Copyright of main characters

Hi all, I've written and illustrated a children's picture book and would like to copyright the main characters in the UK and USA, does anybody know how I can go about this through a reliable company? without running into lawyer consultations etc. 

I'm worried sending it out to publishers and illustration agents that someone may copy the idea. They shouldn't in theory i know but it still concerns me.

Thankyou  in advance 

Danielle
