Registering a limited company with Companies House is fast and digital. Using an authorised agent like guzz.co.uk, you can complete the process in under 30 minutes.
Step 1 – Choose a Company Name
Your name must end with “Ltd” or “Limited”. It cannot be identical to an existing name or contain sensitive words like “Royal”.
Check name availability on Companies House before registering.
Step 2 – Appoint Directors and Shareholders
You need at least one director and one shareholder. Directors must be over 16 and not disqualified.
Step 3 – Decide Share Capital
Most small companies issue 1 to 100 ordinary shares at £1 each. Standard setup: 100 shares.

A Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code describes your business activity. Examples:
-
62020 – IT consultancy
