Overview of Our Off-the-Shelf Service
An off-the-shelf company is a company that has already been incorporated and sits, as it were, 'on a shelf'.

Using an off-the-shelf allows you to start trading immediately using the company as it is set up. This does not suit everyone and we have a tailored NEW-incorporation service.

Please click here for a list of our off-the-shelf limited companies and an order form.

The company will still need to have your director(s), secretary etc... appointed we also provide the completion of forms to set the company up as you require from the start.

This is a unique internet service that allows you to set up a UK Private Company limited by shares as you require.

Please see below for further details on this service. If you have any problems or further questions then please feel free to email us - replies usually the same day.

Further Details On The Off-the-Shelf Service
Please have a look at our current list of off-the-shelf limited companies which also includes an order form.
Please do not be put off by the length of the form it is quite quick and easy to fill out.

On completion of the order form we will call you for payment by credit card unless you specify a different arrangement. We send out the company documents the same day by first-class post (please see below for international orders). We also fill in the neccesary forms to set-up the company as you require from the start with regards to director(s), secretary, shareholder(s) and share capital. These forms must be signed and returned to us in the envelope provided. We then copy them and sent them to Companies House to complete the appointments or changes.

An off-the-shelf company is a company that has already been incorporated and sits as it were 'on-the-shelf'. The companies our incorporated with one director, one secretary and one shareholder. We resign all these postions, transfer the share to your nominated receipient and appoint your own director(s) and secretary.

Appointments/Changes:

  • Who the director(s) will be.

  • Who the secretary will be.

  • Where the registered office will be located.

  • Who the shareholder(s) will be and how many shares they should receive.

    The Company is incorporated with a general objects clause which allows it to undertake all legal business activities.

    Items that can be changed:

  • What the authorised share capital will be.

  • Name of the Company. We charge £25 to do this. The change of name takes about 5-7 days to complete. Once it is complete you receive a change of name certificate. If you wish to change the name please find an available name to start with by searching in our Company Name Availability Database.

    We ask for payment for the off-the-shelf company prior to shipping. Our usual method for obtaining payment is to phone you the same day to ask you for credit card details.
