Company formations in terms everyone can understand

Registering a UK limited company is an area absolutely packed full of jargon.

At Company Formation MadeSimple we understand that you may not know the difference between a sole trader or limited company, who Companies House are and the part they play in company registration, what a registered office is or the options available when setting up a business. This is why, throughout our site and communications, you'll find everything written in plain, simple to understand, English. That's one of the reasons why we're the online company formation agent of choice for first time formers and serial entrepreneurs alike when it comes to registering a company in the UK.
