Business setup services ordering website development Edinburgh solicitors, chartered accountants and corporate service providers commission from Codeeo turns their formation work into products a client can buy online. A founder picks a package, confirms the company will be registered in Scotland, adds a registered office or company secretarial service, pays, and completes the questions your team needs. Your staff then review, verify and file, with every paid order sitting in one place.
Scotland has its own legal system, and a Scottish company keeps its registered office in Scotland. The portal is built around those facts, so buyers from Glasgow, London or abroad understand what they are buying before they pay, and your terms are written for the right jurisdiction.

Inside the portal
Edinburgh formation work leans professional. Much of it comes through solicitors and accountants in the New Town and the Exchange District, through university spinout teams around the Old Town and Riccarton, and through founders referred by Business Gateway Edinburgh, which gives free start up advice on behalf of the City of Edinburgh Council. Those buyers expect a firm's online channel to be as careful as its people.
So the portal does more than take a card. It asks the jurisdiction question early, explains Scottish registered office rules, records engagement terms written for Scots law, and keeps the identity verification step visible after payment. If you want other Scottish providers to sell alongside you, it can run as a small marketplace with vetted sellers and commission. Company formation services platform development Edinburgh firms need is less about volume and more about getting each order right.
The first question confirms whether the company will be registered in Scotland or in England and Wales, with a short plain English note on what that choice means. Packages and address products then filter to match, so a buyer cannot pair a Scottish company with a registered office address outside Scotland.
Fewer orders that need unpicking after payment.
Product pages for limited companies, LLPs and, where your firm offers them, Scottish limited partnerships, each listing exactly what is included. Every compulsory charge sits in the headline price, in line with the drip pricing rules now in force under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.
Buyers see the full price and scope before they commit.
Your letter of engagement and terms of business presented at checkout, accepted and stored against the order with the version and time recorded. Your solicitors decide the wording and how electronic signing should work under Scots law; we build the flow and keep the evidence.
A clear record of what each client agreed to.
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay with Strong Customer Authentication handled correctly, plus an optional pay by bank option through an Open Banking provider for clients who prefer to pay from their account. VAT is shown and invoiced in the way your accountant specifies.
Payments that clear first time, with invoices ready for your books.
Packages for university and research spinouts that need several founders, a shareholders agreement and share classes set up correctly. The questionnaire handles multiple shareholders, nominee questions and the people with significant control, and passes complex cases to a fee earner instead of forcing them through a standard form.
Spinout teams buy a defined package and complex cases still get advice.
After payment, each director and person with significant control sees what they must do to verify their identity, whether through GOV.UK One Login or through your firm if you act as an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. The order cannot move to filing until every officer shows as verified.
Your team stops chasing verification by email.
Ongoing services such as registered office, confirmation statements and minute keeping sold as annual products, with renewal notices and card updates handled in the client area. When the subscription contract rules in the 2024 Act take effect, expected in 2027, the renewal flow can be adjusted without a rebuild.
Recurring income from clients you already formed.
A small marketplace where approved Edinburgh partners, such as bookkeepers, insurance brokers or serviced office operators in Leith or the city centre, list services next to yours. You set commission, approve listings and handle disputes, and each partner is paid out through the payment provider.
Clients find trusted help after formation without leaving your site.
Once Companies House accepts the filing, the client area releases the certificate of incorporation, articles, statutory registers and share certificates, along with a short checklist of next steps such as HMRC registrations and bank account opening. Each document is generated from the order data, so names and share numbers match the filing.
Clients leave with a complete, consistent set of records.
Every paid order lands in a queue for a named person to approve, query or decline, with the questionnaire, documents and any risk notes on one screen. Decisions and reasons are logged for your anti money laundering file.
Online sales stay inside your professional controls.
Who it is for
Every setup portal we plan starts with who is selling and who is buying. In Edinburgh that usually means a professional firm with regulated duties, selling to founders who expect the same care online that they would get across a desk. These four situations come up most often.
Simple incorporations take partner time that could go to higher value work. A portal sells the standard packages, captures the engagement properly and sends only reviewed, verified orders to the paralegal who files. Complex group structures and cross border work continue to come in as enquiries, which the portal routes to the right partner with the client's answers attached. Conflict checks can run before the engagement is confirmed, so nobody is onboarded and then turned away.
Standard work online, advice where it is needed.
Formation is often the first thing a new client buys, followed by accounts, payroll and tax. The portal sells the formation, offers a first year compliance bundle, and passes the new company to your practice software so onboarding continues without retyping anything. Partners can see which formation clients took the bundle and which need a follow up call from the practice.
The setup sale opens the longer relationship.
Your income depends on renewals as much as new formations. The build focuses on annual products, renewal reminders, card updates and a client area where directors can see filing deadlines and download documents for the companies you look after. Clients forming their second or third company can reorder with their details prefilled, which suits serial founders and property investors.
Built around keeping clients year after year.
You support several cohorts a year and want a straightforward way for teams to buy formation and legal packages from approved partner firms. A marketplace layout lets partners list services, founders compare them and you take a referral commission that funds the programme. Each cohort can have its own landing page and partner list, and you can see which teams have bought what.
A curated partner market for your founders.

Technology
Business setup services ordering website design Edinburgh clients respond to depends partly on what your team can maintain. A practice with a short product list may suit WooCommerce on WordPress, which its own staff can edit. A firm adding partner listings, renewals and a review queue usually needs a custom Laravel build. We recommend after discovery and explain the trade offs plainly.

Yes, mainly because of Scots law and Scottish registered office rules.
The order flow has to ask about jurisdiction early, filter address products to Scotland for Scottish companies, and present terms your solicitors have written for Scots law. Buyers are also more likely to arrive through a professional referral, so the portal reads like a firm's service rather than a discount shop. The payment and verification parts work the same way as anywhere in the UK, because Companies House rules on identity verification apply across all of its registers, including the Scottish one.
