Any person who is an undischarged bankrupt is prohibited from registering a limited company in the UK and being appointed as a director or company secretary. Undischarged bankrupts may only hold shares in private companies limited by shares.
Any persons currently named on the Disqualified Directors Register may not register a limited company or limited liability partnership - any disqualified director whose ban has not yet been served in full is not permitted to act as a company director, company secretary or LLP member, unless permission is granted from the appropriate Court. Such individuals may only hold shares in private companies limited by shares.

Ordering our products and services
You are presented with a range of choices during the ordering process. It is your responsibility to ensure you read and fully understand these choices before proceeding with any purchase. Should you have any queries regarding our products and/or services, or any aspect of your order, we strongly recommend that you contact us during our usual UK business hours prior to proceeding with any purchase.
Whilst we endeavour to provide a prompt response to your enquiry, we cannot guarantee to do so in every instance. It therefore remains your responsibility to elicit further information from us regarding the product you intend to order before the order is placed.
All orders that you place through this Website are deemed to be an offer by you to purchase the products and/or services that we supply, subject to these Terms and Conditions and our acceptance of the order. We may choose to reject any order without disclosing our reason for doing so.
We only provide services on the basis that you have given us full and proper instructions and the authority to lawfully carry out those instructions. You undertake to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide for us, and you accept all liability for the rejection of any services or documents due to inaccuracies or incompleteness.
We do not accept any liability of whatever nature for errors or omissions in documents that are uploaded, or not uploaded, to our website by you, or for any such documents which are subsequently rejected by Companies House.
Where orders are made for our Pre-Submission Review, this review will not extend to reviewing or inspecting documents uploaded to our website - it is your responsibility to ensure completeness, compliance and accuracy of all such documents prior to their submission.
By accepting these terms and conditions, you are granting us authorisation to file with Companies House as an authorised person for, and on behalf of, the company, the statutory forms required to implement the services you are agreeing to take under this agreement for the full term of the agreement. If said services are cancelled, terminated, or shall expire as a result of failing to make the required payment, you are granting us authorisation to file the statutory forms required to terminate these services.

We are regulated by the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (“MLR 2017”) and by accepting these Terms and Conditions you are granting us authority to carry out a digital ID verification check by W2 Dataglobal or similar organisation for the purposes of checking your identity and address. This online check may be recorded on your credit record, and a record of the search will be retained.
Should we not be able to successfully verify your identity and address using our digital ID verification process, we will require you to provide proof of your identity and address in the form of certified copies of the original documents to satisfy our Anti-Money Laundering procedures. Failure to comply with any request for such documents may result in the cancellation of services. No refund shall be given for the cancellation of services resulting from a failure to comply with our Anti-Money Laundering procedures.
As a Company Service Provider we have a responsibility to carry out due diligence checks from time to time on our customers (companies, officers and shareholders) to which we provide ongoing services. Should any of our checks result in the discovery of illegal or unethical activities, we reserve the right to terminate services without notice and without refund.
We also have an obligation to meet the requirements of 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) and you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire on the business activity or activities of your company and the reason for your business relationship with Same-Day Company Services.
Our services are not available for purchase where the end user is a Scottish Limited Partnership (Scottish LP). All such purchases will be refunded and the services will not be set up.
Incorporation process
Same-Day Company Services is a specialist online company formation agent. We use secure electronic filing facilities that are made available from Companies House - the UK Registrar of Companies and via a third party filing company E-Filing. By choosing to register a company through us, or authorising us to file information on your behalf, you accept that all information will be submitted to Companies House via this electronic filing facility.
Provided you have complied with the formalities necessary to register a company through us, Companies House will generally complete the incorporation of your company within approximately 3 to 6 working hours (Monday - Friday, 9am-5pm), however, in some cases it could take up to 24 hours - dependent on Companies House workload. We have no control over this process; therefore, it may take longer than the usual processing time of 3 to 6 working hours.
We offer no guarantee your company application will be approved on the same business day as you make your order. If it is important that your company is incorporated on the same day as you make your order, we recommend you purchase the Guaranteed Same-Day Service, which is available as an additional service on our checkout page, up to 3pm Monday - Friday.
Company registration service
Upon notification from Companies House of successful incorporation, your new limited company or limited liability partnership will be ready to trade immediately.
You will receive a Certificate of Incorporation and other company formation documentation and services as described within the incorporation package you purchased on our Website.
Optional additional products and services
In addition to the formation of the company and the company documents described above, you may optionally order additional products and/or services through Same-Day Company Services, depending upon the incorporation package you choose. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
These products and services may be added to your company formation package prior to incorporation, or they may be purchased after incorporation for an existing company.
Our services do not include any of the following in respect of any of the packages and products we offer for sale on our Website:
We strongly recommend that you seek independent advice before registering a company through us. If you have not yet taken such advice, we would advise you do not proceed with any purchase until you have done so. We are able to provide you with contact details for accountancy and tax services if you require them.
When you purchase a Registered Office and/or Service Address from us, you are agreeing to use our Digital Mailroom Service, whereby all official government mail from governing agencies such as Companies House and HMRC, will be received at our address, securely opened and scanned by our automated mail handling equipment and sent to you by email. All original copies of your mail will be securely stored for a period of 28 days, during which time you will be able to request they are forwarded to you by Royal Mail post. After the expiry of 28 days, unclaimed mail will be securely destroyed.
If you purchase a Registered Office or Service Address from us without registering an account with us, we are not responsible for updating this information at Companies House on your behalf - you are responsible for ensuring this information is registered with Companies House and updated on public record.
We will only update your registered office and/or service address details at Companies House if you add one or both of these address services to one of our company formation packages, or you create an account with us and import your company onto our website prior to purchasing one or both of these address services.
When you purchase an address service from Same-Day Company Services, you are authorising us to receive, sort and forward mail on your behalf.

If payment for renewal of a Service Address service has not been made on or before the anniversary of the date of the previous payment, or you have failed to provide the required ID, you will be deemed irrevocably to have authorised us to change, with immediate effect, your Service Address to your residential address or any other address you have previously provided us for this purpose.

This new address information will be registered with Companies House and displayed on public record.
Same-Day Company Services reserves the right to cancel an address service with immediate effect should we believe you have caused a palpable risk to our reputation and/or business.

Multiple companies cannot use a single address service. If you require an address service for multiple companies, you require purchasing a separate service for each company.
With regards our Business Address Services, each company can have a maximum of one other trading name, which cannot be another limited company, or a trading name associated with another limited company. Post will not be forwarded for trading names unless prior agreement has been sought and received by the customer, and mail for trading names we have not entered into agreement for, will be returned to sender on the same day it is received.
Should we receive mail returned to ourselves which has previously been forwarded by ourselves to the forwarding address we have on file for the customer, we will contact the customer to clarify the forwarding address we have on file. Any returned mail which is subsequently re-sent by post to the customer will be charged at Royal Mail postal rates + 15%, unless we are satisfied an error has been made by ourselves.
The price of any goods or service that you may purchase from us is set out under the option you select on our Website. Unless otherwise stated, all prices exclude VAT at the prevailing rate on the date of purchase.
The total purchase price, including VAT (if any), will be displayed in your shopping cart prior to your confirming the order.
We reserve the right to update the prices on the Website of any products or services without prior notice or explanation. Every effort is made to ensure that all prices are correct; however, in the event of serious error, any transaction shall be voided by us, entitling you to a full refund.
We reserve the right to update, amend, or withdraw the products and services that we offer on our Website without prior notice or explanation.
We shall not be liable to anyone for withdrawing or amending any of the products we sell, or for refusing or failing to process an order.
