Whether you are a resident of the United Kingdom or an Expatriate, the rules for registering a company in the United Kingdom are the same. You have to register all new companies through the Companies House. The purpose of the Companies House is to help business owners incorporate companies as well as dissolve companies. They will also examine and keep all of the company information under the Companies Act as well as make all of the company information (only registration information) open to the public.

The process of registering a company in the United Kingdom can be a bit more involved than it would be in the United States. The Companies House has many requirements that you should know about before filing this way, you can understand what you need to bring when registering your company. If your paperwork is not filled out properly then you will have to fill out it again and then hand it in.

One of the forms that must be filled out is the Form 12. This form is a statutory declaration that is filed in support of the application for incorporation. This means that the information that you are providing is completely true. You will also fill it out under the United Kingdom’s Perjury Act. When filling out the Form 12, you will also have to gave all of they proposed officers in the new company sign the form as well.

You should also be aware that you must offer a street address as a business. You cannot use a Post Office Box as an address. The address will be verified by the Royal Mail and then given its approval. You will also have to have Form 12 signed by a Justice of the Peace or a Notary before handing it in. If by some chance you fill something out wrong, you just can’t change it on the spot, you have to fill out a new form and have it signed and witnessed again.

There are some filing fees that must be taken care of in order to proceed with the registering of your company. The filing fee for Incorporation is £20.00 for filing via the web, the fee is £15.00. If you already have a business and you want to change the name of your business there is a fee of £10.00. You can download the Forms 12 and Form 10 on the Companies House website. But you may want to go down in person if you can or write to them and request the forms as well as find out everything you need to complete the forms and the registration successfully.
