APPENDIX A
CAN IDEAL DIRECT WITH COMPANIES HOUSE TO
FORM MY COMPANY?
Yes, but you should be aware that whilst Companies House staff will be happy to give you guidance on general matters, they cannot advise you about the content of the memorandum and articles, or indeed whether an incorporated company is the best vehicle for your business. You are advised to consult a com- pany formation agent or a solicitor when you are con- sidering forming a company.
