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. Still, they got it sorted in the end.
Read moreUsed 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…
Read moreSigned up on my phone during my lunch break, the form itself was easy enough but then it said the registration was pending and I didn't hear anything for four days. Rang them and they were friendly and sorted it the same afternoon. Once it went through everything arrived fine. Just a bit frustrating when you're waiting on it to get going.
I've done my own company admin for years so I know what should happen and when. The annual confirmation statement reminder didn't come through until I'd already got a letter from Companies House, which is a bit backwards. The filing itself was simple and the documents were all correct. The price for the service is a bit steep if you're only paying for filing, so I'd check what's included first.
