UK company formation · ACSP-backed

Form a UK company in 15 minutes. Then let the compliance run itself.

Every other formation service forms the company and walks away. form.law forms the company — and the moment Companies House says yes, the compliance layer switches on: your ICO duty, your first-employee contracts, your filing deadlines, all tracked and handled.

Registered as an ACSP with Companies House · UK-calibrated · your documents QA-checked before you can download them.

The difference

Forming the company is the easy part.

A limited company is live in minutes. What most founders don't see coming is the stack of legal obligations that starts the same day — and that no formation agent tells you about.

A normal formation agent

Forms it. Stops.

  • Files the incorporation and emails you a certificate
  • Never mentions your 90-day ICO registration duty
  • No contracts when you hire your first person
  • You find out about deadlines when you miss one
  • Six separate suppliers to stitch together yourself
form.law

Forms it. Then keeps working.

  • Files the incorporation with the right SIC code and structure
  • Flags your ICO duty the day you become a data controller
  • Employment contracts ready the day you hire
  • Every Companies House deadline mapped 12 months ahead
  • One system — formation, documents, compliance, in one place
How it works

Three steps to a company that's ready to trade.

1

Check the name

Type your company name — we check it live against Companies House and tell you instantly if it's available.

2

Tell us the essentials

Directors, address, share structure. We pick the optimal SIC code and prepare your Articles and Memorandum — QA-checked before they reach you.

3

You're incorporated

The company is filed and live. Your documents, your compliance calendar and your day-one duties are waiting in one place.

The moment you're live

Your company is formed. Here's what actually happens next — handled.

These aren't upsells. They're the legal reality of running a UK company. form.law surfaces each one at the moment it applies, so nothing catches you out.

Company formed You're now a data controller. ICO registration is required within 90 days — we flag it and walk you through it.
First hire Employment contracts, ready. ERA-2025-compliant terms the day you take on your first person.
Director salary Bookkeeping that meets MTD. The tax and record-keeping layer switches on when you start drawing a salary.
Filing season No missed deadlines. Confirmation statement and accounts dates tracked and reminded, 12 months out.
Start your company

Tell us the name. We'll take it from there.

Leave your details and the company name you have in mind. We'll confirm availability, the structure we'd recommend, and exactly what's included — no pressure, no jargon.
