LTD Creation
Use this service to register your company with Companies House. You will be registered for Corporation Tax at the same time.
There’s a different way to register for Corporation Tax if you’ve already registered with Companies House.
You’ll get a ‘certificate of incorporation’. This confirms the company legally exists and shows the company number and date of formation.
You’ll need at least 3 pieces of personal information about yourself and your shareholders or guarantors, for example:
- town of birth
- mother’s maiden name
- father’s first name
- telephone number
- national insurance number
- passport number
If you do not want to use ‘limited’ in your company name you must register by post.
You can also use this service to:
- register for PAYE to tell HMRC you’re employing staff (including yourself if you’re the only director)
- continue an application if you’ve already started registering
You’ll need to create a Government Gateway user ID and password for your company when you register it. You cannot use your personal Government Gateway ID.
