1st Formations

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.

I signed up to have a company formed for my retirement consultancy and the sign up process was clear and well laid out. Within a few days the certificate of incorporation arrived by email, which was very prompt. The whole thing was handled without any fuss.

Yeah would use again. Set up my company on the site in like a day and the form was easy. Only niggle was the price went up a bit when I added the extra filing option at the end.

I needed a company registered in a hurry for my late husband's consultancy wind-down and a new venture. Their team talked me through each step patiently and nothing was rushed. I am very grateful for the help.

Really happy with this. Signed up on the site on a Tuesday evening and had my company registered within a few days, no faff at all. Their guidance on the paperwork was spot on and the team answered my one question straight away. Would use them again for sure, pretty much the simplest bit of admin I've done this year.

I needed a limited company set up quickly so I could invoice my first client as a contractor, and I had been putting it off for weeks. The setup was simple and the directors and shareholders section was clear enough. They sent the incorporation details fast. Only small thing was the upsell pop up on the last page, which was a bit annoying.

Compared with the high street formation agents I looked at, this came out noticeably better value, and I did not feel I was paying for extras I did not need. I booked the package on a weekday evening and the confirmation email came straight away. The documents turned up in my inbox within the week, which I was pleased about. I would not hesitate to use them again for any future changes to the company.

What stood out most was the fixed fee with no surprise charges later on. The registration itself went through without problems. A small thing: the upsell for the registered office address felt a bit pushy at checkout, so I'd take a look at the basket carefully. Would use again.

Compared to the other formation sites I tried, the sign up was quicker and the price was lower. Only thing I'd flag is the basket page is a bit fiddly on my phone, kept losing my place. Got my company sorted though.

Compared to the accountant we used before, this was a fair bit cheaper for setting up the company. The checkout asked for the usual details and I was done before lunch. Haven't had to chase anything yet.

I needed a limited company set up quickly because a contract I'd been offered wanted it in place before I could start. Was a bit nervous at first but the process was straightforward and they told me each stage. The certificate arrived by email and I could get on with the job, so no complaints.

Compared three company formation sites before picking this one, and the others wanted a lot more money for what looked like the same service. The price was clear from the start with no extras popping up at checkout. Submitted the form, got the incorporation confirmation a few days later and everything was done without me needing to chase anyone.

Setting up a sole trader thing for side work and the detail that stood out was the mobile form. It saved my answers so I could do it in bits on the bus. Got the confirmation through the next day and the email had everything in it. Would use them again.

Honestly it's exactly what you need when you're setting up a company and don't want to faff about. Everything was clear, the paperwork came through fast and nothing was missing. Good value for what you get.

the first thing i noticed was how fast the sign up was, took maybe ten minutes on my phone and i was done. they sent the company docs over by email the same day which was class. only thing i'd say is the upsell popped up twice but you can just say no. honestly if you're setting up a little side business this is the one

Went for the basic formation package as I only needed the registration and a registered office address. Price was a bit lower than the big name firms I looked at, which is why I went with them. The one thing I'd flag is the registered office add-on costs extra each year and the reminder for it came late, but otherwise it did what I needed.

I needed a registered office address for my late husband's consultancy business so that the paperwork could go through. They sorted it out very promptly and the staff were polite and patient with my questions. I am very grateful for their help.

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.
