To ensure that your new company is up and running as soon as possible, we have agreements with several finance related organisations.
As part of the incorporation process, you will see that you can choose from these as required. Our systems will then directly issue a referral on your behalf.
Within a matter of days, you should be contacted by that organisation, in order to discuss your requirements in detail. In addition, any of these services can be ordered after incorporation, but only for companies we have incorporated.
There is no obligation to take up any offers and all are subject to status.
The referrals we offer are briefly listed below, but more detail can be found by clicking on the links on the menu on the right of the screen.

Upon incorporation a referral will be automatically sent to the appropriate organisation. You should then receive direct communication in order to discuss your requirements.
These are subject to status and the Terms & Conditions of each bank.
