The exact change

Before

Companies House offers standard online incorporation for as little as GBP 50 in 2026, with a same-day service available for GBP 78. Standard online incorporation now costs GBP 100 (up from GBP 50 pre-May 2024) and typically returns a Certificate of Incorporation within 24 working hours. A same-day digital service is available for GBP 78 (up from GBP 30 originally). Standard postal incorporation is GBP 71 and takes 8-10 working days.

After

Companies House offers standard online incorporation for as little as GBP 100 in 2026, with a same-day service available for GBP 156. Companies House fees rose again from 1 February 2026, on top of the May 2024 increase, so figures quoted elsewhere online are frequently out of date. Standard online incorporation now costs GBP 100 (up from GBP 50 pre-May 2024) and typically returns a Certificate of Incorporation within 24 working hours. A same-day digital service is available for GBP 156 (up from GBP 78 between May 2024 and January 2026, and GBP 30 originally). Standard postal incorporation is GBP 124 and takes 8-10 working days.

Suggested change

Fixed a complex fee conflation that had mixed up the "same-day GBP 78" fee with the "standard" fee, updating all fee references to the current GBP 100 standard/GBP 156 same-day/GBP 124 paper/GBP 50 confirmation statement figures, and recomputed the GBP-to-INR currency conversions and cost breakdown totals accordingly.

Why this is better

This complex article conflated the intermediate May-2024 same-day fee (GBP 78) with the current standard fee, and needed the full 1 February 2026 fee increase applied plus recomputed GBP-INR conversions throughout the cost breakdown table.
