Ordering sites that let London formation firms sell setup packages to founders worldwide.

Business setup services ordering website development London formation agents, accountants and corporate law firms ask us for is about one thing: getting paid for a package before the work starts. We build the storefront, the order form, the checkout and the partner marketplace behind it, so a founder in Lagos, Dubai or Leeds can choose a package, add a registered office address, pay securely and hand over the details your team needs to file.

The site sells and collects. Your qualified staff still decide whether each order can proceed, run due diligence and file with Companies House. We make sure nothing reaches them half paid, half completed or missing a passport scan.

What the platform covers

From package page to paid, verified order.

London sells more company formations to people who do not live here than almost anywhere else, and the buyer usually arrives at night their time, on a phone, comparing three providers in three tabs. A good ordering site answers the questions that decide the sale on the page itself: what the package includes, what the address product covers, what happens after payment and how long the identity step takes.

Behind that page sits a checkout that handles overseas cards, Strong Customer Authentication and UK VAT correctly, and an order record that already holds the officer details, shareholdings and documents your team will need. Where you also want other providers selling through your site, such as registered office landlords, bookkeepers or specialist solicitors, the same platform runs as a marketplace with provider accounts, commission and payouts. Good company formation services platform development London buyers trust is mostly about removing doubt before payment, so here is what we usually build.

Explain your project
  • Package storefront with clear inclusions

    Tiered formation packages laid out so a buyer can compare them without reading the small print: company type, share structure options, address products, statutory registers and post incorporation help. Every mandatory charge appears in the first price shown, which matters under the drip pricing rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

    Buyers pick the right package first time and fewer orders need correcting.

  • Address product add-ons

    Registered office, director service address and business address products sold as add-ons, with the London postcode shown before purchase and clear rules about what mail is scanned, forwarded or returned. The checkout records which address each officer will use, so filing does not stall on a missing detail.

    Higher order value without confusing the buyer about what the address does.

  • Structured incorporation questionnaire

    A step by step form for company name, SIC codes, officers, people with significant control, share classes and the registered email address Companies House now requires. Answers are checked as they are typed, and the buyer can save and return from another device.

    Orders arrive complete enough to file, not as a chain of follow up emails.

  • Multi currency checkout and SCA

    Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay through a regulated payment provider, with 3D Secure challenges handled so Strong Customer Authentication does not quietly decline overseas cards. Prices can be displayed in several currencies while settlement stays in sterling, if that is how your accountant wants it.

    Fewer abandoned payments from founders abroad.

  • Identity verification hand off

    Directors and people with significant control must now verify their identity. After payment, the order page tells each person exactly what to do: verify through GOV.UK One Login, or go through your own process if you are an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. Status shows on the order until every officer is done.

    The step founders find most confusing is explained at the moment they need it.

  • Provider marketplace

    Optional seller accounts for partners such as virtual office operators in the City, accountants offering a first year bookkeeping package or solicitors drafting shareholder agreements. Each provider manages listings, accepts orders and sees its own earnings, while you approve who sells.

    A wider catalogue without you delivering every service yourself.

  • Commission, split payments and payouts

    Commission rules per provider or per product, split at the point of payment through a marketplace payment product so customer money is held by the regulated provider rather than in your own account. Payout schedules, refunds and chargebacks are traced back to the order that caused them.

    Clean reconciliation between what customers paid and what partners received.

  • Staff review and release queue

    A queue where your compliance team approves, queries or declines each paid order, with risk flags from the questionnaire and a record of every decision. Nothing is filed until a named person releases it.

    Payment never overrides your due diligence.

  • Multilingual package pages

    London formation buyers search in many languages. Package pages, the questionnaire and order emails can be offered in the languages your sales team already supports, with English kept as the legal version of your terms and the filing data always captured in the form Companies House accepts.

    Founders who are less confident in English still complete the order correctly.

  • Order tracking for founders

    A simple account area showing paid, awaiting verification, under review, submitted and incorporated, with the certificate and registers available to download once Companies House accepts the filing.

    Fewer emails asking where an order has got to.

Who this suits

Four kinds of London firm we build for.

London formation businesses differ a lot in what they sell and who buys it. A high volume online agent selling mostly to overseas founders needs a very different checkout from a Mayfair law firm that forms a handful of holding companies each month. Firms around the City, Shoreditch and Canary Wharf also tend to sell to different buyers: tech founders, overseas parent companies and professionals leaving employment. These are the situations we see most, and what changes in the build for each.

01

An online formation agent selling to founders abroad

Most orders come from outside the UK, often from founders who have never dealt with Companies House. The site has to explain the identity step plainly, accept cards issued abroad, and bundle a London address with the formation so the founder has somewhere official for post. We put the effort into package comparison, multi currency display and a questionnaire that works well on a phone.

Volume and clarity matter more than anything else here.

02

An accountancy practice using formations to win clients

Formation is the entry product and the real business is the accounts and tax work that follows. The ordering site sells the formation and offers an optional first year accounting package at checkout, then hands the new client to your practice software with the company details already filled in.

Built to start an ongoing relationship, not just complete a sale.

03

A corporate law firm with fixed fee setup packages

Partners want a controlled online channel for simpler work such as single director companies and holding vehicles, while complex structures still go to a fee earner. The site sells defined packages, routes anything outside them to an enquiry, and records the client engagement before payment is taken.

Fixed fee work online, complex advice still with a fee earner.

04

An operator building a London setup marketplace

You want formation, registered office, bookkeeping, banking introductions from authorised firms and legal drafting from several providers in one place. Provider vetting, listing approval, commission, payouts and dispute handling become the centre of the build, and each provider remains responsible for its own regulated work.

The platform rules matter as much as the storefront.

How a London ordering site goes from brief to first paid order.

  1. 01Package and catalogue mappingWe list every product you sell, what it includes, which add-ons depend on which packages and which steps your compliance team needs before release. That map becomes the catalogue.
  2. 02Payment and money flow designSingle seller checkout or marketplace split payments, settlement currency, refund rules, VAT treatment and who holds customer money. Your accountant signs this off before we build it.
  3. 03Questionnaire and order designThe incorporation questions, document requests and identity guidance are written with your team, then tested with real people on phones before visual design is finalised.
  4. 04Build and integrationsStorefront, checkout, provider accounts, staff queue and connections to your practice software, email platform and any Companies House filing software you already use.
  5. 05Test orders and compliance reviewTest payments in the provider's sandbox, refunds, failed SCA challenges, cancelled orders and declined clients, reviewed by your compliance lead before anything goes live.
  6. 06Launch and early order watchGo live with redirects from your old site, then watch real orders closely for the first weeks, fixing the questions buyers stumble on and tightening the checkout.

Questions London formation firms ask us.

A storefront, an incorporation questionnaire, a checkout and a staff review queue.

Most London projects start with the package pages, the address add-ons and a checkout that takes overseas cards reliably. The questionnaire collects everything needed to file, and a staff queue keeps filing behind your own review. Order tracking for buyers follows in the same release. Marketplace features, such as provider accounts and commission, are added when you want other firms selling through your site, and we plan the data model for them from the start so they do not need a rebuild later.
