We can offer no guarantee that the application to register a new limited company or LLP will be accepted and approved on the same working day but if this is required the users can purchase the Guaranteed Same Day Service which is offered as one of our additional services.

The fees that are charged by Companies House are included in our prices and are those that are in force at the time of purchase although these may also vary from time to time and will be advised.

Payment may be made by credit card, debit car, PayPal or bank transfer. Any other form of payment will require prior agreement with 121 Company Formation.

By accepting these Terms and Conditions you are giving 121 Company Formation the permission to carry out online ID verification checks via a 3rd party organisation to confirm your identity and residential address. This online check may be recorded and retained on your personal credit file.

If we are not able to successfully verify your identity and residential address via our initial verification process, we will require you to provide certified copies of your proof of identity and residential address in order to satisfy UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations. Failure to comply with a request for additional documentation will result in the cancellation of our services to you. We also reserve the right to impose an administration fee should we have to spend time chasing the provision of this information.

As a Company Formation Provider, we are legally obliged to carry out due diligence checks on our clients and company officers and members (Directors, Company Secretary, Person with Significant Control, Shareholders) when appropriate to do so, and where services are provided on an ongoing basis. Should any of our checks result in the discovery of illegal or unethical activities, we reserve the right to terminate services without notice and without refund. Furthermore, we may have to report these findings to the relevant authorities by way of a Suspicious Activity Report.

We also have an obligation to satisfy 'Know Your Customer' (KYC) obligations. To this end, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire on the business activities of your company and the reason for your business relationship with 121 Company Formation.

a) Purchasing our trade mail forwarding address service will enable you to use our address as the address to which all non-statutory business and general mail will be delivered. This service does not include the use of our address as your company’s trading address or principal place of business when registering for any HMRC matters. No such mail will be accepted or forwarded by 121 Company Formation if this service has not been purchased.

b) If you purchase either the registered office address service or the service address service from 121 Company Formation without registering for an account, then it is your responsibility to notify Companies House of any such changes so that the details held on the public register are correct.

c) Renewal payments for all 121 Company Formation address services must be paid promptly, either before or on the renewal date. In the case of the registered office address service and the service address service, failure to pay the renewal fees in due time or to provide any ID requested at the time of renewal, will lead to the address reverting to the residential address given to 121 Company formation at the time of the original purchase. If, at the time failing to renew an address service, you are not a UK resident and do not have access to an address within the UK, 121 Company Formation will apply to Companies House for our address to be removed from the public register as being either your company’s registered office address or service address.

d) We retain the right to revoke the use of our address in connection with your company should we consider that you have tarnished our reputation or have caused or are a substantial threat to our company. In these circumstances, 121 Company Formation will apply to Companies House for our address to be removed from the public register as being either your company’s registered office address or service address and your own residential address or an address provided by you at the time of purchase of the service/s will be substituted on the records held at Companies House.

e) Each of the 121 Company Formation address services applies to one company. Should any address service be required for more than one company, the appropriate fee is payable for each service for each company.

f) In the event that any mail we send from our office to a customer’s forwarding address is returned, we will take certain steps to ensure the customer receives this mail. We will, in the first instance, contact the customer to verify the forwarding address details and we will offer to open and scan the mail by email to the customer. Should the customer prefer for the mail to be re-sent by mail, a fee equivalent to the postal rate payable plus a 15% handling charge will be payable. If it should be the case that the non-delivery to the forwarding address was as a result of an error on our part, then the mail will be posted to the verified forwarding address at no charge.

g) Any mail addressed to customers using our trade mail forwarding service which is larger than A4, contains an item of value, a bank card or a cheque or similar items that cannot be scanned, will be forward by post and a fee equivalent to the postal rate payable plus a 15% handling charge will be payable.

h) If a customer requests that mail is forward by a courier, payment for this must be made in advance. We will raise an invoice for a fee equivalent to the courier’s charge plus a 15% handling charge for which payment will be taken from the payment card registered on our system by the customer. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the customer grants permission for 121 Company Formation to raise payment for the invoice using this payment card. However, should the cost of forwarding any item by courier by high or appear excessive, we will contact the customer to seek prior approval.

i) Similarly, if a customer requires mail to forwarded using any of the Royal Mail services available, i.e. Special Delivery, Guaranteed, International Tracked, then we will raise an invoice for a fee equivalent to the postage charge plus a 15% handling charge for which payment will be taken from the payment card registered on our system by the customer. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the customer grants permission for 121 Company Formation to raise payment for the invoice using this payment card.

j) If we are unable to forward an item of mail for delivery for any reason or if we are unable to secure advance payment for additional courier/postal charges the customer will be contacted for further instructions. If no instructions or response are received within 30 days, then 121 Company Formation reserves the right to either dispose of the item or return it to the original sender.

The telephone numbers used for the business telephone service and call answering service are not owned by 121 Company Formation. Should a customer wish to continue to use a business telephone number after the use of our service has expired, then contact should be made with the relevant telecoms provider to arrange for the telephone number to be transferred.

a) When you use our services to form a company, we will automatically offer you the option of a fast-track referral service for banking facilities. However, the availability of banking services cannot be guaranteed and are subject to the eligibility checks that are undertaken by the bank applied to. This is a free referral service so no fee is charged and therefore no fee is refundable.

b) The bank account referral service is not available for customers who are not resident in the UK.

c) If you do choose to use our bank account referral service, you automatically agree to your details being provided to the bank by us on your behalf and to subsequently being contacted by that bank in order to proceed with your bank account application request.

An administration charge may be applied to any cancellation/refund requests that are made after we have begun to process your application

After this 14 day period has elapsed, no cancellation/refund requests will be considered.

No refunds will be made for a company formation package once the application has been submitted to Companies House or for any application that is rejected by Companies House

b) Address services

If your order has not yet been processed and the address service(s) set up, then you will be entitled to a refund of any fees paid to us providing notice to cancel is received within 14 days of the date of purchase. After this 14 day period has elapsed, no cancellation/refund requests will be considered.

In the event that your order has already been processed and your address service(s) have been set up, then providing notice to cancel is received within 14 days of the date of purchase, you shall be entitled to a refund of any fees paid to us less a £30.00 administrative fee per address service. After this 14 day period has elapsed, no cancellation/refund requests will be considered.

If a notice to cancel and refund request is received within 14 days of the date of purchase of an address service but your company has used this address for more than 14 days after the purchase date, no refund will be due since it will be deemed that you have made use of the address service.

Address service(s) may be cancelled by either party upon the giving of one full calendar month’s notice.

c) Additional services and products

Should you purchases one of our additional services or products then the following terms and conditions regarding refunds and cancellations apply should you subsequently change your mind:

If your order has not yet been processed and we have not begun work on providing the additional services or products, then you will be entitled to a refund of any fees paid to us providing notice to cancel is received within 14 days of the date of purchase date. No cancellation/refund requests will be considered if the cancellation request is made after this 14 day period has elapsed or if we have already begun to work on providing the additional services or products.
Should we have to cancel any additional service or product purchased by you due to the failure on your part to provide any documentation requested, such as proof of ID or address, then no refund will be provided since this information is required in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations and Know Your Customer requirements.
