Company Formation for Harrow: the basics

Forming a limited company takes a few hours online, but getting the structure right takes thought: share classes, directors, registered office, and which HMRC registrations you need from day one. For founders in Harrow we handle the incorporation and the set-up that follows, free when you join a company plan.

Businesses in England follow UK-wide rules for Income Tax, National Insurance, VAT and Corporation Tax, with Stamp Duty Land Tax applying to property purchases. Local business rates are set and collected by the local authority.

Company Formation questions

Answers for Harrow clients. Your accountant can go into detail for your situation.

Companies House usually approves an online incorporation within 24 hours on a working day. HMRC registrations follow in the days after.

It depends on profit level, risk, how you want to pay yourself and your plans for growth. We run the comparison for your numbers before you decide; a company is not automatically better.

A limited company must have its own account because it is a separate legal person. Sole traders are not legally required to, but it makes bookkeeping far simpler and MTD easier.

Annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return, a confirmation statement each year, PAYE submissions if you have payroll, and VAT returns if registered. All of these are covered by your plan.

Our fixed monthly plans start at £45 for sole traders, £65 for partnerships and £79 for limited companies. Add-ons such as VAT returns, payroll and done-for-you bookkeeping are quoted up front.

No. IGI Accounting is an online practice serving Harrow and the rest of the UK. You work with your accountant by phone, video call and secure messaging, and your records live in cloud software, so there is nothing you need to drop off or collect.
