Your fixed fee is confirmed in writing once I have seen your document. Pay within 24 hours of that confirmation for the reduced fee.

"From" prices are starting fees for standard scope; your exact fee is fixed in writing before you pay anything and never changes after that. No VAT is charged: the price quoted is the price paid. Court, tribunal and official fees are shown separately on your quote before you pay anything. Schedule current as at 21 August 2026.

Companies Act and governance work, board and shareholder resolutions and director duties, has its own schedule here. Bespoke and urgent matters outside the schedule: £650 per hour, capped estimates in advance. Corporate retainers from £995/month.

Common questions

FAQs.

We're 50/50 shareholders and friends. Do we need an agreement?

50/50 with no shareholders' agreement is the single most expensive structure in company law: perfect deadlock, no exit mechanism, and the friendship as the only dispute-resolution clause. £1,650 now is the cheap version of that conversation.

What's wrong with the standard model articles?

Nothing, for a company that never raises money, never falls out and never sells. For everyone else, the gaps (pre-emption, share classes, director deadlock) surface at exactly the moments they are hardest to fix.
