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.

Though the website is a little bit dated in look don't let that put you off! Support is excellent! Arun on support is precise and concise. Support is via email and phone – a rarity in this day. The service is rock solid and any issues that I have encountered have been resolved promptly with care. Carry on the great work!

I have been using company formations for a number of years - their pricing is competitive and their service has been great. Easy to call up and sort out any issues over the phone, as I like to call and speak to someone. Highly recommend .

I received a very helpful telephone call from the Customer Services section within one day of notifying the company of the problem. The caller was patient and managed to fix the problem within a few seconds of starting work.
I was treated like a valued customer and I am very happy at the way the problem was dealt with.

We found ourselves in a bind thanks to an unreliable accountant and needed a quick restoration service for our company. 1stChoice offered a great service and supported us every step of the way through what would have been an extremely tricky process if we hadn't opted for them. They offered us advice, support and updates at every turn so we knew exactly what to expect. We highly recommend 1stChoiceFormations because they have offered fantastic service from the outset and made sure that everything was compliant to ensure not only a swift restoration of our company, but a professional one. Thank you!

The information and documents required to process the registration of my company were communicated to me in a clear and unambiguous manner. Upon submission of the requested documents, the registration process was completed promptly and efficiently.
The entire experience was seamless and hassle-free, made possible by the professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness of the staff who handled my application. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail and commitment to excellent customer service.
I am highly satisfied with the service provided and would not hesitate to recommend the company to my friends, colleagues, and anyone seeking company registration services.

Seven years ago, I registered my company with the First Choice Formations. They have consistently provided exceptional service and essential support throughout this period. I highly recommend them as a reliable company formation service in the United Kingdom.

We highly recommend 1stChoice Formations. The online setup process is incredibly fast, simple, and transparent. What we appreciate most is their outstanding support, every time we’ve reached out, they have always helped us exactly when we needed them.
They even helped me solve my issues with Companies House when I was outside the country. Even though it wasn't required of them, they went above and beyond and did extra stuff to make sure everything was sorted. Thank you, guys!
