Abstract
People think forming a company is an easy thing that requires capital and machines for production; well this is not the case. The formation of a company requires very critical processes and considerations. Some of these considerations involve incorporation of a business under the company law. These laws are used to govern a company or a corporation as an entity that is distinct from the people who own or operate the company. Many companies are formed or rather created by solicitors, individuals or groups out of specialized company formation agents. These agents offer company formation packages under a certain fee. People who intend to form companies should be aware that the fee charged for filling out paper work with the company house does not entail the cost of witnessing documents or preparation of memorandum or articles of association for the company. These are legal documents used to give the company some form of legal status. They should be available during the initial steps of forming the company. The whole process also requires clear guidelines such as partnership agreements that elaborate what happens when the business owner passes on. The partnership agreement will help in allocation of the owners’ shares among the next of kin or their partners. This paper will discuss some of the important areas that should be addressed during the formation of a company as well as give an overview of what needs to be done to make it effective.
