Forming your company is the first as well as one of the most crucial steps taken towards achievement of combination of financial security and self-employment. Before you plunge into company formation, having some knowledge on the procedures concerned will certainly help with doing things in the right way.
Here are some factors that must be kept in mind before a company is registered:
- Go for limited companies: While a small company is opened, it is always a better idea to get it registered as a limited company. By opening a limited company, you can protect the directors, shareholders and personal assets keeping them unaffected by financial status of your organisation. Moreover, this process of company formation will give you as well as the employees’ significant financial immunity.
- Name your company and choose the right type: You will be required to choose a name for your company and then confirm through the registration offices that the name has not been taken up already. As soon as you have chosen a name, it is time to decide whether you want to register it in the form of a non-profit organisation, a limited company, a limited partnership company or a charity house.
- Fill in all essential documents: As soon as you are done with choosing a name of your choice, it is time to begin filling up all essential documents. Pay registration fee to the authorities and then you can ask an accountant or a company formation agent to help you out. There are some other forms to be filled out as well like forms containing information on shareholder’s right and other essentials.
- Hire good formation agents: If you feel confident about the skills possessed by your lawyer, it is fine. Otherwise, you must hire a company formation agent to facilitate completion of legal formalities. Hire an agent with adequate reputation and experience. If you have friends in a similar field of business, you can ask their opinion as well.
As soon as you have completed the above mentioned procedures, your company is all set and ready to begin the commencing operations.
