Tell us what you want to know as what you ask is a pretty broad question.

There are plenty of companies who can provide this service.
I currently use Interactive Investor (iii). If you do a forum search for isa providers you'll find plenty to choose from.

The share centre (Share.com) do ISAs for shares and you would need to check their site to get the price of the service. I only use them for buying individual shares for which they charge £7.50 per deal. They are very professional and nice to do business with.

There is another company people have been talking about and which charges approx £5 to buy shares but I am not sure if they arrange ISAs - they are called X-O. You need to do a bit of research before choosing which shares to put in the ISA. Share.com make it easy to look up any individual share - current price, dividend if any and brokers opinions etc.

I also use III as they have no annual management fee, and i pick my own shares to put in it.
You get £10200 per year i think, of which a max £5100 can be cash - im sure there are plenty of sites on the net to confirm whether this is correct. You can use anything that isn't cash up to this amount in a shares ISA. This year i chose to put the full 10.2k into shares isa. It's pretty simple and i was totally new to investing 6 months ago too. You can also play about with buying at a particular price and the share builder scheme. Don't forget, you can't buy AIM shares unless they are dual listed.
