How long does UK company formation take with Novaen?

Most formations are completed within 5-7 working days. The Establish package is our standard timeline. The Launch package offers priority 3-day delivery. The Sovereign package offers same-week delivery.

What's included in the Establish package?

Company registration at Companies House, London registered office address, custom domain registration, custom business email setup, professional single-page website, business bank account referral, and annual confirmation statement filing with compliance reminders.
