Structure Advisor

Choose the right structure before you pay Companies House.

Whether you need a private limited company, LLP, company limited by guarantee or PLC depends on your purpose, ownership and plans. Getting this right before filing avoids expensive restructuring later.

Ltd for most founders and online businesses

LLP for multi-partner professional practices

CLG for charities, clubs and non-profits

PLC only where serious capital markets ambitions exist

Why this matters

The wrong structure creates tax friction, director issues and cleanup work later. This keeps the page conversion-focused without looking cheap.

Formation Journey

How company formation with Countee will work

The product is still being expanded, but the experience should already look like a premium UK incorporation service rather than a placeholder microsite.

01

Check the name

Search the live register, avoid rejections and understand obvious conflicts before you begin.

02

Choose the structure

Match your company type, SIC positioning and registered office needs to the actual business plan.

03

Add directors and PSCs

Capture the people, ownership and control data Companies House and banks will care about.

04

File and onboard

Submit to Companies House and move straight into accounting, tax and payroll inside Countee.

Why Countee

Incorporation should lead straight into operations.

Most formation services end when you get the certificate. Countee connects incorporation directly to accounting, VAT registration and payroll so there is no gap between company number and first invoice.

Same-day filing

Structured for fast submission through the official Companies House process.

Accounting from day one

Built to flow into bookkeeping, VAT and payroll instead of ending at incorporation.

Professional support

Serious UK business setup, not a disposable one-off form with no continuity.
