What new company does

New Company Group Ltd is a UK-based company formation agent established in 1987 and headquartered in Birmingham. The company assists entrepreneurs, small business owners, and international clients in incorporating UK entities, including private limited companies, PLCs, Limited by Guarantee companies, Community Interest Companies (CICs), LLPs, charities, partnerships, and sole trader registrations. It also offers offshore company formation across multiple jurisdictions and maintains an inventory of off-the-shelf and vintage companies (2, 5, and 10+ years old) available for immediate transfer.

The core commercial offering is the Full Compliance Package priced at £19.99 plus a £100 Companies House filing fee, which bundles certificate of incorporation, share certificates, registered office provision, domain registration, digital documentation, SIC and PSC filing, and business bank account arrangement. Revenue is supplemented by recurring subscription services including registered office address (£65/year) and director service address (£45/year), along with trademark search/registration, VAT registration, domain and website services, and company name searches. The company operates a direct-to-consumer model via its website (anewcompany.co.uk), phone, and email, with no reseller or channel partner network.

The business maintains banking facilitation partnerships with Lloyd's, Barclays, Metro Bank, Tide, Cashplus, and CardOne, enabling it to offer 18 months of free banking with Lloyd's or Barclays as standard in formation packages. New Company Group is privately held, founder/owner-operated, has no external funding, no disclosed headcount, and operates as a traditional professional services firm without a proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capabilities. Its operational footprint is single-jurisdiction (UK-domiciled) with international client support provided as a service rather than through overseas offices.
