This CLG Foundation™ package is designed for organisations that know a Company Limited by Guarantee is the appropriate structure and want their incorporation professionally managed by Coddan.
The package is suitable for UK and overseas applicants and can accommodate one or more directors, individual or corporate members or guarantors, including mixed individual and corporate participation where applicable. You can also provide your specific company objects as part of the formation application.
The formation fee includes the £100 Companies House incorporation fee. Following successful incorporation, the basic digital company documents will be provided to you electronically, including:
1. A Certificate of Incorporation;We will incorporate your private company limited by guarantee using an appropriate registered office address provided by you. You can appoint your own candidates as director, member, or guarantor and, where applicable, identify the relevant person or persons with significant control (PSC).
You can provide your proposed company name, details of the directors, members or guarantors and your specific company objects through our online application process. Additional directors, members or guarantors, corporate participants and mixed individual and corporate participation do not automatically result in an additional formation charge.
Your application will be reviewed by an experienced member of the Coddan team before it is submitted electronically to Companies House. We check the information provided for obvious omissions, inconsistencies and errors and can contact you if clarification or additional information is required.
Our business consultants have broad and practical experience with company formation requirements and incorporation procedures. If you require assistance or guidance, we can arrange an initial consultation by email, telephone, or video call.
If you require basic or general information regarding our online order forms, incorporation procedures, fees or applicable company requirements, feel free to contact us on: +44 (0) 207 935 5171 or 0330 808 0089.
Formation of a Company Limited by Guarantee normally takes 24–48 hours once we have received a complete application and the information required to proceed.
We submit your completed incorporation application electronically to Companies House following our professional review. Companies House processing times can vary, so the final incorporation time may be longer if circumstances outside our control affect the application.
If you require your CLG to be incorporated more urgently, a guaranteed same-day incorporation service can be requested separately, subject to the applicable requirements and service conditions.
As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP), Coddan must comply with applicable identity-verification and customer due diligence requirements when providing company formation services. The applicable verification requirements depend on the people involved in the proposed company and their circumstances.
Directors must complete the applicable Companies House identity-verification process and, where applicable, PSCs may also have identity-verification requirements. UK and overseas applicants can use the available verification routes where eligible.
Where Coddan carries out the applicable verification process, you will receive instructions from our compliance team regarding the identification documents and information required. Depending on the verification route and your circumstances, this may include identity-document information and other verification information requested through the applicable secure process.
Completion of the required verification is an important part of the formation process. Delays in providing the required information or completing the applicable verification process may result in a delay to the incorporation service.
