Company formation done properly
Starting a limited company? We'll incorporate it correctly, register you for the right taxes, set up a sensible share structure and give you a clear plan for a smooth, compliant first year.
Setting up a company at Companies House takes minutes - but doing it right takes a bit more thought. The wrong share structure, a missed HMRC registration or no plan for tax can cost you far more than the £50 filing fee ever saved.
TaxMag sets you up the right way from day one. We form the company, register it for Corporation Tax, PAYE and VAT where needed, and sit down with you to explain how to pay yourself, what records to keep and which deadlines matter - so you start on solid ground.

Company formation - your questions
Should I be a sole trader or a limited company?
It depends on your profits, your plans and your appetite for admin. A limited company can be more tax-efficient and limits your personal liability, but it comes with more filing. We’ll talk it through honestly and recommend what genuinely suits you - not what earns us the most.
How long does it take to set up a company?
The incorporation itself is usually done within 24 hours. Getting your tax registrations and banking in place takes a little longer, but we’ll have you fully up and running quickly.
Can I use your address as my registered office?
We can advise on registered office and director service address options so your home address stays off the public record where possible. Ask us about this during setup.
What do I need to do after the company is formed?
You’ll have annual accounts, a Corporation Tax return, a confirmation statement and possibly payroll and VAT to manage. That’s exactly what our ongoing packages cover, so nothing catches you out.
