Straightforward company set up, done quickly. I've had some delays around setting up banking as an international director but that's a separate issue. For 1st Formations, so far so good!

Matt was very helpful and informative. He responded swiftly and clearly to my queries and I’m sure I’ll be using 1st Formations in the future to set up the limited company.

Excellent company
Excellent company! They gave me the opportunity to register a new company, and the whole process was easy and smooth. The team was very helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the process. I don’t remember the name of the staff member who assisted me, but she was absolutely amazing. She was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful, and I’m so grateful for her support. I truly appreciate the excellent customer service and highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable business registration services. Thank you!

After a frustrating experience with another company formation provider, 1st Formations was a breath of fresh air. The entire process was smooth, verification was handled efficiently, and communication was clear every step of the way. My company was incorporated without unnecessary delays, and the support team was professional and responsive. I highly recommend 1st Formations to anyone looking for a trustworthy company formation service.
