We deliver business setup services ordering website development UK formation agents, accountancy groups and setup marketplaces use to sell incorporation and the services around it at national scale. Buyers choose a package for England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, add address and company secretarial products, pay with a card, wallet or bank payment, and complete the details needed to file. Your teams review and release each order, and partner providers can sell through the same platform.
The rules changed with the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. Identity verification for directors and people with significant control, registered email addresses and tighter rules on registered offices now shape every order, so the platform has to explain them clearly and record that each step is complete.

Platform scope
A national formation business is really several businesses sharing one storefront. Companies House keeps separate registers for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and each company's registered office has to sit in the right part of the UK. Buyers range from first time founders to accountants ordering for clients in bulk. Some providers are Authorised Corporate Service Providers who verify identities themselves; others send officers to GOV.UK One Login. Anti money laundering supervision may sit with HMRC or with a professional body.
Company formation services platform development UK operators need has to hold all of that in one catalogue and one order model without making the buyer think about it. These are the capabilities we build most often, in the order they usually go live, with marketplace features added where other firms sell through your platform.
One catalogue that knows which entity types, address products and services apply in England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Buyers choose where the company will be registered, and the packages, registered office options and terms update to suit. Where you support them, Welsh language documents can be offered for companies registered in Wales.
One storefront serves every part of the UK without wrong combinations.
Headline prices that include every compulsory charge, whether that is the Companies House fee, your service fee or a mandatory address product, as the drip pricing rules of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 require. Optional extras are clearly optional and never preselected.
Prices that stand up to scrutiny from buyers and regulators.
Structured capture of directors, shareholders, people with significant control, corporate members and share classes, with validation that matches what Companies House accepts. The registered email address and appropriate registered office questions are built in, so filings are not rejected for missing statutory details.
Fewer rejected filings and fewer corrections after payment.
If you are an Authorised Corporate Service Provider, the platform runs your own verification workflow and records the result. If not, it guides each officer to verify through GOV.UK One Login and asks them to share their personal code. Either way, the order shows exactly who is verified and who is not.
Identity verification becomes a tracked step, not a support problem.
Cards and wallets with Strong Customer Authentication, Open Banking pay by bank for larger orders, and Direct Debit for recurring services, all through regulated payment providers. VAT is calculated on the services that carry it, and invoices are issued in the format your finance team needs.
Higher payment success and cleaner VAT records.
An account type for accountants, solicitors and other agents who order formations for their own clients, with saved client details, bulk orders, monthly invoicing on approved credit and a dashboard of every company they have formed through you.
Trade buyers order more often and with less friction.
Seller accounts for partners offering registered offices in different cities, bookkeeping, insurance, legal drafting or trademark work. Partners are vetted before listing, commission is taken at payment, payouts run through the provider, and disputes and reviews are managed centrally so buyers have one place to go.
A national range without delivering every service in house.
Annual registered office, confirmation statement and company secretarial services sold as renewing products, with notices, card updates and cancellation in the account area. The 2024 Act also brings subscription contract rules, expected in 2027, and the renewal logic is kept configurable for when they take effect.
Revenue that continues after the formation sale.
A review queue that routes each paid order to the right team by jurisdiction, product or risk, with approvals, queries and declines logged. Your anti money laundering officer can see every decision across offices and partners.
Consistent controls across a national operation.
Orders, revenue, refunds, verification completion and partner performance broken down by nation, city, product and acquisition channel, with exports for finance and dashboards for management.
Decisions based on how the platform actually performs.
Who uses it
A national ordering platform makes sense when volume, partners or regulation outgrow a simple online shop. These are the four types of UK business we most often build for, each with a different centre of gravity in the build. Many clients sit across two of them, and the platform can grow from one into the other.
High order volume, buyers across all four nations and a product range of formations, addresses and company secretarial services. The work centres on the jurisdiction aware catalogue, payment success, verification tracking and a review queue that keeps up with demand without cutting corners on checks. Seasonal peaks, such as the start of the tax year, are planned for so the platform and the review team both scale when orders rise.
Built for volume without losing control.
Several offices or member firms want a shared ordering platform under one brand. Orders route to the right office by location or specialism, each office sees its own clients, and group management sees the whole picture. Trade accounts let member firms order for their own clients through the same system, and shared reporting shows which offices convert formation buyers into ongoing clients.
One brand, many offices, clear ownership of each client.
Corporate teams in different cities want fixed fee packages online while keeping complex structures for fee earners. The platform handles jurisdiction, engagement terms per legal system and routing to the right office, with conflict and anti money laundering checks before any work starts. Partners in each city can adjust their own package descriptions within limits set by the central team.
Consistent online service across different legal systems.
You want formation, addresses, accounting, banking introductions from authorised firms, insurance and legal services from many providers on one platform. Provider onboarding, vetting, commission, payouts, disputes and reviews are the core of the build, and every provider stays responsible for its own regulated activity. Where a partner needs FCA authorisation or another licence for its service, the onboarding step records evidence of it before the listing goes live.
Marketplace rules first, storefront second.
Engagement
Codeeo has no UK office. Our team of 80+ works from Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and runs discovery, design reviews and testing with UK clients remotely by video call, with progress shared on a common board. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, and we are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. For national programmes we agree a single point of contact on each side, and your compliance, finance and legal leads join the reviews that affect them. Phase plans, test results and release notes are kept in one place for audit.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Business setup services ordering website design UK buyers find easy rests on a stack that can grow. National platforms usually run on a custom Laravel or Next.js build with a headless commerce layer, so marketplace, trade accounts and reporting can be added without replacing the storefront.

Identity verification, registered office and email rules, drip pricing and AML checks.
Since the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, every director and person with significant control must verify their identity, every company needs a registered email address and an appropriate registered office, and Companies House has stronger powers to question filings. Add the drip pricing rules on headline prices and your own anti money laundering duties, and the order flow has to explain and record far more than it used to. Accessibility under the Equality Act and WCAG 2.2, UK GDPR and PECR consent sit on top of that, so we treat compliance as part of the design brief rather than a final check.
