£759.49
Key Features

Quick company formations

This option of the private limited company formation is the fastest process with electronic documentation to get your business started, and printed corporate documents as well.

This package is the cheap and efficient way to begin business, as the registered company, and includes the provision of a registered office address in London, the cost of forwarding official post for the duration of one year, and the provision of a nominee shareholder for one year.

Who is it for?

With this package we will provide you with a newly incorporated offshore company for you to use as the nominee shareholder of your UK company.

Your offshore entity will initially be incorporated with us acting as the director, the directorship of the company will subsequently be transferred to you, but you will not have to disclose your details on the public record of the offshore jurisdiction.

Your offshore company will be exempt from the corporate income tax, withholding tax & capital gains tax, and it will not have to disclose any information, nor make annual declarations of its activity.

Can a nominee shareholder qualify as a person with significant control?

No. Nominee shareholders are generally appointed for record purposes only, and in most cases have little or no influence over the day to day running of the business. In this case the person who qualifies as a PSC will generally be the beneficiary or/and the person(s) who hold the general power of attorney.

What do you get?

We will register your new company from scratch using one of our own registered office addresses in London, and appoint our own nominee shareholder. We may appoint your own candidate(s) as a director, but if you want to keep details of the main beneficiary owner anonymity, you may apply for the provision of a nominee director from us.

Upon registration, these details will be recorded as the original details of your private limited company with the public records.

The government fee for incorporation is included in the price of this package; as are the first year's fees for the provision of a registered office address, and a nominee shareholder.

The annual renewal fee (£290.00) for our third nominee shareholder package includes the fees for the local agent and registered office address for your offshore company, government fees of that jurisdiction.

If you request the third nominee shareholder package this will delay the registration of your UK company by between 24 and 72 hours.

The documents for your offshore company will take longer to produce than those of your UK company; please allow up to seven days for the receipt of your offshore company documents.

About when your company will be ready

The formation of a limited company usually takes as little as four to six hours from the time that your application & payment are received by Coddan. We will file your application electronically with the Companies House, allowing the fastest possible business registration.

This generally means that if you place an order before 13:00 (London time) on the normal working day; your private company will be registered by the end of that day.

Companies registration' can sometimes takes slightly longer. Although the majority of companies are incorporating within a maximum of twenty four hours, there may be occasions where the process takes longer due to circumstances beyond our control.

About the money laundering regulations and registration of your company

Due to the implementation of 2017 Money Laundering Regulations (EC Fourth Money Laundering Directive 2015/849) on 26 June 2017 it is now necessary for all Trust and Company Services providers including company formation agents (in our case: Coddan CPM LTD) to register with the HM Revenue & Customs and to put anti-money laundering systems into place.

If you will order a registered office address, or a nominee director, secretary or nominee shareholder from us, we are therefore required to ask for the scanned identification of a company members and beneficial owners of all newly registered companies via e-mail first before we can undertake to provide incorporation service for your limited company.

Within 14 days we will require you to post us a recent utility bill(s) (for past three months) showing names and current addresses of your company' members and beneficiary owner(s)', and also their passport or driving licence(s).

These can be original documents or copies certified by a solicitor, notary public or commissioner for oaths.

If you are an overseas based client you should provide us copies of passport(s) and utility bill(s) with the notarised translation into English. We can process the order immediately to incorporate your new limited company, but will not send you corporate documents until we receive required due diligence documents.
