I never received response to the queries I raised and they never fulfilled the order by posting the materials as ordered in the package. Will recommend you to avoid this company.

Had to quickly set up my Limited company with a bank account. Got stuck on what shares I needed and they advised me and talked me through. Overall a good speedy experience.

Avoid this company at all costs

Avoid this company at all costs. Customer Service is absolutely shocking. They don't reply to emails, contact is via a premium rate number if you call them and just end up on hold endlessly at the customer's expense.

I would give it a zero.

Their service is no service.
They are a scam. After you pay, they will ask you for documents you can't provide, which are not officially necessary. After you provide them, they will find other reasons to refuse to serve you. When you need a refund, I'm sorry, but they don't have any positive response even if you apply for a refund within 14 days. No response, no refund.
Disgusting company.

Absolute shambles of a company

Absolute shambles of a company. Spelling mistakes and mixed up addresse, putting my home address as the company address, then charged us for the privilege of correcting it! Despite the correction, I’m now receiving company junk mail to my home address and my home address is scattered everywhere online. Fuming!

Refuse to communicate or respond to my emails.

Tried to contact them twice by email and at least five times by phone to request the authentication code which they should have provided when the company was formed, and which is necessary to file the Confirmation Statement.No response whatsoever, they are delibarately witholding the code,probably because they wanted to do the business themselves. I'll never do business with them again, and advise others to do the same to avoid poor service.

Swift Formations: A TOTAL SCAM

Swift Formations is a joke of a company. Their proposition is not delivered. It is almost impossible to reach them by phone. (The 0161 no. is inoperable, the premium 0870 number invariably announces via recording they are busy, requesting you call back later.)

I paid over £400 for premium service with multiple add-ons. Nothing delivered! After 2 days I managed to speak to a woman, who blamed Companies House backlogs. A 3rd day (day, not the promised 3 hours) elapsed, with multiple calls unanswered. That night I logged on, to find all my services still pending, but the premium registration (£240) 'REJECTED'. This is bogus!

The next day I successfully registered the same company details via 1st Formations; a genuine, efficient and HONEST company. Avoid Swift-Formations; total scam artists! Legal action is in hand.

Terrible people

Terrible people. Ignore all calls and emails. Take your money and run. 2 months later and no reply after taking my money.

If they have your CC details make sure you contact your bank to make sure they don't charge you again.

Poor service post-formation

Poor and I won´t use them again. A great pity because Swift used to be good. I´ve been a client since 2004 and after a long gap I formed a company with them in December 2019. All went fine until April 2020 when the registered office mail forwarding dried up. Then in November 2020 they changed the registered office from London to Blackburn. NO ANSWER to emails or telephone calls, and they´ve charged my credit card to renew the registered office service even though I cancelled it.

They are thieves

They are thieves. Avoid. They keep charging my credit card although I specifically told them I don't want to renew and didn't reply when I enquired them.

Terrible Communication

Initial set up was ok, but then the additional services were not set up. No domain name, no VAT registration, and no response from complaints regardless of numerous emails. Avoid.

Response came back after two days (not 1-3 hours) and said my application was declined - log in for reason. When I logged in my entire application, plus my existing company registration of another company disappeared. Emailed them about it, not heard back from them in days. Now it seems like the website is down... Doesn't look good.

Doesn't happen in 3 hours. Lies. Nobody answers the phone or the email address either. I went to another company and had this sorted within a few hours

Avoid them

Set up was fine but afterwards totally uncontactable - also (despite 10+ emails chasing) they never gave me the free domain name!
I will never use them again, and have just used 1stformations.
