Service
Company Formation Glasgow
Limited company formation and Companies House registration for Glasgow entrepreneurs, including Articles, PSC register and first-year HMRC registrations. Fixed fee agreed up front, ACCA-regulated.
Overview
Incorporate Your Glasgow Limited Company the Right Way
Forming a limited company in Glasgow involves more than a Companies House application form. The Articles of Association, share structure, People with Significant Control register, and first-year HMRC registrations must all be handled correctly from the outset to avoid problems later. Countify provides a complete company formation service for Glasgow entrepreneurs that covers incorporation, statutory records and every HMRC registration your new company needs.
Primary sources: Companies House (Companies House), Running a limited company (GOV.UK) and Corporation Tax (HM Revenue & Customs).
What you get
Glasgow Company Formation, Done Properly
Glasgow's diverse economy generates new company formations across every sector: technology and fintech from the city's innovation quarter, professional services practices converting from sole trader to limited company, creative businesses incorporating to access investment, and property investors forming holding structures for portfolio management. Each has a different optimal share structure, Articles and initial ownership arrangement. A tech company seeking SEIS or EIS investment needs specific Articles that satisfy HMRC advance assurance requirements. A family company needs shares allocated correctly between directors and shareholders. A Glasgow contractor converting from sole trader needs HMRC registrations sequenced in the right order. We handle all of this under one roof on a fixed fee, ensuring your company is formed correctly from day one.

How long does company formation take in Glasgow?
Companies House incorporates most applications within 24 to 48 hours using the standard service. HMRC registrations for PAYE and VAT can take longer. We manage the full timeline and keep you informed.
What documents are produced as part of Glasgow company formation?
We produce the Memorandum and Articles of Association, share certificates, the PSC register, and the first-year statutory books for your Glasgow limited company.
Do I need to register for VAT when I form my Glasgow company?
You must register once taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in a rolling 12-month period. Voluntary registration can be beneficial from day one if your customers are VAT-registered businesses. We advise on the timing.
What is the PSC register and why does my Glasgow company need it?
The People with Significant Control register records individuals who own more than 25% of shares, voting rights or overall control. It is a legal requirement for all UK limited companies and must be maintained accurately.
Can Countify also handle my Glasgow company's first accounts and tax return?
Yes. We offer a complete first-year package that covers company formation, bookkeeping setup, director payroll, the first corporation tax return and annual accounts — everything a new Glasgow company needs in one engagement.
