The exact change

Before

The standard online registration fee through Companies House is 50 GBP (approximately $64 USD). Same-day incorporation costs 78 GBP. Paper filing by post costs 71 GBP.

After

The standard online registration fee through Companies House is 100 GBP (approximately $127 USD), following the fee increase effective 1 February 2026. Same-day incorporation costs 156 GBP. Paper filing by post costs 124 GBP.

Suggested change

Major fix: updated all UK Companies House fee references throughout the article (featured snippet, intro, cost table, compliance table, cost summary, and conclusion) to the current fees following the February 2026 increase (standard online GBP 100, same-day GBP 156, paper GBP 124, confirmation statement GBP 50 online/GBP 110 paper), and removed two fabricated "our analysts" authority-voice instances. The same fee update was also applied to the article's paired FAQ data, which had still shown very stale GBP 12/30/40 figures.

Why this is better

This featured-snippet and every downstream cost/compliance table used the stale intermediate May-2024 Companies House fees; the correct current figures (100/156/124 GBP) reflect the 1 February 2026 fee increase and needed updating throughout the article, including the confirmation statement figure of GBP 50/GBP 110.
