   STEP 4 Registered Office
Your PLC must have an official Registered Office address, although your place of business can be elsewhere. Complete a) if you have your own Company address. Alternatively, you can use our prestige address, in which case, tick b)
 
EITHER a) Your own registered office
House No/Name:
Postcode:  
Address:
 

OR b) Use our address as Registered Office

If you want to use our address as your registered office, please tick (£60 - 1 Year)
Somerset House,
6070 Birmingham Business Park,
B37 7BF
We will forward all necessary Company documents to you and your Company name will be displayed on the the Company Board.
   STEP 5 Share Capital
Share Capital means the size of the Company, not its liability. National Business Register forms all Newly-formed PLC's with share Capital if £50,000 unless you require a higher figure. If so please insert the higher figure here (there is no extra charge for this).
 
Share Capital:
£
 
 
   STEP 6 Division of Shareholding
You need to issue shares. The total number of shares actually issued sets the limited liability of the shareholders. The division of shares between the shareholders establishes the proportion of the Company that each shareholder owns (see examples below).
The following examples illustrate these points. Be sure to enter the total number of shares issued in the LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS in the next step.

EXAMPLES OF SHARE DIVISION
  SHAREHOLDERS DIVISION OF SHARES OWNERSHIP OF COMPANY

Example 2 M. Jones

30%
S.Brown
5,000
10%
Number of shares issued:50,000

You should pay up to a 1/4 of your shareholding to the company. This can be in cash, assets or equipment. The balance can be paid at any time and is owed to the company if not paid.
   STEP 7 Shareholders
There may be as many shareholders as you like, with a minimum of two. You must insert the full Name, Address, Date and town of Birth and Nationality for each shareholder in the LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS below. You must also enter the number of shares issued to each shareholder. STEP 7 describes how to do this.

   STEP 9 Optional Additional Services for New Company Owners
There are a number of additional considerations which will require your attention when forming your new PLC. We therefore also offer a number of optional services over and above the straightforward Company formation package. You should now decide which of the following would benefit you as you launch your new PLC.
   STEP 9 A) Trade Mark Registration
We have strongly advised you to do a Trade Mark search (STEP 1) to ensure your name does not conflict with any of the 600,000 UK Registered Marks or any of the 1 million European Registered Marks. That search will ensure peace of mind.
We can also register your name, brand or logo as your unique Trade Mark throughout the UK and Europe for a fixed fee. This gives you sole rights to this name or brand and cannot be copied by anyone.
 
UK Trade Mark cost including Search
Cost £495.25
UK and Europe Trade Mark
Cost £2,000.00
   STEP 9 B) Internet Domain Name Registration
Whether you are going to have a website for your business or not we can register a unique domain name for you. We will undertake all searches, register the best name available and provide a certificate. We will provide you with a choice of names before registration.

Please enter your desired domain name:

PROTECTION OF DOMAIN NAME

All names are protected against deliberate copying ie “cyber squatting” and we undertake all legal action and court costs to protect your domain name at no cost to you. These costs can add up to many thousands of pounds and it is essential that you protect your Internet business activity by registering your important domain names through us. The protection involves specialist legal representation and filing dispute resolution cases with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) for gTLD names such as .com, with Nominet Dispute Resolution Services for UK names such as .co.uk and the Czech Arbitration Court for .eu names.

   STEP 9 C) Business Names Use

Many companies often leave ‘Ltd’ out of their title and in order to trade in this manner you must by law display full ownership details. ie “ABC Computers” is owned by “ABC Computer Systems UK Ltd”.

For this purpose and your compliance with the Business Names Act we automatically issue this extra certificate for display purposes.

There is no additional charge for this document.

If your company wants to use a different name to its company name please contact us. ie. “ABC Computers Ltd” using “Fast PC Repairs”

 
   STEP 9 D) Consumer Credit Act Search
If your company is likely to need a Consumer Credit Act Licence, a prior name search is essential.
Please tick here if required:
Cost £25.00
Please insert name to be searched below, if different to Company Name.
We can also apply for the CCA licence on your behalf including search cost, levy and application fee.
Please tick here if required:
Cost £1050.00
   STEP 9 E) Company Secretary Service
If we will act as your Company Secretary, ensuring all statutory information about your PLC is maintained, including signing and submitting specific forms for initial Registration. We can inform Companies House of your PLC's Accounting Date and issue Share Certificates, detailing them in the Shareholders Register, other statutory duties are outlined within our brochure. The Company Secretary service cost is £60 per annum. If you require this service, please ensure you indicated this at STEP 4.
   STEP 9 F) VAT Registration
You will have to register your Company for VAT, unless turnover will be below the minimum rate. National Business Register can provide a complete Registration service to ensure a smooth start to your business. We will arrange all the documentation for you and obtain the VAT Certificate on your behalf. Please supply the following information:
 
1. Address of principal place of business.
