Company formation documents
What you get when you
register a company
Digital Certificate of Incorporation
This document outlines your limited company information and confirms your business can legally trade in the UK. It includes:
- Company’s registered name
- Company registration number
- Company registration location (England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland)
- Incorporation date
Digital Statutory forms
These forms contain information about the limited company’s directors, secretaries and members.
Any form completed and sent to Companies House will be on the public record. This means the information, including any personal data, will be public unless the information is sensitive or restricted.
It’s important to keep these statutory forms up to date.
Articles of Association
These are written rules about running your company. Articles of Association are agreed by the shareholders or guarantors, directors, and the company secretary.
All limited companies must have Articles of Association after registering. You can write your own Articles of Association for your company, or use model ones provided by the UK government (these are default Articles of Association your company can use).
Bank account
Opening a business bank account allows your to handle financial transactions in your company’s name, with features tailored to business needs.
It is a legal requirement for limited companies and offers the advantage of keeping personal and company finances separate for tax purposes.
A business account is solely dedicated to business-related activities and operates independently from your personal finances.
