FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Separate incorporation from listing and funding objectives.
Map the proposed members, board and constitutional documents.
Prepare the applicable incorporation and linked-form workflow.
Provide available incorporation evidence and an open-action register.
Document preparation requires consistent decisions from multiple participants. MCA scrutiny, name issues and resubmissions affect the filing outcome. Listing or fundraising has separate steps and should never be scheduled solely from an incorporation estimate.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamSection 3 specifies seven or more persons for forming a public company, while section 149 sets a minimum of three directors. These are different roles; assess other applicable conditions for the proposed company.
References: Companies Act: section 3, formation and OPC nominee · Companies Act: section 149, director requirements
No. Incorporation does not itself obtain stock-exchange listing. Keep any listing plan and its securities requirements separate from the incorporation scope.
Section 149 includes a director-stay requirement of at least 182 days during the financial year, proportionate for a newly incorporated company in its incorporation year. Assess the actual dates and any applicable special provisions.
References: Companies Act: section 149, director requirements
No. Section 149 distinguishes listed public companies and other prescribed classes for additional board requirements. Review the actual company class, not just the words Public Limited.
References: Companies Act: section 149, director requirements
No. Investors and authorities make separate decisions, and a proposed funding transaction needs its own legal and commercial assessment. No investment or public-offer outcome is promised.
Confirm the participant and document checklist, the professional work included, external charges, clarification limits and aftercare responsibilities. Keep listing, financing and recurring company work separately identified.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Members and directors | Plan at least seven members and three directors for an ordinary public-company formation. | Membership and board roles are different; identify each person and their responsibilities. |
| Board readiness | Check the resident-director requirement and any additional class-specific board obligations. | Do not assume that every public company is listed or that all board rules are identical. |
| Capital and funding | Document subscriptions and the actual intended funding route. | Incorporation is not a blanket permission to invite public money or an investment commitment. |
| Constitution and office | Agree the objects, articles, ownership records and registered-office arrangement. | Name approval alone is neither incorporation nor trademark protection. |
