Not sure where you get that from, but not true. The only legally-binding
thing is to get the Swears done, which are about a fiver a time.
"Form 12
This is the declaration of Compliance with the Companies Act 1985 in
respect of the registration. Once the Memorandum and Articles of
Association (see below) have been completed, this must be signed in
the presence of a Solicitor, Commissioner for Oaths, Notary Public or
Justice of the Peace."

Is that what you mean by "the Swears"? I have no idea what it costs,
having never done it before, but it requires going to a solicitor,
which is what I'm talking about (perhaps "sign off" wasn't the best
choice of words, but they have to sign the application). If we're
going to visit a solicitor (and presumably give them money), it might
as well be a solicitor than can actually advise us.
