  • A qualified company secretary as required by the Companies Act 2016

Typically, 7 business days, if all documents and information are complete.

Incorporation can be done without a business address, but one will be needed later (post-incorporation). You may incorporate now and have a business address later.

It depends on your business goals (both offer limited liability protection):
