Lawyer37It’s understandable to be cautious when something sounds too good to be true, especially when it comes to free services like estate planning. However, after reviewing Viva Planning’s website, I found some useful details that should help ease your concerns.
Their website includes a business number and a link to their listing on Companies House, which is a good indicator of legitimacy. Upon checking the Companies House page, I found the following information:
Company Name: VIVA FACILITIES MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Company Number: 12811391
Company Status: Active
Incorporated on: 13 August 2020
Accounts:
Next accounts made up to 31 January 2024, due by 31 October 2024
Last accounts made up to 31 August 2022
Confirmation Statement:
Next statement due by 23 April 2025 (last statement dated 9 April 2024)
Nature of Business (SIC):
69109 – Activities of patent and copyright agents; other legal activities not elsewhere classified
The nature of business under 69109 is correct for estate planners and legal activities not elsewhere classified, which covers services such as estate planning. Everything looks fully above board, and the company is operating actively and within its legal requirements.
In short, based on the review of their legal registration, the company appears to be legitimate and compliant with regulations.
