How it works · the path to launch

Everything in the right order, so nothing gets missed.

  1. 1

    Where to begin

    Start-up advice

    Work out the right structure and the right order to do everything — before you spend a penny or sign anything.

  2. 2

    Form the company

    Ltd company formation

    Register your limited company with Companies House — directors, shares, and registered office, all set up correctly first time.

  3. 3

    Open for business

    Business banking

    Get a business bank account opened and choose the provider that fits how you'll actually take payments and trade.

  4. 4

    Get online

    Domain, email & web presence

    Secure your domain, set up professional email, and get a simple site live so customers take you seriously from day one.

  5. 5

    Stay compliant

    ICO registration & GDPR

    Register with the ICO where you need to, and get plain-English data-protection basics and a privacy policy that fit your business.
