What does Certificate of incorporation mean?

On the incorporation of a company at companies house, the registrar of companies will assess the documents that have been filed and, if satisfied that the registration requirements of the CA 2006 have been complied with, will register the documents and issue a certificate of incorporation (CA 2006, ss 14–15). The certificate of incorporation will detail the company’s name and unique registration number, the date of incorporation, whether the company is public or private and whether it is unlimited, limited by shares or limited by guarantee, and the location of the company’s registered office. The certificate is conclusive evidence that the company has been incorporated in compliance with the requirements of the CA 2006 and that the company is duly registered.
