It All Begins with Registered Agent Service
Starting a business right begins with a registered agent—so that’s where we began. We started our journey offering services in every state, growing into the top national registered agent service with offices across the nation. This gave us the ability to better protect your privacy with use of our business address on your public documents. As an established registered agent, we started handling the state filings. We began developing free legal forms to provide extra support after formation. We even began buying our own buildings, allowing us to add more privacy-focused services, like mail forwarding and virtual office. We now offer domains, web hosting, email, and phone service so you can create a complete business identity from scratch.
But we couldn’t offer the privacy protection or the services we do without first being a registered agent service. It’s who we are. Just read Our Manifesto.

What a Registered Office Address Service Is
A registered office address service refers to an individual or firm that receives official government and legal correspondence—such as legal notices—on behalf of a business. Every part of the UK, including England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, has regulations requiring companies to appoint and maintain a registered office address.
Businesses such as limited companies, LLPs, charities, and other incorporated entities are typically required to maintain a registered office address that:
Is a physical address located within the relevant UK jurisdiction.
Is staffed and available during standard business hours.
Can receive legal documents and official communications on behalf of the business.
However, an effective registered office service should go beyond these basic requirements.

What information is required when registering a new company?
When incorporating a new company there is some key information required in order to complete the application. It’s relatively straightforward, personal details are required such as full name, contact information and address details for the company itself. A new limited company formation application also requires a registered office address for the company, a director and a shareholder holding at least one share. If you wish to keep your details private you can use our professional address services which are included with some packages. This is a good way to keep your business or personal director’s address private.
Do I need to supply any documents for a UK limited company?
When you register a company with Your Company Formations we aim to keep the process as simple as possible. No documentation is required for the company application form and in most instances it can be completed in approximately 5-10 minutes.

How do I select and register a company name?
For a client who is registering a new limited company, you will first need to ensure that the name you want is available. You can use our company name search facility on our website to check this prior to proceeding. For a private limited company the name will also need to end with “Limited” or “Ltd”, or, if you are registering a company in Wales then the company will need to end with (“Cyfyngedig” or “Cyf”).
What company formation documents are provided with my new company?
Once we incorporate your company at Companies House and your company has been approved, your company registration process has been completed. Part of the completion process will include electronic copies of your company incorporation certificate with your unique company number, share certificates (Ltd Companies) and memorandum and articles of association sent to you instantly via email. If you also select a package or product that contains printed documents these will be sent to you quickly within a day or two.
Are the director's address details published on public records?
When you register a new limited company online, you will be asked to provide correspondence address details for all directors. You can choose to publish your address or for the majority of our clients, they choose to have a layer of privacy through the use of our director’s privacy address. This enables you to keep your address on public record and helps to prevent companies, agencies and the general public from obtaining your contact information.
Am I required to appoint a company director as part of the formation process?
All UK Ltd companies are legally required to appoint at least one director who is over the age of 16. A company director has many legal responsibilities and reporting duties, they are legally responsible for the running of the company. Duties include and are not limited to, filing of accounts, filing documents at Companies House and keeping the company in good standing. A director can actually be another company, however at least one of the directors must be a person as opposed to a “legal entity”.
Why use a company formation agent?
Setting up a company is a complex, time-consuming process that requires filing different forms of paperwork in compliance with regulatory requirements. However, working with company incorporation agents saves you the time and hassle of handling the process yourself.
Your Company Formations provides adequate guidance on the suitable corporation structure for your business idea and handles and files the paperwork. And because of our longstanding relationship with Companies House and other service providers, you benefit from negotiated incorporation rates and cashback for opening your business account with our selected partners.
