Our company was one of the original founders of the virtual office concept.
We are the original Company Formation experts, our history dates back to when Companies House HQ was actually based in City Road and is the reason why we originally chose City Road as our office location . Our team would manually lodge applications by hand across the road at Companies House, long before the internet was invented! That is a lot of history and one of many key reason why clients trust us.
Our company formation packages are fully featured and come with a whole host of additional services which can help your company get off to a great start.
There’s nothing more rewarding than starting your own company so let Capital Office turn your dream into reality. In addition to getting your new company started we can even assist you in opening a bank account.
Our pricing structure is clear and transparent, if at any time you change your mind and wish to cancel the service before we submit the company to Companies House you will be entitled to a full refund. If the company has been submitted to Companies House we unfortunately won’t be able to cancel the service as Companies House do not provide any facility to stop and cancel a submitted application.
Also unlike competitors we do not automatically charge your account and this provides a more controlled service for our clients without the fear of having a large renewal fee being charged to your card.
Capital Office is an approved formation agent listed at Companies House, so you can have peace of mind your application will be handled professionally
When your company has been incorporated we will email you the digital company incorporation documents, which will include the share certificates, company incorporation certificate and memorandum and articles of association. If the package you have chosen also includes hard copies these will be posted to you as well.
Why pay for post each month when you don’t need to? When using our virtual business address you only pay for post you receive. Unlike many competitors who add on a fixed monthly postage fee and then only include a handful of items each month charging you more if you go over that quota, we keep things simple. You only pay for postage when its required and we pass this saving onto you, our client.
With our formation packages we provide a virtual address service and this will result in receiving mail on your behalf. Our expert team process mail daily in our secure office facilities.

Most clients who are planning on running a profit making business would choose the Limited Company structure. The Limited by Guarantee is often used by non profit organizations such as clubs and charities. A partnerships is traditionally used by accountants and law firms, and is not commonly used as frequently as the Ltd Company Structure.
A Limited company (Ltd) in the United Kingdom is a company structure whose liability is limited by shares, this type of company is the most common form chosen by businesses.
The private limited company is the most widely used type of trading company within the United Kingdom. It provides its owners with protection in the form of “limited liability”. This company type is most used by people who want to start a business that is intending to make a profit.
An LLP (limited liability partnership) is started with two or more partners who have decided to start a company that will be jointly owned and run between the partners. It is a common structure but not a common as a Ltd structure which is the most popular choice.
LBG Companies (limited by guarantee) are a popular choice for charities, sports clubs and community projects, to name but a few. If you are looking to start a not for profit company then this is the preferred company structure.
A registered office address is also legally required to be displayed an all correspondence including your business website. Our registered office is in a prominent London location and will help improve your companies image whilst keeping your personal address private, secure and off public record. Our team has been based in City Road since 1971 and can be trusted to provide you with a secure and reliable postal service.
A Certificate of Incorporation is the official document that verifies your companies existence at Companies House along with the company incorporation number.
The share certificate(s) prove your ownership of the shares in a company. Shares are only applicable for a Limited Company structure.
When you register your company you need the ‘articles of association’. This is a basic text document that has information and rules on how the company will be run. This is agreed by the shareholders or guarantors / directors. With our packages we include a free generic document that is sufficient for you to run a company. You can supply your own document if you wish, however 99% of our clients choose our free generic document to fulfil this requirement.
We require some important information which will be requested once purchased. The form shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes and we offer full support if needed.
Yes, we offer a full range of different company structures. We provide a free Ltd company with most packages, but for additional fees, we can also incorporate Charity Companies, Limited by Guarantee and Limited Liability Partnerships.
A Person of Significant Control (PSC for short) is a requirement, and all companies must now have a PSC registered. This is often the same person as the director/shareholder.
A company secretary is no longer required when incorporating a new UK company.
We would recommend checking directly with Companies House to see if the desired name is available.
Tip: if you want to build a website for your new company, you may want to check if the domain name you desire is also available. This can be done through a website like Namecheap.
We would always recommend issuing 1 share at £1.00; this choice is the most widely adopted initial value. However, we can of course issue shares at your desired value, but if you are unsure, we would advise speaking to a qualified accountant before, as any decisions you make now may have an impact later on down the line.
Once your company has been successfully incorporated, you will receive the documents emailed directly to you. These include The Certificate of Incorporation, The Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association, Share Certificates (Ltd companies).
If your package includes a registered office address and officer's address service, then your residential address will remain off record and hidden from public view. Please ensure you have purchased both services if you do not wish to have your residential address on record.
Our apostilled documents service will provide you with a certificate that proves your company documents are genuine. Your documents will be legalised by attaching a stamped official certificate (an ‘apostille’) to them.
Apostilled documents are normally required by non-UK residents who have opened a UK limited company and are required to provide apostilled documents in another country.
