Once your company registration is approved, Companies House issues a Certificate of Incorporation. This certificate proves that your business is officially recognised as a legal entity in the UK. It includes your company name, unique registration number, and the date of incorporation.
The certificate is essential for opening business bank accounts, signing contracts, securing investment, and demonstrating your company’s legitimacy to clients, suppliers, and authorities. Without it, you cannot trade as a limited company in the UK.
