FAQs About Startups, Company Formation & Trademarks

Company formation is the process of legally creating a business entity, such as a private limited company (Ltd) or a limited liability partnership (LLP). It involves registering your company with the appropriate government body, such as Companies House, and meeting legal requirements.

Registering a trademark protects your brand name, logo, and other distinctive features from being used without your permission. It gives you exclusive rights to use your brand and helps prevent others from copying it.

The right company structure depends on factors like your business size, number of partners, and personal liability concerns. Common options include private limited companies (Ltd), limited liability partnerships (LLP), and sole traders. We can help you choose the best structure for your needs.

The process of company formation is typically completed within a few days, provided all necessary documents are in order. We handle the paperwork for you, ensuring a quick and smooth registration.
