www.yorkplace.co.uk did the job for us twice

Companies House does not register businesses. In fact, there is no requirement in the UK for businesses to register at all.

Companies House maintains a register of limited companies (only some which may actually be businesses).

so who would you recommend then Eric?

[Eric Mc]

I dion't tend to recommend anyone in particular. These days there are a host of formation agents on the internet who can set up a limited company for as little as £35. None of my clients (who have set up companies in recent years) have had any problems of note with any of these agents.

No affiliation, but I've used;

companyregistrations.com

a couple of times. Placed the order at 2pm, was incorporated by 4pm, and docs arrived next morning.

I guess the service is the same pretty much everywhere though, you shouldn't have any issues with any of the big players.

If you are registering a Ltd Co, going direct to Companies House is often overlooked.

Back in the day ten years ago when I registered I paid someone else because I didn't know otherwise. I didn't realise all they were doing was checking whether the name existed on the Companies House website!

Today a lot of the formation agencies use a connection to Companies House to do it. The only benefit might be if you need to register in hours and you can't wait a few days.

We used duport.co.uk, they registered everything for us.

They also do package deals to include company stamp, brass sign with the company name and registered office for the building aswell as all paperwork for share holders etc. They have also been extreamly helpful when ever we have had questions.
