What is Covered in Our Company Formation Service?

There’s a little more to forming a company than registering a name with Companies House.

We’ll guide you through the process and help you make the right decisions for your new business. This can include registering your company with Companies House, setting up the appropriate company structure and dealing with the details surrounding directors, shareholders and shares.

We’ll also talk you through the accounting and tax responsibilities you’ll have once the company is up and running. That way, you’ll know what’s expected of you and when, rather than discovering important deadlines further down the line.

Whether you’re starting a brand-new business or moving from being a sole trader to a limited company, we’ll make the process as straightforward as possible.

What Are the Benefits of Our Company Formation Services?

You can form a limited company yourself, but having an accountant involved from the beginning can make life much easier.

One of the biggest benefits is knowing that your company has been set up with your wider circumstances in mind. The decisions you make at the formation stage can affect how you take money from the business, your tax position and the way the company is run in the future.

We’ll help you understand those decisions without drowning you in technical language.

You’ll also have someone to turn to when questions come up. From Corporation Tax and annual accounts to VAT and payroll, we can help you stay on top of your responsibilities as the business develops.

It means less time trying to work everything out yourself and more time to focus on getting your new business off the ground.

Why Choose Davenports for Your Company Formation Service?

We know that starting a company isn’t just a paperwork exercise. There’s usually a much bigger plan behind it.

That’s why we take the time to understand what you’re looking to achieve before helping you get set up. We’ll explain your options clearly, answer your questions and make sure you know what your responsibilities will be once your company starts trading.

You’ll also have access to a team that can support you beyond the initial company formation. As your accountants, we can help with your annual accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT, payroll, tax planning and the other financial matters that come with running a business.

Our approach is simple: practical advice, clear answers and support when you need it.
