Get your business set up and ready to be found.

Companies House setup through an authorised partner, plus Google Business Profile setup and verification support for new trade businesses.

Discuss this service

Starting a trade business comes with more than a name.

You may need a limited company registered, business details brought together and a Google profile that accurately represents your work. We coordinate the agreed setup so you know what needs doing, who is handling it and what we need from you.

Companies House setup through an authorised partner.

Company formation and Companies House identity-verification work are handled through our authorised partner. We coordinate the handover and progress, while the partner handles the agreed registration and verification steps. We confirm the partner, their role, required information and all fees before you commit.

A complete Google profile for your local area.

We help eligible businesses create or claim their Google Business Profile, complete service information, choose appropriate categories and add contact details, opening hours and genuine photographs. We guide you through the verification steps Google makes available. Google decides the method and outcome; you may need to provide evidence or complete a video check yourself.

A clear handover, with room to grow.

Once the agreed setup is complete, we explain what has been delivered and the next steps. You retain ownership of your Google profile. Website design, business email setup, SEO and ongoing profile support can be scoped separately when needed.

Know who is doing each part

Your proposal identifies the authorised partner and the company formation or Companies House verification work they will handle. It also describes our coordination and any website or Google profile work. We agree the handover and required information before work starts, so you know who to contact and which steps need your involvement.

Provide information through the agreed secure route

Company setup can require personal and business information. We explain the partner’s approved submission process rather than asking you to send identity documents through the website enquiry form. The partner confirms the evidence and checks needed for their service. You remain responsible for checking the accuracy of the details submitted.

Plan the online presence alongside formation

Registration does not itself create an online presence or generate customers. We can scope a website, consistent business details and an eligible Google Business Profile around your confirmed business. The marketing can then explain your services, coverage and quotation process so potential customers understand what you offer.

Separate setup from ongoing obligations

Our quote shows the selected setup work, partner charges and official fees. Ongoing filings, accounting, tax advice and recurring marketing are separate unless expressly included. We confirm what has been completed and what remains for you or another provider. Companies House and Google approval times are outside our control.

THE PROCESS

How we deliver it

  1. Tell us what is already in place and whether you need company formation, a Google profile or both. We agree the scope, partner and costs.
  2. Supply the details requested through the agreed secure channels. Our authorised partner handles Companies House work; we prepare the Google profile with you.
  3. Complete any owner verification steps and review the details. We confirm the outcome of each part and hand over the agreed setup.

USEFUL TO KNOW

Your questions, answered.

Do you register the company yourselves?

Companies House setup is completed through our authorised partner. We coordinate the process and keep you informed. The proposal identifies the partner and the services they will deliver.

Can I get help with Google without forming a limited company?

Yes. We can scope Google Business Profile support separately for eligible sole traders and limited companies.

Can you guarantee Google verification?

No. Google controls eligibility, verification methods, approval and timing. We help you prepare accurate information and complete the available steps, but cannot promise approval or a particular search position.

What does it cost and how long will it take?

Pricing is bespoke. We confirm the scope, partner charges and official fees before work starts. Timescales depend on the information supplied and checks by the partner, Companies House and Google.

Does setup include ongoing filings or accounting?

Only work expressly included in your quote is covered. Ongoing filings, accounting and tax advice are not included unless separately arranged with an appropriate provider.
