Company details
Written by the company
We are company formation agents and address service operators authorised by Companies House to submit company formation applications online. Our team has been supplying these services since 2011. OUR ADDRESS SERVICE is provided from an address in the heart of London's business and professional services district. We were the first formation agent to offer all our address users a free document scanning service. Furthermore, we are the only address service provider to offer an online document storage system allowing clients to access all the post we have scanned for them as and when they need to. This saves our clients a lot of time searching through their emails to find their post. Our TRANSPARENT PRICING lets clients predict how much we will charge for ongoing services. In addition to company formations, we have developed expertise in two other services, namely; COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANIES (CIC): We register hundreds of Community Interest Companies every year and have been doing so for many years. We know the registration system inside out and can complete the process quickly and efficiently. Our charges for this service are lower than the fees typically charged by accountants and solicitors. In fact, many of our CIC orders come from professionals. ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY RESTORATIONS: We have developed expertise in restoring companies struck off by Companies House. We act quickly and efficiently and keep clients informed at all process stages. Our fees are modest and transparent. We process several hundred restorations annually and frequently do so on behalf of accountants and solicitors. SOCIAL ENTERPRISES AND CHARITIES: We have several options for companies limited by guarantees. The possibilities range from companies that clubs and associations can use to company structures suitable for future use as charities. We also have a close association with a small accountancy practice that specialises in charity accounting and, because of their experience as trustees to several charities, can advise on the creation of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) NON-UK RESIDENT CLIENTS: Our scanning and document storage and filing system makes our service particularly useful to non-UK resident clients. No charge for getting post; it's all included in the subscription. Consequently, many of our clients are not based in the UK. : LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS (LLPs): Our pricing makes our service particularly attractive to LLPs.

A customer experience everyone deserves.
Seamless process that gives positive customer experience.
Well thought out questions allowing the customer to think of what their immediate needs (in terms of company registration) are , which then allow the customer to appreciate what the possibilities are.

Easy, simple and no worries
Communication was through email with fast replies. As a non-resident, I'd tell you that once you prepared the required proofs for identification then everything will go smoothly with 1st Choice. In my case I didn't have what was really required and they waited almost one week for my address proof.

Blown Away by Speed and Service
I used 1stChoice Formations to set up my UK company, and they processed everything in record time. I was genuinely amazed — no delays, no confusion, just smooth execution from start to finish. Their customer service deserves special mention: responsive, professional, and committed to helping clients succeed. As someone managing multiple ventures virtually, I needed efficiency and trust — and they delivered both. Highly recommended.

great experience
I had a great experience with 1st Choice Company Formations. The process of forming my UK company was smooth and professional from start to finish. Their team guided me step by step, always keeping me updated on the progress. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to respond with clear and helpful answers. They also handled all the compliance requirements efficiently, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciate their professionalism and excellent customer service, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to set up a company in the UK.

Highly Recommend – Hope to See Multi-Company Option Soon
Really happy with the service from 1st Choice. They made setting up my company simple and stress-free. The team was helpful, professional, and quick to respond to any questions. One small downside is that individuals can currently form only one company with them — it would be great if they allowed multiple company formations. Still, I highly recommend them!
