The information you need to set up your own limited liability company easily and inexpensively.

Are you an entrepreneur who wants to set up a limited company? Are the demands of starting or running a business preventing you from carefully considering your options, assessing your situation and doing the necessary planning for the future? This kit can help you.

Our Limited Company Kit explains what a limited company is and provides you with everything you need to set up your own, with a registered office in England, Wales or Scotland and with a minimum of two directors, at a fraction of the cost of an 'off-the-shelf company'.

It explains the procedures involved from naming the company to filling out the forms. There are sections on the issues you will face after incorporation such as taxation, transfer of assets, management of the company, the shareholders and post-incorporation changes.

It also includes detailed but easy-to-follow instructions, background information and Companies House forms, Memoranda of Association, Articles of Association and examples of directors' resolutions.

For use in England & Wales and Scotland.

Note: This Kit cannot help you to form a limited company by guarantee.
