The fastest way to incorporation is to buy an off the shelf company, it is also often referred to as ready made company.
A Ready made company will have filed all the necessary documentations listed below with the Registrar of Companies.
The company will have been issued with a certificate of incorporation, so it can start trading as soon as you have appointed your own directors, company secretary and transferred the shares to your own shareholders, to replace the nominees (nominated persons or body corporate) nominated by our accountants. Normally, accountants at Canterbury, will handle the transfer of ownership documentations including company name change if you wish, for you and file relevant forms to Companies House.
From 6 April 2008 a limited company does not have to have a company secretary. This means that only one person is required to set up a company, you can be the sole shareholder and the sole director of the company.
Generally ready made companies formed more than one year is more attractive as it is easier to arrange credit facility compared to newly incorporated companies. Some banks do not offer credit facility including credit cards to companies less than 6 months old.
