These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the legal agreement between GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Company”) and you (“the Client”, “you”, “your”) regarding the provision of our digital company formation, business administration, and corporate facilitation services.
GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED operates as a professional Digital Company Formation and Service Provider. By accessing our platform, utilizing our digital infrastructure, or purchasing any of our corporate services, you expressly agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind that entity to this agreement.
2.1 Digital Facilitation and Routing: GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED operates exclusively as a digital interface and software facilitator. We are not an Authorized Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. Our platform is designed strictly to collect your submitted data and securely route it directly to our network of verified, independent ACSPs.
2.2 Reliance on Third-Party Authorization: Because we do not independently process, approve, or adjudicate compliance data, our ability to provide company formation and corporate services depends entirely on the legal authorization and regulatory status of our partner ACSPs. The final authorization, physical registration, and mandatory compliance approval tests (e.g., KYC/AML) are conducted exclusively by these independent ACSPs and relevant UK Government authorities.
2.3 Exemption from Processing Liability: As a conduit for data transmission, GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED cannot be held liable for any rejections, compliance failures, standard operational delays, or processing backlogs experienced by our ACSP partners or Companies House. Our sole commitment is to diligently transmit your applications; we do not dictate, influence, or override the internal adjudication processes or decisions of our authorized partners.
3.1 Payment Authorization: All fees for our business services, including government filing costs, must be settled in clear funds prior to the commencement of any service dispatch. We utilize secure, industry-standard payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, or Direct Bank Transfer).
3.2 Third-Party Surcharges: For certain international transactions or wire transfers, minor third-party processing fees or currency fluctuations may occur. These administrative gateway costs are external to our pricing and are the responsibility of the Client.
3.3 Cancellation and Refund Policy: Because our digital systems immediately begin verifying compliance and querying Companies House APIs upon order placement, partial or full administrative fees reflect the resource expenditure at the time of cancellation. Refund requests are subject to internal review. If an application is rejected by the authorities due to incorrect information provided by the client or failure to pass compliance checks, no refunds will be issued for resources already expended.
4.1 Algorithmic Name Checks: The company name search tool provided on our platform checks real-time availability against the Companies House index. However, it does not function as an intellectual property attorney. Final acceptance of any company name rests securely in the jurisdiction of the Companies House registrar.
4.2 Sensitive Words and Alternatives: Should your preferred company name be declined by the registrar because it violates formatting protocols, conflicts with existing trademarks, or includes restricted or sensitive terminology, we will promptly ask you to provide an alternative name to proceed with the formation at no supplemental service charge.
4.3 Processing Standard Timeframes: Standard new corporate formations are generally registered within 24 to 48 business hours following submission by our partnered ACSPs. This is a median estimate and should not strictly be construed as a binding guarantee, given possible delays at the registry level.
5.1 Regulatory Necessity: In total accordance with the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations of the United Kingdom and global best practices, all customers engaging our formation and address services are legally required to pass comprehensive Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance checks. This is a standard procedure utilized to foster a safe, transparent global business environment.
5.2 Digital Verification Standards: We leverage best-in-class, secure digital verification portals to conduct biometric ID checks. You must supply a valid primary Government Photo ID (Passport or Driving License) alongside a verifiable Proof of Residential Address (such as a utility bill or bank statement issued within the preceding three months).
5.3 Compliance Failures: Should any individual associated with an application (Director, Shareholder, or UBO) fail the ID verification process, or if the provided documentation is flagged as irregular, GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED and our partner ACSPs are compelled by law to freeze the formation process. In the event of confirmed fraudulent submissions, we may be obligated to report the irregularity to the appropriate authorities.
5.4 Reseller and Agency Responsibilities: If you are utilizing our platform in a B2B capacity to incorporate companies on behalf of your own third-party end clients, you assume full responsibility for confirming that the KYC documentation transmitted to us is accurate, verified, and free of material fraud.
6.1 Proper Use of Facilities: The provision of a Registered Office Address is a fundamental statutory requirement for UK companies. This specific service licenses you to use our allocated address as the official locus for receiving statutory mail from UK governmental bodies (HMRC, Companies House, IPO, and the Courts). It does not permit the utilization of the address as a physical trading location, retail hub, or general parcel sorting depot.
6.2 Subscription Maintenance: Address services are billed on a 12-month annual subscription. Failure to successfully renew your address service prior to expiration will result in the legal cessation of the license. Consequently, our ACSPs are authorized to notify Companies House regarding the lapsed address, which will result in the address being moved to a statutory default. Continuous renewal is essential to maintain your company's "Good Standing".
6.3 Unapproved Mail Handling: If heavy freight, commercial stock, or unapproved general business correspondence arrives at the facility without a preceding proper business/correspondence mail-forwarding agreement in place, we will notify you to arrange prompt collection or forward shipping at your expense. If no action is taken within 30 days, we reserve the right to securely dispose of the items.
6.4 Right to Revoke Services: In the exceedingly rare event that an address provided by our network is utilized in conjunction with deceptive business practices, confirmed illegal activities, or severe Trading Standards violations, the facility will be immediately suspended to protect the integrity of the address node for all other legitimate corporate clients.
7.1 Reporting Structural Changes: To maintain seamless compliance and uninterrupted service, clients must inform GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED of any material changes to their corporate structure. This includes the appointment or resignation of Directors, alterations in Share Capital or Shareholders, and shifts in Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBOs). Prompt notification ensures our records and ACSP compliance files reflect your current reality accurately.
7.2 Annual Filings: Managing the ongoing life cycle of your enterprise—primarily Annual Confirmation Statements (CS01), Corporation Tax submissions (CT600), and relevant VAT filings—remains the legal responsibility of the uniquely appointed Company Director(s). While our platform offers robust services to assist in compiling these documents, we are not liable for late filing penalties levied by HMRC or Companies House if you neglect to utilize our services or supply information after governmental deadlines.
8.1 Introductory Services: As part of our comprehensive digital service suite, we offer introduction programs and setup assistance for various business bank accounts and Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs), such as Wise, Stripe, Tide, and Revolut. This service is designed to expedite your application process by ensuring proper documentation is presented.
8.2 Independent Risk Assessments: All financial institutions and EMIs operate strict, independent internal risk assessments. The decision to accept or decline an account application is at the absolute discretion of the bank. GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED cannot mandate or guarantee account approval, and processing fees associated with our bank introduction and document preparation assistance are non-refundable in the event a bank declines the application based on their independent risk criteria.
9.1 Scope of Service: The appointment of a Nominee Director via our platform encompasses the basic statutory requirements necessary for company incorporation and routine administrative signatures strictly required for primary government filings.
9.2 Advanced Signatory Requirements: Should your company require the Nominee to endorse complex commercial agreements, substantial corporate loan facilities, or elevated transactional contracts, these documents must be subjected to an internal compliance and legal review by the assigned ACSP prior to signature. In such cases, professional review fees or specialized execution fees may apply.
9.3 Powers of Attorney: If an extended authorization is required to bypass a signature for specialized risk reasons, we can assist in drafting a Power of Attorney (PoA), transferring direct functional capacity to the UBO. The costs for Notarizing and verifying such a PoA remain the responsibility of the client.
As a distinguished provider of corporate solutions, GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED coordinates the sale and assignment of pre-incorporated entities (commonly referred to as "Ready-Made" or "Shelf" Companies) on behalf of our clients. Due to the multi-party mechanics involved, the following specific regulations govern all shelf company transfers:
The assignment of a shelf company often necessitates complex coordination, particularly when migrating an aged corporate entity from an existing third-party holding client (the seller) to a new buyer. We strive to execute all assignments rapidly; however, we cannot definitively guarantee specific completion timelines for these transfers.
Transfer workflows require coordinated digital signatures (e.g., J30 Stock Transfer Forms), extensive compliance (KYC) vetting of the incoming board, and final ACSP validation from multiple entities simultaneously. Processing periods can occasionally be extended due to uncooperative third-party sellers, ACSP compliance backlogs, or processing queues at Companies House. Clients acknowledging these Terms accept that timeline fluctuations in shelf transfers do not constitute a breach of service by GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED.
Shelf and Ready-Made Corporate entities, including all their associated credentials, remain under the full legal ownership and operational control of the original holding entity (or the assigned ACSP) until full financial remittance has cleared, and comprehensive due diligence requirements (KYC/AML) have been thoroughly satisfied by the incoming purchaser.
It is a critical and material condition of sale that the purchaser of a Shelf Company is strictly prohibited from commencing trading activities, executing commercial contracts, generating invoices, opening merchant banking facilities (e.g., Amazon, Shopify, Stripe), or incurring liabilities in the name of the Shelf Company prior to the official transfer registration date.
The assignment of the company is only final the moment Companies House officially updates the public registry to reflect the new Directorship and Shareholder structural changes. Premature utilization of the company name jeopardizes the compliance standing of the holding agents and represents a serious breach of contract, resulting in the immediate cancellation of the transfer.
In the orchestration of a third-party shelf sale, unforeseeable issues may arise where the original registered owner (the seller) becomes unresponsive, declines a compliance review, or delays signing the formal transfer protocols. Should an assigned transaction collapse due to third-party seller default or registry complication prior to the final transfer, GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED reserves the right to gracefully offer a comparable alternative pre-incorporated entity that closely matches the desired structural and vintage profile from our broader portfolio. If no substitution is agreeable, the client’s remedy is strictly limited to a refund of their initial transaction payment. The Company accepts no liability for generalized or consequential business losses attributed to delayed or defaulted third-party shelf company transfers.
11.1 Non-Advisory Relationship: Professional guidance hosted on our platform is formulated for general informational utility. GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED does not dispense specific, personalized legal or tax counsel under an attorney-client or certified-accountant framework. It remains the proactive duty of the Client to seek specialized independent advice pertaining to global taxation, residency, and structural optimization based on their distinct circumstances.
11.2 Maximum Liability Ceiling: To the absolute maximum extent permissible under prevailing commercial law, GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED, alongside its directors, employees, and authorized affiliates, shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, punitive, or special damages—including lost profits, interrupted operations, or loss of contracts—arising comprehensively out of the provision of our digital services, technical delays, or ACSP facilitation.
11.3 Direct Damages Cap: In the event that direct liability is conclusively established by a competent court of law, our total aggregated liability to the Client shall be strictly limited, and will never exceed the total cumulative sum of professional fees paid directly by the Client to GO&PARTNERS UK LIMITED in the trailing twelve-month period for the specific service from which the dispute arose.
These explicit Terms and Conditions, alongside any contractual or non-contractual disputes arising from the usage of our digital platform and corollary corporate services, shall be governed, construed, and enforced exclusively in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The Client unequivocally agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any associated dispute.
