Our Services
At Foerster Business Solutions Limited we offer a wide range of business solutions to assist new or established companies. Below is a detailed commentary on the services we offer. Many of these are included within our various formation packages but they can also be purchased seperately.
Limited Company Formation - As stated on our homepage we are company formation agents. Choosing any one of the packages on offer will mean having your own limited company formed quickly and easily. The company is formed at the time of order and is not what is termed "off the shelf". The advantage in this system is that all the relevant details of directors and shareholders etc. are entered at the time of formation and this removes the requirement to fill in change of detail forms that used to be used before online registration was available. It only takes 4 easy steps to successfully register your UK limited company.
- Use the free company search to see if your chosen name is available.
- Complete the online form with your details
- Enter your preferred payment information
- Finally submit your application for company registration
We will then track your application at Companies House and providing the name of the company passes Companies house guidelines we should have your company registered within 4 hours, providing the application was submitted before 11am.
Ready Made Companies - We have a limited number of "Off the Shelf" companies. These are sometimes desirable as they are longer established than our newly formed companies. To view the companies available please click here
Registered Office Service - All businesses must have a registered office to receive official mail. Official mail consists of corespondence from companies house and other government agencies together with mail from uk courts. Many of our clients prefer not to have official mail delivered direct to their trading address (for example if this is also their home address) and therefore choose our registered office service. All official mail is recieved and then forwarded on to an address of your choice. The cost of this service is £55.00 + VAT per annum for our Manchester & Lancashire offices, £95.00 + VAT per annum for our London Westminster office & £195.00 + VAT per annum for our London North office (but this does include general mail forwarding for 12 months - Postage to be invoiced quarterly). General mail can also be forwarded on at a price of :-
£35.00 + VAT per annum plus postage with a 25% handling fee for our Manchester & Lancashire offices.
£45.00 + VAT per Month plus postage with a 25% handling fee for our London Westminster office.
Offshore Companies & Banking Arrangements - We are able to offer an array of offshore companies and banking arrangements in many different countries. Due to unpleasant changes in legislation or tax policy in some offshore havens we no longer recommend and offer corporations and banking in the jurisdictions of Switzerland . Our professionals are carefully and continuously analysing available offshore tax havens and have selected those which offer the best opportunities to the clients. The offshore jurisdictions where you can save on taxes and being offered include; BVI, Bahamas, Cyprus, Delaware, Cayman Islands and Gibraltar. As the options in offshore company formation are so varied it is not possible to place an order via our web site. For more information please email us or ring 0844 8845058
