£125!! Jeez, however will you afford that?

I mean, in my case that represents 0.00008% of my total income since setting up my company...

do it yourself.

it ain't hard.

as Mal says the cost is not the question, it's just more fun to do it yourself...

As an accountant, I would say it is better to get your chosen accountant to do it for you. That way, the shareholdings, directors, co secretary, etc are set up properly having regard to your circumstances, and you have a decent set of memo and arts that don't need to be changed to suit you. You wouldn't believe the amount of time we spend "correcting" the company formations done by the on-line cheapies where the shareholders/directors havn't known enough about the process to get it right, but thought they had. And no, I'm not just saying this to tout for business, in fact, for contractors on our monthly package, we don't charge anything at all for the formation, so it is completely free - and still some want to do it themselves, pay for the privilage and get it wrong!!!

NW will do it for "FREE" as it's already included in the cost per month.
