Setting Up a Company in West Yorkshire: What You Need

Registering a company in West Yorkshire follows the same process as anywhere in England and Wales. But your choice of workspace and business address should be local. Here is a practical guide.

Step 1: Register at Companies House

File online at gov.uk. Cost: £12. Processing: usually 24 hours.

Step 2: Choose Your Registered Office

Must be in England and Wales. For a West Yorkshire address, a Leeds virtual office provider (Leeds LS4 2EW) is Companies House ready from £70/month. See company formation address guide.

Step 3: Register for Tax

Register for corporation tax with HMRC within 3 months of starting to trade.

Step 4: Find Your Workspace

See our starting a business in Leeds guide for workspace options from £70/month (virtual) to £1,895/month (premium suite).
