Very disappointing experience.
I placed an order to form a UK company and paid the required fees. After my application was reviewed, I was informed that my order had been cancelled simply because I am a resident of Pakistan. No concerns were raised about my identity, documentation, or the legitimacy of my intended business activities.
What made the experience even more frustrating was that £9.99 + VAT was deducted as an administrative fee, despite no company being formed and no service being provided.
Had it been made clear before payment that residents of certain countries are not accepted under their internal policies, I would never have placed the order. Instead, my application was accepted, payment was taken, and only afterwards was I informed that they could not proceed.
I fully understand the need for compliance checks, but customers should be clearly informed of any country-based restrictions before being charged. The process felt unfair, lacked transparency, and resulted in unnecessary delays and costs.
Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service.

Ist formations offer a one-stop place for all businesses' needs, from legal documents to bank account opening; they have you covered. And the best part is that it's delivered in record time. I would recommend anyone to use them for their company registration.

Absolutely outstanding service from 1st Formations from start to finish. The whole company formation process was incredibly quick, straightforward, and stress-free. Everything was clearly explained, the platform was easy to use, and all documents were processed much faster than expected.
Customer support was excellent throughout — professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful with any questions I had. As someone starting a new business venture, they made the entire setup process feel simple and efficient.
I would highly recommend 1st Formations to anyone looking to start a company in the UK. A truly 5-star experience.

I recently used 1st Formations to incorporate a UK company for an independent institutional research business, and the experience has been very smooth so far.
The platform is intuitive, the registration process was straightforward, and the guidance throughout the application was clear and professional. I particularly appreciated the speed of the pre-submission review and the overall efficiency of the incorporation process.
The Covent Garden address services and compliance-related options are also very useful for founders setting up a professional UK presence.
Overall, an excellent experience for entrepreneurs looking to establish a UK limited company quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended.

From opening the website, inserting the information, responses from 1st Formation and receiving confirmation from the Companies House, everything perfect and very fast. The verification process was easy and straightforward. Would rate them 10 out of 10 and use them again.

From start to finish, 1st Formations made the incorporation process straightforward and stress-free. The team was professional, responsive and patient throughout every step. Zineb, George and Verginia were particularly helpful in guiding me through the process. Highly recommend to anyone looking to register a UK company efficiently and with confidence. Thank you to the whole team.
