What we do

Set-up

Move beyond the basics of incorporation. We handle the technical infrastructure of your business, from banking and cap tables to intellectual property assignment and statutory compliance.

What's included

Outcomes you'll see

Incorporated on solid ground

UK Ltd with founder vesting, Tuli-drafted Articles and a Shareholder Agreement that won't come back to bite you.

Cap table that scales

Signal Equity dashboard with milestone-gated grants — reward real contribution, not job titles.

Tax-efficient share schemes

EMI, CSOP or growth shares with HMRC valuation approved — attract talent without surprise tax bills.

Cash back from HMRC

R&D credits captured in full and SEIS/EIS advance assurance secured — up to 50% income tax relief for your investors.

Structural integrity

Stop wasting momentum on internal admin

You have a vision worth chasing but you are currently bogged down by Companies House filings, shareholder agreements, and VAT registrations. The paperwork is a distraction from your product. Hypergility takes the burden of establishment off your plate. We implement a professional-grade legal and financial stack that works from day one, built for scale rather than shortcuts. Your business becomes an investable entity. You gain a clean cap table, protected assets, and the breathing room to focus entirely on your market without worrying about structural debt. We build companies that are ready for a Series A before they even launch.

What we tackle

Where Set-up can help

Common situations we tackle in the Set-up lane.

Cap table & equity

We run your cap table on our Signal Equity dashboard — keeping ownership, options and dilution crystal clear, and innovatively granting option awards to collaborators for the discrete tasks they actually deliver.

Incorporate & structure

Form the company, set founder and collaborators vesting and shareholder agreements so you start on solid legal ground.

Claim R&D credits

Capture every eligible cost and secure HMRC advance assurance for your research and development (R&D) claim — turning innovation spend into predictable cash back.

SEIS/EIS advance assurance

Check eligibility and secure HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue & Customs) advance assurance under the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), so investors get up to 50% income tax relief on their cheque.

Tax-efficient share schemes

Set up HMRC-approved equity plans — Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI), Company Share Option Plans (CSOP) or growth shares — so you can attract, reward and retain talent without unexpected tax bills.

What you bring

Your commercial premise, the initial core team, and the drive to build something that disrupts the status quo.

What we add

Expert UK company structuring, intellectual property protection, and a robust financial reporting framework.

What changes

Admin friction vanishes. You move from a loose project to a disciplined, high-growth UK corporate entity.
