Five steps
First, clarify aim and structure. Second, lock name, shareholders, director model and documents. Third, coordinate incorporation and the register filing. Fourth, set up governance and reporting. Fifth, take on ongoing administration in the agreed scope. The Incorporation & director model service page describes the same sequence.
What stretches the timetable
Incomplete KYC, unclear beneficial owners, a model banks do not understand, or a tax nexus discussed only after filing. Registration itself is rarely the bottleneck. Treat banking and substance work as their own stage, not a footnote to the registry certificate.
What can run in parallel
Banking prep, the director contract and bookkeeping setup can overlap with the registry work once the structure is set. IP Box reviews do not belong in the same phase as first registration. They need the asset and the substance trail.
