This is the cheapest clean option for a standard UK limited company and it does the job properly. I've set up a few companies for clients, so I know what Companies House expects, and their filings were correct first time. The documents arrived digitally the same week I paid, which is all you want from a formation provider.

This time I ordered the usual filing and the reminder email never came, so it nearly went past the deadline. When I rang the team it took three days for anyone to reply.

Used them to set up a limited company for my freelance design side project and the online form took maybe twenty minutes to fill in, which was faster than I expected. Had the certificate of incorporation emailed through in about five working days. Their customer service chat answered my question about the registered office address within the hour. Only thing was the bank account letter took another week to arrive by post, so I was chasing that for a bit.
Compared with the big formation agents I looked at, this was noticeably cheaper for the same filing. Only niggle was the confirmation email took a while to arrive after I paid. Otherwise fine.
Needed to get my limited company set up fast because a client wanted proof of registration by Friday. Site was easy enough, filled in the bits they asked for and got the docs through in a day. Nothing much else to say really.
