Things are smooth over at Start Up A-Z, a Manchester company that offers free company formation services. Remarkably, they save you the £100 Companies House fee, which is now standard for online registration in the UK.

The no-fee is possible by registering for a business account with ANNA Money, where you pay the fee and receive a refund once you’re approved. It’s hardly difficult to get approved, as long as you have the requirements.

We can confidently say that company registration is hassle-free—for start-ups, that is. While it’s a bummer for other business owners, it’s a wise choice for new ventures that need a lending hand.

For instance, most clients appreciated the convenient services they offer for new businesses. As a virtual office, they can provide a registered business address, mail handling, meeting room, phone answering, and document filing.

Their rates won’t hurt your pocket either, as a basic package starts at £9.99 per month, plus VAT. That, and the refunded £100 fee, and you can save a tonne setting up a new company.

Company opening process is very smooth

“I’d give 10 stars if I could. Company opening process is very smooth and phone support is very helpful and useful. It took 2 days or less to open me a company with no charge!!”

Thoroughly impressed by their outstanding customer service

“I recently worked with BSC for my company formation and was thoroughly impressed by their outstanding customer service.

Their dedication to my needs and timelines was exceptional, showing a genuine commitment to my success. Thanks to BSC, my company formation was completed efficiently and without any issues. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking a reliable and customer-focused business partner.”

When it comes down to company registration, Accounting Solutions Manchester has everything sorted. After all, they’re qualified accountants who’ve been in the business for over 20 years, with expertise in legal compliance.

You could say they’re an all-in-one solution for all sorts of businesses. Apart from company registration and formation services, they can manage your company’s books and payroll.

A key advantage they have is knowing how to navigate tax compliance, which is one thing you have to think about before registering your company. They know all the legalities of the process, which can prevent you from making costly mistakes.

Their efficiency is top-notch, where clients have had no trouble with delays or filing mistakes, given they’re open all week. They’ve got a good handle on things, even during busy tax season.

What truly nails it in the end is the fixed rates, although it does mean there’s reduced flexibility for some. The transparency by avoiding hidden charges is a plus, anyhow.

They always go above and beyond

“Honestly, I have nothing but good words to say about Jay and the team. I’ve been using Accounting Solutions for a number of years since I set up my company… everything from corporation tax and the limited company accounts, and pretty much anything to do with numbers for my business. They always go above and beyond to make everything easy for me. Can’t speak highly enough of the level of detail and amazing service I receive.

Setting up on my own was daunting as there’s so much to think about on the money and tax side of things, but I completely trust them to handle that side of things and make my life easier. I’ve recommended them to a number of people and clients I work with.”

Always got back to me the same day to answer any queries

“Really happy with the service Jay and his team have provided me with in setting up my limited company. They’ve always got back to me the same day to answer any queries I’ve had – great communication and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable accountant.”

One of our best bets is CRO Corporate Services, which provides a wide range of services that many new companies in Manchester can rely on. They handle company formations and registrations, secretarial services, and business operation solutions.

The whole process here is clear, structured, and fuss-free. Quite literally, you can receive everything your new company needs, including all-inclusive and bespoke plans to accommodate specific needs.

During our client surveys, they were mostly applauded for their quick turnaround time, clear communication, and professionalism. It helps that they prioritise mailing company package plans within 24 hours, which pushes things along.

Their services go way beyond Manchester, as they accommodate overseas clients. That’s quite a reach, making them accessible to everyone starting a business in the city.

Finally, we found their prices reasonable, although they can add up quickly. It’s a relief that there’s a solution for that, as their company registration packages can provide exactly what businesses needs.

Incredible service

“Incredible service, everything was explained perfectly. As a non-professional who wasn’t used to any of the legal processes or language the team walked me through everything very thoroughly, thank you again for such a smooth process!”

– Mila Dastugue, Google Review

The experience has always been top-tier

“I have worked with Beckie from CRO  on a number of occasions and the experience has always been top tier. They respond quickly, are clearly very knowledgeable and no query is too small or too big. Excellent firm and cannot recommend them enough!”

– Mimi Mustapha, Google Review

We were mostly pleased with Hanley & Co because of their hands-on support, from company registration to daily tasks. They have the complete package for start-ups and small businesses, which is exactly what new ventures need.

The thing is, they primarily work with SMEs, which caters to many entrepreneurs in Manchester, but they aren’t within reach for larger companies. Not a massive issue, since their services are anything but limited, including tax planning and bookkeeping.

From what we’ve seen, they stick with the client until the end. They have a clever approach that can help you launch your business and manage it effectively through their bespoke business plan.

Additionally, they ensure that all documents are properly filled out and submitted, avoiding delays and possible penalties. And as an accounting service, they can even help you with tax compliance right off the bat.

They’re rather quick to reach, as they’re open for phone and virtual consultations. All these for fair prices, which makes them an overall solid choice.

Efficient, friendly, and reliable

“I have dealt with Dean and his team at Hanley & Co for over 20 years both for my business and personal matters. I have found them to be efficient, friendly and reliable and charge a fair price for their services. Tend to deal with Gina and Paul for routine matters but Dean is very approachable and has proved to be a good sounding board over the years with a lots of very good advice received over and above normal accountancy services.”

– Sheppy1959, Google Review

Proactive in providing help and advice

“Hanley & Co. have acted as advisors, auditors and accountants both on a personal basis, and for a number of our businesses large and small over a period spanning over 20 years. From business inception, tax and general accounting, payroll and through to sale, I have always found Dean, Gina and the team easy to get hold of, proactive in providing help and advice, and all delivered in a friendly, open and easy to understand way. I would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Hanley & Co.”

Receiving assistance from an accountant for company registration ensures legal compliance and strategic planning. And that is one of the reasons we chose DNS Accountants, a service that caters to all industries.

Another reason is simply that they’re highly capable. As an award-winning company in the UK, we can say with certainty that they’re reliable every step of the way, and even clients noted that it was rather easy to work with them.

Their company registration services in Manchester cover essentially all that you need, given their highly supportive team. Based on our client surveys, they’ve helped from beginning to end, ensuring all documents are complete to avoid mistakes and delays.

The only hiccup is that they mainly work with SMEs, so larger businesses will need to take a step back. On a brighter note, the offer free tax consultations, which all businesses need.

It’s also quite pleasant how they’re always quick to respond, usually within four hours. All in all, there were no delays here.

Expertise, reliability, and commitment make them an invaluable asset

“I would like to recommend Mwamba to anyone seeking professional financial guidance and support. Their expertise, reliability, and commitment to their clients make them an invaluable asset, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them. Thanks to their assistance, I now have peace of mind and a clearer path towards my financial goals.”

– Andrew Owen Kalule, Google Review
