Questions

Company formation answered.

Everything about forming your UK limited company.

How long does UK company registration take?

With Machinence, most applications are filed with Companies House the same day you apply. Once submitted, Companies House typically approves and issues your Certificate of Incorporation within 24 to 48 hours on working days.

What does the formation service include?

Everything. The Companies House government filing fee (£50), your Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, share certificates, ID verification, registered office for 12 months and post-formation compliance tracking. No hidden extras.

Do I need a solicitor to form a limited company?

No. Machinence generates all the legal documents you need automatically. Your Memorandum and Articles of Association, share certificates and all statutory documents are produced instantly and comply with the Companies Act 2006.

What is a registered office address?

Every UK limited company must have a registered office address in England, Wales or Scotland. This is the official address where Companies House and HMRC send correspondence. You can use your home address, a director address or a professional address service.

Can I change my company details after formation?

Yes. Machinence handles registered office changes, director updates, share allotments and confirmation statement filings after your company is incorporated. Changes are filed directly with Companies House through the platform.

What happens after my company is formed?

You get instant access to the Machinence compliance dashboard, which tracks every filing deadline from your first confirmation statement to your annual accounts. You also receive step-by-step guidance on registering for Corporation Tax with HMRC.
