COMPANY FORMATION

A business starts withmore than a name.

Every registration published by the firm begins with the same groundwork: who is involved, where the business is based, what it will do, and how it will be owned and capitalised.

Selecting the right structure decides which package applies — and with it the information required, the authority the filing is made with, the published fee and the stated turnaround.
