Business Formation in Reigate & Surrey
Start your business the right way. From our Reigate office, we handle company registration and limited company setup for new businesses across Surrey, London and the UK — and set you up to trade and stay compliant from day one.
Form your company with confidence
Setting up a company is exciting, but the early decisions — your structure, share split, registered office and tax registrations — have lasting consequences. As a Reigate-based accountancy firm serving Surrey, London and the wider UK, we make formation simple and get the foundations right, so you can focus on launching. Below is an overview of how we help you incorporate and start trading. As the rules can change, it is always worth checking the latest guidance on GOV.UK and speaking to us first.
Company registration
Registering a company with Companies House involves more than picking a name. You need to decide on directors, shareholders, your share structure, and the people with significant control (PSCs), and provide a registered office address. We handle the incorporation for you, make sure every detail is correct, and explain what each part means. Learn more about our company registration service.
Limited company setup
Forming the company is only the first step. A proper limited company setup also covers registering for corporation tax, opening a business bank account, considering VAT and PAYE, and putting in place the records and software you need to run the business. We get all of this in place and can continue to support you with accounts, tax and payroll afterwards. Read more about our limited company setup service.
Plan the costs and the structure first
Before you commit, it helps to understand the likely costs and whether a limited company is right for you compared with operating as a sole trader. We talk through the tax and liability implications for your specific situation. You can also estimate the cost of getting started with our company formation calculator, which gives you a quick, no-obligation idea of the formation and first-year costs before you commit.
Support that continues after day one
Forming a company creates ongoing responsibilities: filing annual accounts and a confirmation statement at Companies House, paying corporation tax, running payroll if you take a salary, and keeping accurate records. Because we are your accountant as well as your formation agent, we can take care of all of this for you. Many new clients combine their formation with our bookkeeping, payroll and tax services so everything is handled from the very first day of trading.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register a company in the UK? ▼
A UK limited company is registered (incorporated) with Companies House. You need a company name, a registered office address, at least one director and shareholder, details of people with significant control (PSCs), and a share structure. We handle the whole process for you and make sure the details are correct from the start.
How long does it take to form a company? ▼
Most online company incorporations through Companies House are completed within a working day, sometimes within hours. We take care of the paperwork and confirm once your company is registered, then help you set up everything you need to start trading properly.
Should I be a sole trader or a limited company? ▼
It depends on your profits, risk profile, and plans for growth. A limited company offers limited liability and can be more tax-efficient at higher profit levels, but brings extra reporting responsibilities. We will talk through the pros and cons for your situation so you make the right choice.
What is a registered office address? ▼
Your registered office is the official address for your company on the public record at Companies House, where statutory mail is sent. It must be a real address in the UK. We can advise on the options, including using a service address to keep your home address private — check the current Companies House rules on GOV.UK.
What do I need to do after forming a company? ▼
After incorporation you usually need to register for corporation tax, set up a business bank account, consider VAT and PAYE registration if relevant, and keep proper accounting records. We help new companies get all of this in place and can handle your ongoing accounts, tax and payroll.
