What is Company Formation?
Company formation is the process of legally incorporating a new company with Companies House. The decisions made at this stage — from business structure to governance rules — will shape how your company operates and grows.
Getting it right from the outset is essential. Beyond simple registration, formation involves ensuring the correct documentation, governance, and compliance measures are in place to protect directors, shareholders, and the business itself.
