How to Form a Company
A Practical Guide to the Formation of Private Companies
Dennis Roberts

The book takes the reader through all the necessary stages-from drafting the correct documents and filing them with Companies House through the first board meeting, designing letter-heading and stationery and registering for VAT. It also covers the changes likely to occur within the first year or two of a new company's life.

Quick reference checklists, draft wordings and forms (including the relevant Companies House forms, Memorandum and Articles of Association and an agenda and minutes for the first board meeting) make the task of forming a tailor-made company even easier. These are provided both in the book and in downloadable form on the accompanying CD-ROM.
