The Formation Company

The Formation Company is an online service for registering UK companies. Besides incorporation it offers address services, corporate changes, apostille and support with mandatory reporting. Its office is on Old Gloucester Street in London.

Services

The listed services are company formation, corporate compliance, company dissolution and assistance with account opening. Corporate compliance here refers to the annual confirmation statement and accounts that every UK company must file, and dissolution covers closing a company properly rather than leaving it to be struck off. Apostille support is useful when documents have to be accepted abroad, for example by a foreign bank or authority.

Market

The stated market is the United Kingdom.

Who it suits

The service suits founders, including non-residents, who want a UK limited company with a registered address and help with filings. Prices, package contents and processing times are not stated, and should be reviewed with the provider when ordering. A UK company is also frequently used by payment and e-commerce start-ups, so account opening assistance can be a practical part of the offer.
