UK LTD Company Formation 2026 — Companies House Fees Update and What It Means

<![CDATA[

Companies House Fee Changes: February 2026

As of 1 February 2026, Companies House has introduced significant fee increases that affect every company formation in the UK. Here’s what changed:

  • Digital incorporation: £50 → £100 (100% increase)
  • Confirmation Statement (digital): £34 → £50
  • Voluntary strike-off (digital): £8 → £13

Should You Still Form a UK LTD in 2026?

Absolutely. Despite the fee increase, a UK Limited Company remains one of the most attractive business structures in Europe. Here’s why:

  • No share capital requirement — unlike many EU jurisdictions
  • Fast incorporation — typically within 24-48 hours
  • Fully remote process — no need to travel to the UK
  • Access to UK banking and payment systems
  • Global credibility — UK companies are trusted worldwide
