oh dear

not a good advert for contractorUK Business Services.

I'd say Brian and James need to pull their fingers out.

Re: oh dear

Can't remember which form is which and can't be bothered to look them up. However, you can certainly do the appointment of director/secretary and the share issue one yourself. The resignation of previous director, ie CUK person, must be signed by him. You should also have a form from him relinquishing the existing allotted shares to you.

What did you pay incidentally? My lastest (my dear, it is soooo common to only have one directorship) cost £54 all in with my own choice of name from Formations Direct which I thought pretty good.Think I paid about £110 for my first company and was stuck with stupid off shelf name.

Re: oh dear

£88 , there or there abouts.
I think with what they have sent me I could set another one for £20. So all is not lost. Its just a pain when you pay for a service but dont receive it. I think maybe contractoruk should think about using another comapany to do its formations.

Re: oh dear

Anyone used www.ukincorporator.com/ ?

£50 + £20 to Companies House - looks OK but do not know anyone who has used it.

I'm working for a brolly right now but depending on IR35/591, I may look into starting a Co. in April so would be interested in hearing from anyone who can recommend an easy way to set do this

Go to www.companieshouse.gov.uk and request a statup pack. All the info you need is in there. The couple of documents you need like "memo of association" and stuff can be downloaded off the internet. Just search google.

Re: ltd

I did mine through www.ukplc.net. It cost me only £42, and that was with my chosen company name.

The handled the appiontment of directors, company secreatry and share transfer very quickly and professionally too. I would recommend them to anybody.

Re: ltd

A number of accountants including us form them free of charge for new contractors!

Or, we do them for £49 all in, formed within 12 hours with own name, no forms/paperwork & clients as first officers!
