About the charitable CLG incorporation procedure

We will incorporate your Company Limited by Guarantee using the information and proposed structure provided through our online application process. 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, proposed charitable purposes and 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.

Before submission, Coddan provides additional professional review of the proposed charitable purposes, company structure, members or guarantors, directors and governance approach. We review the information provided for obvious omissions, inconsistencies and issues within the agreed scope and can contact you if clarification or additional information is required.

Where appropriate, formation documentation can be tailored within the agreed scope of the package. This package does not include specialist legal advice, substantive legal drafting of complex charitable purposes, detailed public-benefit analysis or complex constitutional restructuring.

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.

When your company will be ready

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.

Successful Companies House incorporation establishes the company as a legal corporate entity. It does not automatically create Charity Commission registration or HMRC recognition. Any later registration or recognition process is separate and subject to the applicable requirements.

About identity verification and compliance requirements

As an Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) and Trust and Corporate Service Provider (TCSP), 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.
