Register a Business

Company registration is the process you need to go through to officially set up a business. For Limited Companies, Non-Profits, LLPs and Charities, this is done through Companies House.

For Sole Traders, registration is done through HMRC.

The process is slightly different based on your structure, but Duport have a comprehensive service for each business type, so you can be confident your registration goes smoothly.

The best business structure depends on your own unique circumstances, and can change depending on a huge number of things, from how many people will be running the business, to whether you’ll be taking a salary.

If you’re not sure what structure is right for you, our Quiz can make it all clear!

Just answer a few easy questions, and we can help you decide which business structure is going to be right for you - as well as the best package of services to suit your needs.

You’ll even get a free Start-Up Report that explains each recommendation, and why it will work best for you.

The Start-Up Report is a full breakdown of your business needs, to help you decide what company structure and services will work best for you.

This Report helps you decide whether you should be a Sole Trader or Limited Company, whether you should register for VAT, if it’s worth getting a Registered Office Address service and much, much more.

While the vast majority of our customers find it quick, easy and efficient to set up online, we appreciate it can feel daunting.
