CODDAN CLG FORMATION
Arrange ordinary non-charitable England and Wales CLG formation, a London EC3 registered office and the first appointed officer’s London service address together. Coddan prepares and reviews the application you approve, supplies the included address services for twelve months and scans covered company and individual correspondence to your Dedicated Manager Portal.
A personal manager with every formation order. Your contact helps by telephone and email during working hours; normal formation assistance does not require paid priority handling.
The company needs a registered office; the individual needs a service address for their correspondence. ProtectPro brings the EC3 office and the first appointed officer’s London service address together with professional formation and digital incorporation documents.
£199.99 + VAT — £219.99 UK-resident base total payable. This includes the £100 official incorporation fee, £99.99 Coddan fee and £20.00 VAT. Non-UK-resident order forms do not add VAT. Checks and selected extras have separate charges.
Give the proposed company details and service choices through the single-page order form. Your personal manager helps with questions, information, documents, approval and next steps during working hours. Online access is separate from human availability and official processing.
The first appointed officer’s standard London service address is included. Several appointments do not include an address for every person. Tell Coddan which other individuals need addresses; the standard additional service is £15 per person for twelve months, with VAT according to the resident order form.
Coddan has provided formation services since 2005. Our team clarifies details, prepares suitable documents and handles approved applications. Check the Companies House formation-agent list.
Coddan CPM Limited is supervised by HMRC for anti-money-laundering purposes and registered with Companies House as an ACSP. Customer checks and Companies House verification are separate. Check the published ACSP list.
✓ Professional preparation and review · ✓ Digital incorporation documents · ✓ Company and first-officer addresses
Explain the organisation, people, address requirements and any prepared articles. Coddan confirms suitable work and charges before you proceed. A written service agreement, engagement letter or schedule is available for the accepted instruction. An initial enquiry creates no obligation to order; keep identity evidence and confidential codes out of the initial email.

Forming a limited by guarantee company doesn't have to be complicated. Whether you're setting up a community group, membership organisation or non-profit, Coddan CPM Ltd makes the process straightforward from the start. To form a non-charitable UK company limited by guarantee, you must have at least one guarantor and a guaranteed amount — and Coddan handles the paperwork efficiently, with electronic filing completed within 24 to 48 hours under authorised ACSP oversight. Their packages are transparent and affordable, with no nasty surprises. A London registered office address is also on offer, keeping your personal home address safely off the public register. Filing requirements are the same as a regular limited company, so specialists with the right expertise keep you in safe hands. Straightforward, fast and professionally managed — just the way company formation should be.
CLG ProtectPro™ combines professional formation of an ordinary non-charitable company limited by guarantee in England and Wales with a London EC3 registered office for the company and a London service address for its first appointed officer. It suits founders who need both company and individual correspondence arrangements. Coddan helps clarify the instructions, prepares suitable documents, reviews the application and handles the submission you approve. The package does not provide an individual service address for every participant or automatically include continuing company-secretarial support.
Illustration: An organiser is forming a new association and will be its first appointed officer. The association needs an EC3 registered office, and the organiser also wants an individual service address through Coddan. ProtectPro includes both, while any further officers’ address requirements are identified separately.
The company office and first appointed officer’s service address are included; continuing secretarial support is separately arranged. An address service is not a promise of anonymity or complete removal of personal information from public records.
Start CLG ProtectPro™ orderSupply the formation information through the existing order form; your manager helps with questions and approvals.
Discuss your requirementsDescribe the organisation and the remaining decisions. An initial enquiry creates no obligation to order.
The service: Arrange ordinary non-charitable England and Wales CLG formation, a London EC3 registered office and the first appointed officer’s London service address together. Coddan prepares and reviews the application you approve, supplies the included address services for twelve months and scans covered company and individual correspondence to your Dedicated Manager Portal.
Have ready: proposed name, purposes, directors, initial guarantor-members, guarantees, relevant control information and remaining addresses. Identify the organiser, who can approve and the contact arrangements. A CLG has guarantor-members rather than shareholders; ordinary incorporation does not itself create charitable status.
Coddan’s work: clarify details, prepare suitable articles and the prescribed memorandum, review the application, obtain the necessary approval and submit the agreed application electronically. Digital copies of the certificate, memorandum and articles follow successful registration.
Base price: £199.99 + VAT; recorded UK-resident base example £219.99. Checks and selected extras are separate. UK-resident forms add VAT on Coddan’s fee; non-UK-resident forms do not add VAT.
Completion and continuing services: Companies House registers the company. Keep the incorporation documents, use the agreed address and correspondence arrangements and act on relevant company information. Address and support service periods are twelve months; the company and its documents do not expire with an address-service period.
Coddan prepares and reviews the incorporation information from the proposed name, purposes, people, guarantees and relevant control details you supply. An initial consultation by email, telephone or video is available, with working-hours personal-manager assistance.
Suitable articles and the prescribed memorandum are prepared for approval. You can supply purposes for suitable Coddan articles or discuss prepared documents and particular arrangements. Further drafting is separately agreed.
London EC3 registered office plus the first appointed officer’s London service address, with covered company and individual correspondence scanned free and uploaded to your Dedicated Manager Portal. Included address services last twelve months. Guidance on Companies House verification is included; the separately charged per-person checks service is explained below. Initial minutes, membership certificates and prepared registers are not automatically included.
In our experience over twenty years, Companies House usually issues the incorporation certificate within a few hours of our submission of a ready ordinary electronic application. Preparation, required checks and approval come first; see the process below.
The base headline is £199.99 + VAT, including the £100 official fee. The UK-resident base example is £219.99. Review the itemised price, service periods, renewals and separate charges below before selecting additional work.
Receive digital copies of the Certificate of Incorporation, memorandum and articles. Keep accessible copies for the company’s records and later administration. Printed sets and authentication are separately selected or agreed.
Only services listed in the selected package’s “What’s included” schedule are included. Availability of a related service does not make it part of this package. Coddan prepares and reviews the accepted work; the organiser supplies accurate information, obtains participant decisions and coordinates the necessary approval.
£199.99 + VAT — £219.99 UK-resident base total payable
£100 Companies House statutory incorporation fee + £99.99 Coddan service fee + £20.00 VAT on Coddan’s fee. In this arrangement VAT is not calculated on the £100 official fee. Non-UK-resident order forms do not add VAT.
The base package price covers the stated formation work and included company and first-officer address services. It is not the total for every selected order: applicable checks, additional individuals’ addresses and separately selected work can add charges. Read the itemised breakdown above for the official fee, Coddan’s fee and the stated VAT treatment. The address services have twelve-month periods; formation does not have to be purchased again when an address period ends. The registered-office renewal is £45 for twelve months, and the standard London individual service-address renewal is £15 per person for twelve months. UK-resident order forms add VAT; non-UK-resident order forms do not add VAT. Additional work and charges are agreed before that work proceeds. The company and its incorporation documents do not expire with an address service.
The included London EC3 office lasts twelve months from incorporation. Its recorded renewal charge is £45 for twelve months, with VAT added on UK-resident forms and no VAT added on non-UK-resident forms. Discuss the arrangements for any other selected service before proceeding.
Address and continuing-support fees cover twelve months. Coddan’s stated fee policy is non-refundable, subject to applicable statutory rights. Clients may change an address at any time; contact Coddan about the details and any work you want us to undertake. A written agreement or schedule identifying accepted work, periods and charges is available.
Paid per-person checks, physical forwarding, printed or authenticated documents, further drafting, same-day incorporation and paid priority handling are separate. Future filings, accounts, tax work, membership certificates, minutes and prepared registers are not automatically included.
Continuing company-secretarial support is separately arranged. Normal personal-manager assistance with the formation is included; it is a different service from paid priority handling and ongoing support.
Start CLG ProtectPro™ orderUse the existing form for company details and selected services. The headline and UK-resident example above describe the base package; extra work changes the selected-order charges.
A registered office is the company’s official address, used for company correspondence and shown on the public register. It serves the company rather than an individual director. ProtectPro includes Coddan’s London EC3 registered office for twelve months from incorporation, with the covered company-correspondence arrangements described on this page. An individual’s service address has a separate function, even where both services use the same location.
Companies House explains the registered-office requirements
The first appointed officer’s London service address is included for twelve months. Checkout prevents that appointee adding the included option again with the correct address-inclusive package. Other individuals needing the standard service address are charged £15 per person for twelve months. UK-resident forms add VAT; non-UK-resident forms do not add VAT.
An individual service address is a correspondence address supplied for a person’s company role, separate from their residential address. ProtectPro includes the first appointed officer’s London service address for twelve months; other individuals’ address requirements are arranged separately. Using a service address does not make the person anonymous, replace residential information that must be supplied or automatically remove information from historical filings. Identify the person requiring the included service rather than assuming every appointment has its own included address.
Read the official explanation of personal information on the register
Covered correspondence means the company or individual post accepted within the agreed address service. Under ProtectPro, covered company correspondence and correspondence for the included individual are scanned free and uploaded to the Dedicated Manager Portal. This is not unrestricted handling of all business mail. Physical forwarding and wider mail handling are separately arranged, and the accepted coverage and contact arrangements follow the selected service.
If you choose another registered office in England and Wales, the director service address remains at Coddan’s official London office address; it does not automatically move with the company’s registered office. Alternative director service addresses cost £45–£90 per year depending on location and are arranged with Coddan in advance. These location choices are handled through an enquiry rather than extra online-form selectors.
For another registered-office location, ask Coddan to confirm the location, accepted correspondence coverage, charges and renewal arrangements before choosing it. Tell your manager which company and individual addresses you want; the two address choices should be considered separately.
Explain what the organisation will do, who its legal members will be, who will direct it and how decisions should be made. Supply the proposed name, guarantees, addresses, relevant control information and any existing rules. Founders retain their decisions; Coddan helps turn the agreed information into suitable formation documents.
Coddan considers the purposes, membership, voting and appointment arrangements when preparing suitable articles and the incorporation information. Describe the intended organisation in ordinary language; your manager helps clarify outstanding points before approval.
Our team reviews the application for apparent omissions and inconsistencies, asks for clarification and obtains the necessary approval before submission. The digital certificate, memorandum and articles give the new company an accessible incorporation record; your manager helps with the accepted formation’s next steps.
Use suitable established Coddan articles, provide purposes for inclusion in a suitable version, bring adviser-prepared articles or discuss particular membership and governance requirements. Further customisation or drafting is separately agreed. Tell Coddan about prepared articles so the handling, accepted work and charges can be confirmed before proceeding.
The online form accommodates up to five directors and five guarantor-members without an additional appointment charge in the recorded service. Individual or corporate guarantor-members can be considered where applicable. Mention other arrangements before ordering; form capacity is not a promise that every structure or instruction is eligible.
For fuller organisational instructions, see the detailed formation-instructions route on the main CLG entrance. Suitable straightforward instructions can still start online. Incorporation does not itself transfer an existing association’s activities, contracts, funds or assets.
Your organiser gives instructions. Identify the customer, payer and person authorised to coordinate details and approve the work. Supply company purposes and accurate participant information; individuals complete their own required personal checks.
Agree the company and address arrangements. Confirm the EC3 company office, identify the first appointed officer for the included London service address and tell Coddan about other people needing addresses.
Coddan prepares and reviews. We clarify gaps, prepare suitable articles and memorandum, review the application and obtain the necessary approval. Required checks and outstanding approvals are completed before submission.
Coddan submits the ready application. Our team handles the agreed electronic submission through Companies House-integrated software. Companies House decides whether to register the company and may ask a question before doing so.
Receive documents and use the agreed services. After registration, retain the included digital certificate, memorandum and articles. Use the agreed covered-correspondence and portal arrangements, and establish the company’s initial administration. Ask about separately instructed later work when needed.
Allow time to gather information, prepare suitable documents, complete required checks and approve the application. These stages are separate from the few-hours-after-submission experience described above. An incomplete order or outstanding check is not a ready incorporation application.
Need a particular date? Tell Coddan before ordering so readiness and the available service can be discussed. Same-day incorporation and paid priority handling are separate selected options with their scope and itemised charge confirmed before proceeding; standard incorporation is included.
Give the company details and approve the agreed work. Coddan prepares, reviews and submits electronically; completing an online order is not itself Companies House registration.
Digital copies of the certificate, memorandum and articles follow successful incorporation. Retain accessible copies for the company; printed or authenticated sets follow separate instructions.
Covered company and included individual correspondence is scanned free and uploaded to your Dedicated Manager Portal under the selected address service. Physical forwarding is separately arranged.
The single-page form brings company details and service choices together. Working-hours human assistance supports questions, documents and approval; online access does not mean staff or official processing are available at all times.
Use the agreed portal and contact arrangements to access supplied material and discuss questions. Formation assistance and the address service remain distinct; ongoing administration can be separately arranged when needed.
The separate checks service costs £30 per person. If the individual already has a Companies House Personal Code, this covers KYC. If they do not have a Personal Code, the same £30 covers both KYC and Companies House identity verification, including Coddan’s associated confirmation submission. The processes remain distinct; there is no second £30 charge for the combined checks. UK-resident order forms add VAT; non-UK-resident order forms do not add VAT.
Companies House identity verification establishes an individual’s identity for Companies House purposes; Coddan’s AML customer checks are a separate process for accepting the instruction. Tell Coddan about accepted verification already completed and any existing Personal Code so the work required can be identified. The free official verification route remains available and does not replace Coddan’s AML checks. Where Coddan undertakes the supported Companies House service, the individual completes the requested Credas checks, Coddan reviews the evidence, seeks clarification where needed and submits ACSP confirmation when satisfied, and Companies House issues the Personal Code. Membership alone does not mean every guarantor needs Companies House verification. The applicable director and PSC submissions remain separate tasks. The separate per-person charging arrangement is explained above.
official verification route is free
The organiser, payer and individual undergoing checks may be different people. Paying or coordinating does not authorise someone to complete another person’s checks or receive their confidential information. Identity evidence and confidential codes follow the appropriate agreed process, not an initial enquiry email.
After successful registration, ProtectPro supplies digital copies of the Certificate of Incorporation, memorandum and articles. Normal personal-manager assistance supports the accepted formation, while the included address services continue for their agreed periods. These are different from ongoing company-secretarial administration. Printed or authenticated documents, initial minutes, membership certificates, prepared registers, annual filings, accounts and tax work are not automatically included. The company must establish its member, decision and accounting records and meet its obligations. Directors retain responsibility for company decisions and obligations; Coddan can undertake separately agreed work when needed.
When separately instructed, Coddan reviews the relevant company information with you, prepares the statement, obtains the required approval and handles agreed submission. Some changes require separate filings. This work is not automatically included in CLG ProtectPro™.
Supply financial records for the accepted accounts service. Coddan can prepare suitable dormant or active accounts within the agreed scope, or handle an agreed filing of accounts prepared by your accountant, with the necessary directors’ approval. Accounts, tax work and filing have separate charges.
Discuss the company-secretarial and annual services your CLG needs. You can arrange suitable work as the company’s needs arise, without buying every continuing service at formation.
If Companies House raises a question or supplied information needs correction, contact your manager to establish the application’s status and the next step. Any additional drafting or corrective work is agreed for the actual requirement. If an address changes, contact Coddan about the details and any work you want undertaken.
CLG AddressPro™ — You need the company’s registered office and post service but already have appropriate individual service addresses.
CLGEssential™ — You have a suitable registered office and can arrange any individual address requirements separately.
CLG ContinuityPro™ — You also want twelve months of the listed named company-secretarial support.
Compare all four CLG packages. The incorporation work is the same underlying professional formation service. A larger package supplies additional address or support services; it does not create a more compliant company or automatically include bespoke drafting.
If the organisation needs charitable status, a different jurisdiction or particular governance arrangements, discuss the organisation and its options before an ordinary formation order. An existing CLG should request its actual outstanding task rather than purchase another incorporation.
You can also use the official incorporation route directly where eligible. The official online CLG route accepts individual guarantors and applications not seeking exemption from “Limited”, with supporting articles upload. You prepare and submit the application yourself; this package purchases Coddan’s work and its stated address services.
The first appointed officer has the included London service address for twelve months. Identify that person in the formation instruction. The correct package prevents the included appointee adding the option again.
No. Several appointments do not mean several included addresses. Other individuals needing the standard service address are charged £15 per person for twelve months, with VAT added on UK-resident forms and none added on non-UK-resident forms.
It supplies the stated correspondence addresses. It does not make an officer anonymous or remove all public information. Use the official information guide above and discuss your actual address requirements with Coddan.
No. The director service address remains at Coddan’s official London office. Alternative individual locations cost £45–£90 per year depending on location and must be discussed in advance, outside the simple online location choices.
The included certificate, memorandum and articles are digital copies. Printed sets, authentication, membership certificates, minutes and prepared registers are separately selected or agreed.
Normal personal-manager formation assistance is included. The named twelve-month continuing-support service is a different inclusion in ContinuityPro, or can be discussed as separately agreed work.
✓ Suitable preparation · ✓ Application review · ✓ Digital documents · ✓ Company and first-officer addresses
