Company Registration
The United Kingdom has enjoyed a system of company registration since 1844. Today, company registration matters are dealt with in law, by the Companies Act 1985 and the updating legislation contained in the Companies Act 1989.
All limited companies in the UK are registered at Companies House, an Executive Agency of the Department of Trade and Industry. There are more than 2 million limited companies registered in Great Britain, and more than 300,000 new companies are incorporated each year. The main functions of Companies House are to:
* incorporate and dissolve limited companies;
* examine and store company information delivered under the Companies Act
and related legislation;
and
* make this information available to the public.

Consumer Credit License
The Consumer Credit Act 1974 requires most businesses that offer credit or lend money to consumers to be licensed by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). This includes where credit is arranged to finance the purchase of goods or services. Licensing arrangements may also be required by debt collectors, debt advisors and businesses that offer goods for hire or leasing. Trading without a licensing arrangement is a criminal offence and can result in a fine and/or imprisonment.
The Act also requires certain credit and hire arrangements to be set out in a particular way and to contain certain information.
