From 1 February 2026, Companies House will increase a number of filing fees. Most notably, the company incorporation fee will double, rising from £50 to £100.
Why timing matters
It’s important to factor in:
• Identity verification checks
• Obtaining your Personal Code
• Any delays caused by incomplete or incorrect submissions
Setting up doesn’t need to be complicated
Company formation is generally quick and straightforward when done properly, but small errors can slow things down or require resubmission—particularly with the newer ID and verification requirements.
