Coddan

What Coddan does

Coddan CPM Ltd. is a London-based Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) operating since 2005 as a UK company formation agent. The company delivers online company registration services for private limited companies, LLPs, Community Interest Companies, non-profits, and US entities (including Delaware LLCs and incorporations across multiple US states), targeting UK entrepreneurs, non-UK residents, freelancers, and small businesses. Its core offering is a four-tier modular package lineup (Digital Basic EasyForm from £104.99, Privacy EasyWise from £149.99, Premier SwiftStart from £174.99, and AllSet BizPro from £294.99), each available with optional integrated Companies House identity verification (£30 premium), and supported by add-ons such as London registered office addresses (EC3, W1W, E14), director service addresses, VAT/EORI registration, HMRC corporation tax registration, trademark registration across multiple jurisdictions, and ongoing company secretarial support.

The platform is built on a web-based digital filing system using iXBRL-tagged electronic submission of Form IN01 directly to Companies House via the Web Incorporation Service, with ACSP-authorized identity verification cross-referenced against Companies House records and integrated with the GOV.UK One Login service. The technology is positioned as workflow automation and compliance tooling rather than a proprietary AI or data product. Distribution is exclusively digital, with a 24/7 self-serve application flow completable in 5–10 minutes, supplemented by UK and international phone sales support and SEO-driven website acquisition; a 4.9/5 Google rating from 79 verified reviews functions as social proof.

Coddan's revenue model is predominantly transactional (one-time formation fees averaging roughly £150–£300 per customer), with a smaller recurring layer from registered office address subscriptions (from £45/year) and unit-priced post-incorporation services. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, funding rounds, or M&A activity, and operates with a headcount of 1–10, indicating a lean, founder-led operating model.
