A company formed, with a continuing contact to turn to

Illustration: A new membership body has a small committee sharing administrative work. It wants Coddan to form the company, provide its company and first-officer address arrangements and supply a named contact for questions, relevant correspondence, reminders and changes. The committee still approves decisions and separately instructs any filing, accounts or tax work.

This package adds the listed twelve-month support service to formation and address provision. It is not an automatic annual-filings, accounts or tax bundle, and directors retain their company responsibilities.

CLG ContinuityPro™: the essentials

The service: Start an ordinary non-charitable England and Wales CLG with formation, Coddan’s EC3 registered office, the first appointed officer’s London service address and twelve months of named company-secretarial support. We prepare and submit the approved application, handle covered address correspondence and provide the continuing administration assistance listed below.

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: £299.99 + VAT; recorded UK-resident base example £339.99. 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.

What CLG ContinuityPro™ includes

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.

ContinuityPro also includes twelve months of named company-secretarial support: practical corporate-administration assistance, relevant Companies House and HMRC correspondence support, reminders and guidance when circumstances change. The dedicated support section below explains this service and its boundary.

Your base price, service periods and renewal charges

£299.99 + VAT — £339.99 UK-resident base total payable

£100 Companies House statutory incorporation fee + £199.99 Coddan service fee + £40.00 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.

Review the selected-order charges before payment.

These are the confirmed Package 4 renewal components. UK-resident order forms add VAT; non-UK-resident order forms do not add VAT. The per-person address charge depends on the people whose service is required. A renewal price does not establish an automatic renewal or a formal secretary appointment.

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.

Use 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.

Company office and individual address: know the coverage

The registered office is the company’s official address. Companies House explains the registered-office requirements and confirms that this address is public.

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.

Identify the individuals who require address services rather than counting appointments as addresses. The company address and the individual correspondence address do different jobs. A service address is separate from home, but it does not make the officer anonymous or replace the other information the individual must supply. Read the official explanation of personal information on the register.

Covered correspondence is professionally handled, scanned free and uploaded to your Dedicated Manager Portal under the selected address service. Access and notification arrangements follow that service. Physical forwarding and wider mail handling are separately arranged; the service is not an unrestricted forwarding or general business-mail bundle.

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.

What the twelve-month continuing support does

If a letter or proposed change needs additional professional work, describe it to the named contact. Coddan establishes the accepted task, asks for the relevant information and approval and agrees any separate charges before proceeding. Correspondence support is not a tax-advice or tax-return preparation service.

For example, an organiser can ask about a change in officers or a Companies House letter; any required filing is then considered as its own instruction. This separates useful continuing help from an assumption that every resulting piece of work is prepaid.

Prepare the organisation and suitable formation documents

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.

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.

From your instructions to documents and address services

1. 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.

2. 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. Identify the continuing-support contact arrangements and accepted scope.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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. Your named secretarial support is available within its listed twelve-month scope.

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.

Electronic formation and covered correspondence, with human help

Companies House verification and Coddan customer checks

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.

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.

Documents, company records and later work

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.

Choose the combination that fits your organisation

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/support services.
