Why We Publish Our Prices
When you are researching a firm to handle something this important, nothing erodes trust faster than a price you cannot find. We would rather tell you upfront. The ranges below give you a genuine feel for the investment involved. Where you see a "From" figure, it is because that particular service genuinely varies — a single-owner company is straightforward; a multi-layered trust spanning several jurisdictions is not. We will always confirm a fixed fee in writing before any work begins.
What Makes a Case Simple — or Complex
Two factors move the price more than anything else: how many people and entities sit in the ownership chain, and whether a trust is involved. A company owned directly by one or two named individuals is at the simple end. Once you introduce trusts, nominee arrangements, layered corporate ownership, or beneficial owners in higher-risk jurisdictions, the verification work — which we are legally required to carry out and personally stand behind — increases significantly.
Anti-money-laundering rules place the burden of proof on us as your regulated agent, and we take that responsibility seriously. That diligence is what protects you, and it is reflected honestly in the fees below.

UK VAT Position
UK VAT Position of the above charges as a supply of professional advisory services
When supplying such services to a business B2B, the place of supply is where the customer belongs, so if the company is not established in the UK no physical presence there is no UK VAT to charge.
If the business customer is EU based, they will account for the VAT under the reverse charge mechanism in their own member state.
If outside the UK and EU, no VAT to charge at all, but with the supplier's right to deduct input tax on costs incurred in making the supply.
Who We're Probably Not Right For
If you're looking for the cheapest possible filing agent and are comfortable accepting the risk of a rejected application or missed deadline, we may not be the right fit. Our fees reflect the depth of verification work that protects you from penalties, delays and — in the worst case — a non-refundable disbursement lost to a rejected filing. We exist for clients who value getting it right the first time, and who want a regulated agent that personally stands behind the information submitted on their behalf.
