your family, or renting part of a property as an office, creates obligations for both sides. Many tax investigations start with expenses claimed without the correct paperwork in place.

  • Director working from a family-owned home
  • Property businesses letting to individuals or companies
  • Part-property office arrangements
  • Tax treatment of claimed expenses

III.06

Registered Office

A professional registered office address that keeps your home address private and makes sure official letters are read and answered on time.

It suits home-based businesses, firms opening in more than one location, and overseas companies establishing a UK presence. A proper business address also strengthens your credibility.

  • Keeps your home address off the public record
  • Statutory mail received and handled
  • Ideal for overseas businesses entering the UK
  • A credible Greater Manchester address
