Answer 1 :
Personally I had an accountant do it. Cost all of £100 7 years go.
Answer 2 :
You can ask someone at Companies House if you are having trouble with the forms.
Answer 3 :
Some solicitors have ready made dummy companies that you can buy for about £150 once you have that you can then get the name changed etc.
Answer 4 :
Unless you require incredibly complicated Mem & Arts, do not go near Solicitors or Accountants. Start at Companies House website to check that your preferred company name has not been taken and then go directly to a company formation agent who will form the company and prepare the forms. It if not practical to do it yourself due to printing of the Mem & Arts and arranging the seal. I use Chettleburghs, who although not the cheapest, are reliable and efficient. http://www.chettleburghs.co.uk/
Answer 5 :
As all of the above but buying a ready made company of the shelf is the cheapest way , you can always use the pre -formed ltd company that you buy as the holding company, then your chosen name trading as EG xxxx( the name of the of the shelf company) ltd trading as xyz ( your choice of name for your company) hope this has been of some help
