Setup ordering platforms for Manchester practices that turn traders into companies.

Codeeo handles business setup services ordering website development Manchester accountants, bookkeepers and business advisers use to sell limited company setup as a paid online product. The platform shows fixed packages, bundles the formation with the bookkeeping, payroll or VAT work that follows, takes payment, and collects everything your team needs before anyone starts filing. Where several practices or specialists sell together, it runs as a marketplace with listings, commission and payouts.

A lot of setup work across Greater Manchester begins with someone who is already trading. The site is built to meet that buyer: a sole trader comparing the change, a contractor starting a new engagement, or a creative freelancer whose income has outgrown self assessment. Each of them arrives with different questions, so the order routes are different too.

Platform features

What buyers and your staff get from the build.

Manchester buyers rarely want a formation on its own. A contractor near Piccadilly wants a company, a business bank account introduction and someone to run payroll. A production freelancer at MediaCity in Salford wants to know whether VAT registration is worth it. A founder from one of the university incubators on Oxford Road needs shares split fairly between three people. The ordering platform has to sell the formation and the ongoing service in one go, and make the difference between packages obvious.

That shapes the feature list below. Company formation services platform development Manchester practices pay for should end in a client who has paid, verified their identity and been passed straight into your practice software, not a half finished form sitting in an inbox. Every feature is optional, and we build the first release around the services that already bring you the most new clients.

Explain your project
  • Sole trader comparison tool

    A plain comparison of staying a sole trader against forming a limited company, covering paperwork, filing duties, liability and the services your practice provides for each. It explains rather than advises, then points the buyer to a package or a call with an adviser. Your accountants sign off the wording before it goes live.

    Undecided traders reach a clear next step instead of leaving.

  • Formation plus service bundles

    Packages that combine the formation with a first year of bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns or annual accounts, each with its inclusions spelled out. The headline price shows every compulsory element, which the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 drip pricing rules now require for consumer sales.

    Each new company arrives as an ongoing client, not a one off sale.

  • Contractor setup route

    A dedicated order route for contractors, asking the questions that matter to them, such as start date, agency or end client, and whether they want payroll from the first month. Your team can follow up on employment status questions, which the site flags but never answers.

    Contractor orders arrive ready for an adviser to pick up quickly.

  • Recurring billing for ongoing work

    Monthly or annual payments for the bundled services, with card updates, failed payment retries and clear cancellation steps in the client area. The subscription contract rules in the 2024 Act are expected in 2027, and the billing flow is designed so notices and cancellation can be adjusted when they arrive.

    Reliable recurring income from new companies.

  • Card, wallet and Direct Debit

    The first payment by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay with Strong Customer Authentication, and ongoing fees collected by card or Direct Debit through your chosen payment provider. Invoices carry your VAT number and post to your accounting software automatically.

    Fewer late payers and less manual invoicing.

  • Identity verification guidance

    Directors and people with significant control must now verify their identity with Companies House or through an Authorised Corporate Service Provider. After payment, each person gets a short explanation of their route and the order shows who is still outstanding.

    Your staff stop sending the same explanation by email.

  • Practice marketplace across the region

    A marketplace where approved practices in Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford or Bolton list their packages, so buyers can choose a local adviser. You vet each practice, set commission and handle disputes; payments are split at checkout and paid out on a schedule.

    A regional network sells through one trusted platform.

  • Referral partner tracking

    Links and codes for referrers such as mortgage brokers, coworking spaces in the Northern Quarter or recruitment agencies placing contractors. The platform records which partner sent each paying client and calculates referral fees you have agreed with them.

    Partners are paid accurately and you see which ones bring real business.

  • Handover to practice software

    When an order is approved, the client and company details flow into your practice management, bookkeeping and engagement letter tools, so nothing is retyped. We work with the APIs your software provides and agree any gaps during discovery.

    Onboarding continues the moment the sale is made.

  • Adviser approval queue

    Each paid order waits for a named adviser to approve, query or decline it after the anti money laundering checks your supervisor expects. Notes and decisions are logged against the client record.

    Online sales follow the same controls as walk in clients.

Good fits

Practices and networks we build for in Manchester.

The best results come from firms that already know which services new companies buy and want to sell them properly online. Here are four kinds of Manchester business we tend to work with, and what the platform focuses on for each one.

01

A growing accountancy practice

You form dozens of companies a year for new clients, mostly by email and phone. The platform turns that into packages with prices, payment and a tidy order record, and it bundles the bookkeeping and accounts work so new clients sign up for the year, not just the setup. Partners see which packages sell and where buyers drop off, and the marketing team gets landing pages for each package that it can edit without a developer.

Most of the value comes from the bundles.

02

A contractor accountancy specialist

Your clients move between engagements and expect everything online. The build focuses on the contractor route, fast company setup, payroll from the first month and a client area where they can see invoices, deadlines and documents. Employment status questions are flagged for an adviser rather than answered on the site. Returning contractors who close one company and start another can reorder with their details already filled in.

Speed and clarity for people starting work next week.

03

A network of independent practices

Several firms across Greater Manchester want one shared platform where buyers choose a local adviser. Provider vetting, listing rules, commission, split payments, payouts and reviews become the core of the build, and each practice keeps responsibility for its own professional work and its own client relationship. Buyers can filter by borough, specialism or language spoken, and reviews are only accepted from clients who completed a paid order.

One platform, many independent practices.

04

A business support organisation

You help people start trading and want to offer formation and first year accounting through approved local firms. A marketplace with a referral commission lets founders compare providers fairly, and reports show how many started businesses each programme produces. Funders who ask for evidence of outcomes get clean numbers without manual counting, and founders keep the same login when they come back for later services.

Fair comparison for founders, clear reporting for you.

How the Manchester build runs, step by step.

  1. 01Services and bundle mappingWe list each package, each ongoing service, which bundles make sense together and the checks your advisers must complete before an order is accepted.
  2. 02Billing and payout planOne off and recurring payments, Direct Debit, VAT, refunds and, for networks, how each payment is split between the platform and the practice that delivers it.
  3. 03Order route designSeparate routes for traders, contractors and multi founder companies are designed and tested with real buyers on video calls before we commit to the build.
  4. 04Build and connectStorefront, client area, adviser queue, partner accounts and the handover to your practice management, bookkeeping and email tools.
  5. 05Sandbox testingTest payments, failed Direct Debits, cancellations, refunds and declined clients run through the payment provider's sandbox and are checked by your compliance lead.
  6. 06Launch and tuneLive launch with redirects from any old pages, then close review of the first real orders to fix confusing questions and improve bundle take up.

Questions Manchester practices ask us.

To turn formation into the start of a paid, ongoing client relationship.

Selling setup by email loses buyers who want a price and a button. A platform shows packages clearly, takes payment, bundles your ongoing services and passes the client into your systems. It also gives you data you do not have now: which packages sell, where buyers stop and which referrers send clients who stay. That insight usually shapes your pricing and marketing as much as the site itself. It also frees advisers from quoting the same packages by phone, so their time goes on the clients who need real advice.
