Company Incorporation for start-ups.
We handle the entire incorporation process for you:
- Draft memorandum and articles of association
- Register for Corporation Tax with HMRC (deadline: 3 months from trading)
- Obtain your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR)
- Set up Companies House authentication for ongoing filings
We are an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), meaning we can verify your identity as part of the incorporation process.

Once your company is live, we ensure you never miss a deadline:
- Corporation Tax: Year-end returns and payment planning
- PAYE & RTI: Register as an employer if you take a salary (even just yourself)
- VAT: Advise on voluntary vs. compulsory registration threshold (VAT)
- Self-Assessment: For directors with additional income sources (Self-Assessment Tax Returns)
- Confirmation statements: Annual filing with Companies House
Tax-Efficient Director Remuneration
One of the most valuable areas we advise on is how to pay yourself. The most tax-efficient strategy for a start-up director is rarely a simple salary.
We help you design a remuneration structure combining:
Salary (up to the National Insurance secondary threshold)
Dividends (taxed at lower rates than salary)
Pension contributions (tax-deductible for the company)
Expenses (legitimate business costs)
Director's loan account (flexible access to funds)
We model different scenarios so you can see, in pounds and pence, the optimal approach for your situation.
