A document for each shareholder showing how many shares they own. You'll often need it to open a bank account or prove ownership.

We register your new company with HMRC for Corporation Tax, so you're set up to pay tax on profits from the start.
Track your order, fill in company details, download your documents and message our team in one place — and ask us questions for as long as you're a client.
