​English Company Law – Introduction to Incorporation 
Introduction Sole proprietorships and ordinary partnerships can be formed quickly and with little government participation. Companies (and limited liability partnerships) are formed at the state's discretion through a formal process known as 'incorporation.' Because successful incorporation creates a 'corporation' (or, as s 16(2) of the CA 2006 puts it, a 'body corporate'), the term 'incorporation' is employed.
