Thank you for your kind rating, Ahmed! - Shan at 1st Formations.
I had an excellent experience
I had an excellent experience with 1st Formations while setting up my UK company.
As a non-UK resident, I expected the process to be complicated, especially with identity verification and Companies House requirements, but their support team was responsive, professional, and very patient throughout the entire process.
They guided me step by step, helped resolve verification issues quickly, and kept communication clear at every stage. The company was successfully registered, and all documents were delivered promptly.
The included services such as the registered office address, mail forwarding, and company support make the process much easier for international entrepreneurs.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to establish a UK company professionally and efficiently.
Thank you to the whole 1st Formations team.
