All fees exclude VAT. Launch also excludes disbursements — third-party costs we pay on your behalf and recharge at cost with no mark-up — for example the Companies House incorporation fee (£100), the confirmation statement fee (£50), and any identity-verification or courier charges. Launch is a one-off fee. Establish and Embedded are ongoing monthly fees that begin once your company is live, with a three-month minimum; no long contracts after that. “From” prices reflect a single-director company with straightforward ownership; we confirm your exact fee before you commit. Bank account set-up is with Revolut Business as standard, subject to its eligibility criteria and your country of residence; traditional-bank applications are supported where you qualify. We cannot guarantee approval by any bank.

Beyond compliance

Need a finance director, not just the filings?

Everything on this site is the UK end of a bigger practice. City Solution — fractional FD runs a full fractional finance director service for founders who need more than clean books — board-ready reporting, budgets and cash forecasting, pricing and margin work, funding and lender packs, and someone senior in the room when the numbers get decided.

It is the same team that forms your company and files its accounts, so nothing has to be explained twice. Embedded is where most overseas groups stop; the fractional FD service is what comes after it.

What a fractional FD adds

  • Board and investor reporting, not just statutory accounts
  • Budgets, forecasts and cash runway you can act on
  • Pricing, margin and unit-economics work
  • Funding rounds, lender packs and due diligence support
  • A senior finance voice at management meetings
  • Scales up and down by the month — no permanent hire

Pricing questions

The fine print, in plain English

Can I pay in dollars, euros, or rupees?
We invoice in pounds so your UK books stay clean, but you can pay by international card or transfer in your own currency — your bank converts it.
What happens when I outgrow Embedded?
You move to a bespoke City Solution engagement — the same team, priced on the hours you actually need. Most clients get there around £2m of UK revenue.
How do Launch, Establish and Embedded fit together?
Launch is the one-off fee to get your company formed and ready to trade. Establish and Embedded are the ongoing monthly fees for running it afterwards. Most clients start with Launch, then move onto Establish or Embedded once the company is live.
