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.
AfterThe 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.
