Hey Hustlers!! For everyone asking for recommendations I've posted the links lower down in this comment:
Schedule a 1-to-1 coaching call with me: bit.ly/3UbUSeN
Virtual office: 1st-formations-limited.sjv.io/c/2683763/899281/12045
I highly recommend 1st formations. Their virtual office service includes mail forwarding etc, it's great and cheap in comparison to most out there. They also offer tons of other helpful services to help with setting up a business :).
Cheapest Money Transfer: wise.prf.hn/l/RvlnvQ9
Wise, previously known as TransferWise is not only the cheapest but I've found it also the safest and fastest + you get your first international money transfer for free (up to £500):
Business Bank Accounts: revolutbusiness.ngih.net/QODQzP
Revolut is a great challenger bank, they have tons of features and lower running costs than most high street banks.
More importantly, thanks for all the comments and I'm happy to help as much as I can so feel free keep them coming!
Thanks make, this is amazing value!! I’m kinda new to this stuff - wanted to ask when your registering your limited Company would you need your personal VAT number at hand.?? And also with 1st formations websites what package could I go for when I’m registering my company,
Would it be advisable to go for the basic or top package? As I don’t have an office and I do not want my Home address to be made public, is there a way that 1st formations can secure and protect your address? Thanks mate look forward to get your input.👍👍
Hey, no you won't need a personal VAT number when registering a limited company! The package depends on what you need. 1st formations offers 3 different addresses: 1. Business Address (this isnt required for companies house but can make your company look more official, which you can use on product packaging, website etc. it costs £96/year). 2. Service Address (which is for your company officer and you'll need one to register a company with companies House. It costs £26/year) and 3. Registered Office (This is required to register your company and is where letters from companies house go, it costs £39/year).
So you can basically choose and pick what you need 😊.
Hope that helps!
@@TheHolisticHustle right right thanks bro really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this recommendation 1st Formation are actually amazing and the reviews are great !!
Literally signed up today !
Thanks again ☺️👍
Great stuff! Happy you found it helpful 👍
As an accountant myself, I would recommend this video to anyone. Really informative!
Thanks for the comment, it’s much appreciated 👍
Fantastic video. They should really teach this stuff in schools.
Hey Raul, I couldn't agree with you more!
A little convenient they don't teach people to be independent.
Where you see chance I see calculation.
Schools are there to create work force and basic labour not independent businessmen and women. It's up to you to know it and act accordingly
Then there will be no employee. Everyone will be an employer hhhhhhh
Couldn't agree more
I've just watched both your videos. Clear, simple and easy to follow. Thanks so much, you've saved me a lot of time and money. I'm looking forward to more. Subscribed

Thanks Frankie! My pleasure and good luck with your business 🙌

Thanks for the video helped me out a lot. Just in the final steps of registering my business. I have learnt that if you have dreams and goals you want to achieve you must act and not be hesitant and believe in your self. Whish the best to all of you guys, and I mean it 🙏. Let's chase the bag and make it happen 💪🙌
I couldn't agree with you more! Just remember to be persistent and not give up at the first hurdle, or any of the following hurdles .. let's get it! 🙌
It was an awesome video, super clear instructions and tells you exactly what you need to do and shows you how to do it!
Thanks Milda, I'm very glad I could help! Good luck with the business 🙌
No BS straight to topic, useful information. Loved it.
Glad you liked it! And good luck with your business 🙌
Please share it on Facebook/Twitter/UA-cam if you think it will help others!

Glad it was helpful Zakary and best of luck with the hustle!
This is some insane value, keep it up man!
Thanks for the comment dude 😊👍
This video has literally answered all my worries about setting up a Ltd company,thanks 🥰👍
My pleasure mate! I hope your business goes well 🙌
Love the way you explain. None of the videos have explained difference of addresses. Hatsoff
My pleasure Shah! I wish you all the best 🙌
I've been really nervous about setting up a limited company. You have totally put me at ease with this excellent, intuitive video. Thank you so much.

Absolutely my pleasure, thanks for taking the time to let me know that it helped. I get a big positive feeling knowing that the content is appreciated so thank you too! 😊
After how much time does you get the company registration number ?
Make sure you are properly insured, check out the Flaxmans channel for info and advice for business owners.
Phenomenal video!! I'm just about to register a company, and this video answered so many questions. Cheers mate!
Glad I could help David! All the best with the business 🙌

Thanks Tamara! Direct and concise without the fluff is always the best way.. Good luck with the business 🙌
This was extremely helpful, thanks!
I'm glad I could help! 😊
Hey Mario, absolutely brilliant video mate. Thank you!
One question:
What should you file the ‘principal place of business’ if you’re planning to work from a property that you haven’t got yet?
Hey AJ,
I'd say just use an address you have access to at the moment and once you've moved to the new address submit a confirmation statement to get the details changed 👍.
Hope that helps and give me a shout if you need anything else!
Another brilliant time saving video that prevents you banging your head against the wall. Top man, just finished mine.
Haha I know the feeling! Great stuff and good luck with the business 🙌
Congratulations Mario your video was perfect, I was in doubt of how to open my company and you were perfect in step by step. Thanks.
Thanks Joice 😊
Hey Mario, I've found both your videos incredibly helpful, and am really looking forward to the one on VAT. I bet others are too :)
Hey Gav, thanks for the comment. You'll like the VAT one, it's an absolute beast, so far it's taken me 3 months to write 😂 (mostly due to issues with brexit), but I'm almost done, fingers crossed I should be filming it next week!
Hi, I've just watched your video. just wondering if you could help, when registering a LTD business does it give you the option to put two directors in or is this done after ??
Hi Simeon,
Yes it does give you the option during the registration process. You need at least one director in a limited company but there's not actual upper limit to the number of directors you can have. Hope that helps! 👍
Thanks for all the help Mario!
Set up our first LLC for our film production company :)
Hey Dan, that's great to hear, absolutely love it! I wish you the very best of luck with your new business and let me know how it goes 🙌🙌
Thank you very much. This helped me a lot especially as a young man with not much business guidance, they never teach this stuff in school, but they should!
I couldn't agree with you more! Practical business skills like this and life lessons such as how to be a good person, how to negotiate etc would go a very long way 👌
Just watched and it was great, one question. I looked at your business address link which seems great at convent Garden
I looked at opening monzo business account and it seems they will only send a card to the business address and not my secondary home address
Do you know any solutions as London would be a long way for me to go to pick a card up 🙂
Looking forward to the rest of the videos
Hi Adam,
The business address link which I have provided should include a mail forwarding service which means they will forward on any mail which they receive in your name to an address of your choice.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Mario
Great video man! One quick question, I registered myself as a sole trader but then figured it is better for me to register as a Limited Company. I already have my UTR number from the first. Do you think I should change that to Limited Company or just start a new Limited Company? I hope that made sense. Thank you.
Apologies for the late response but I hope you utilised all the info and you’re all set up now! Good luck with your business!
Very very helpful! I've been procrastinating and I finally did it thanks to your videos! Very clear and easy to follow! This video deserves millions of views
Great to hear!
I rarely comment on videos but I just want to say thank you!!! You have saved me so much time as this was the only hurdle preventing me from creating Facebook Ads to advertise my Shopify business.
Thanks for the comment Priestly, I'm glad I could help and I really wish you the best of luck with your business 🙌
Can the virtual address be used for Director's address and Registered office address, does this need to be specified when choosing a company providing virtual office addresses - can you recommend any websites for budget-friendly London virtual addresses? Thanks.
You can check out the companies at this address: www.gov.uk/government/publications/formation-and-company-secretarial-agents/company-formation-agents-and-secretarial-agents
Apologies for the late response but I hope you utilised all the info and you’re all set up now! Check out the videos description for information on virtual addresses 🙌
Thank you for this video! I have successfully setup my first limited company! Such an achievement!
Congrats, I wish you the best of luck with your new business!

Excellent breakdown, thanks. used it recently and most info still applicable (sans price.... of course its 50 quid now. cheers rishi et. al!). many accountancy firms will change in excess of 1k for this service so very much worth the squeeze.
Hey Guy, I couldn’t agree more and believe it or not it costs well over £1k to register a business in some countries so we still have it good 👌
Brilliant video mate, was thrown off with the shares part but you have explained it perfectly!
Thanks Logan, there's always something to throw you off but as long as you understand and remember the main jist of it then success should follow 🙌
