Company Formations
Helping you set up your business the right way
Reliable and thorough company formation support
Company formation is the process of creating a legal entity that is separate from its owners, allowing the company to enter into contracts, own assets, incur liabilities, sue and be sued, and pay taxes in its name.
This separation between the business and its owners provides protection and benefits, ensuring the company can operate as an independent entity.
Forming a company correctly from the start is essential for compliance, governance, and long-term success. Whether you’re launching a start-up or expanding into a new venture, we make sure the process is straightforward, compliant, and tailored to your needs.

FAQs
What are the benefits of having a limited company?
A limited company offers protection by separating your personal assets from the company’s liabilities. It can also enhance your professional image, offer potential tax efficiencies, and make it easier to raise capital or secure investment.
Can I form a company myself?
Yes, you can form a company yourself through Companies House. However, using a professional service ensures the process is completed accurately, in compliance with all legal requirements, and avoids common mistakes that could cause delays or issues later.
What is a Person of Significant Control (PSC)?
A PSC is someone who owns or controls more than 25% of the company’s shares or voting rights or has the right to appoint or remove the majority of directors. PSC details must be recorded and reported to Companies House as part of your statutory obligations.
What are the benefits of different share types?
Different share types can offer flexibility in voting rights, dividend payments, and capital distribution. This allows businesses to structure ownership in a way that meets their needs, such as rewarding key staff or attracting investment.
How quickly can my company be formed?
With our service, most companies are incorporated within 24 hours once we have received all the required information and documentation.
How can Hayward Wright help maintain my statutory records?
We manage the process from start to finish, recording changes, preparing the necessary forms and board minutes, submitting filings to Companies House where required, and ensuring your records remain accurate, compliant, and ready for inspection.
