Great service - needed my company name changed, simply completed the online contact form. It was actioned and confirmed quickly. Simple and easy -as it should be.

E mails were missed
It took an extra 5 days as the compliance team didn’t check the e mails and I had to ring and chase 2 days running to get the company processed.
I’ve been using you for 10 years and the service has dropped this time

I left a previous negative review as I was disappointed in being cancelled after a renewal compliance check, without specific reason, failed. I have joined another company without any problems which goes to show that over reliance of digitisation causes problems. The complaint was handled well as I received a full refund, but the problem is one of defensive posturing and not admitting that a system is wrong and lack of proactiveness to improve. In this case I suspect the compliance system was sold as '100% effective' whereas in reality the best systems have a human touch. In my case, as opposed to a knee jerk cancellation, pragmatic steps should have been taken: Identification - Admission - proactive change = better quality system. Anyway, it does not matter as I signed up to a new company, it was a few days of hassle, and I'm overjoyed with my new company and service. The moral here is that I know when I am not wanted, and the best way to make a point is to walk, move on and find someone that likes and wants you. Thanks for reading.

I had looked at other companies who offered registration services but I was put off because it felt like the priority was to get you to sign up to other packages which I really didn't want at this time. I prefer to take my time and research my options without feeling rushed. I chose to use 1st Formations because I did not feel any pressure to take up any other offers.

You've been nothing but amazing so far!
From day 1 up to now, all has been going well:
- right after sending all the documentations the follow up is fast and for someone who likes things done on time I really appreciate the speedy replies to the emails when support was needed.
- after every step a notification email and support team ready to help was another big thing to celebrate.
You've made my experience great and I am hoping that the service keeps its high standard and reputation.
Thank you again.

Excellent service from start to finish. The platform was easy to use, the company formation process was seamless, and the customer service team was responsive, helpful, and professional throughout. A great experience overall, I would definitely recommend 1st Formations.

Easy to register and check company name, prompt service and able to provide a service address at a very reasonable rate. Top marks!

The whole incorporation was faster and smoother than I expected. I submitted my details, the identity verification was clear and painless, and the company was registered within a day. Communication was prompt and everything — the registered office, the filing, the confirmation — was handled without me having to chase anyone. As a non-UK founder setting things up remotely, that's exactly what I needed. Highly recommend 1st Formations.

Absolutely perfect. No issues whatsoever. The limited company was set up quickly and efficiently and we were kept informed at every stage. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to set their own limited company up.

Fast, efficient communication and quick clarifications every time!

Incredibly easy to use website and very helpful staff when I called for a query. (Was able to answer my question and guide me through the steps that I may want to take after company was formed.) There's no way it would have been this quick if I'd have tried to do this by myself!
