Abolsutely horrific customer service. Nobody replies for days and when they do it's irrelevant to the problem. No help whatsoever. The "24 hours" they claim it takes to open a company is a complete LIE! I bought the most expensive package from them and it's been a week now that I haven't even had my identity verified because they keep sending broken links!!!! STAY AWAY FROM 1ST FORMATIONS!

The team at 1st Formations did a great job sorting out my company formation, customer service was excellent.

Setting up ClubWiz Ltd with 1st Formations was incredibly smooth. The whole process was straightforward, and the Privacy Package gave us a professional registered address. Highly recommend for anyone starting a UK limited company.

First formations takes the headache away from you upon opening a business and all the paperwork side of things to set up. It was quick and easy to do online and there is a phone number if you need help (which I had a couple of questions; which were answered promptly).
They have many options to serve many types of new business. I got everything I needed by email within a couple of days.

Very easy process, with every step clearly explained. Would recommend the all inclusive package, due to everything that included, the communication and support.

1stFormations have been a major support in my role maintaining a UK entity for our company. Yana, our point of contact, was exceptionally helpful, and was able to resolve most of our issues with just a few phone calls.
1stFormations help to avoid any issues with submissions when dealing with Companies House, saving significant time and cost for the various administrative processes.

I cannot recommend 1st Formation highly enough. From start to finish, the process of setting up my limited company was seamless, efficient, and surprisingly stress-free.
Their website is incredibly clear and easy to navigate, guiding you through each step without any confusing jargon. After comparing a few services, their pricing was transparent with no hidden fees, which was a major plus.
The real standout, however, was their customer service.

Very disappointing experience. Before placing my order, I contacted 1st Formations (Ticket #2339574) specifically to confirm whether I was eligible and if my situation as a Tunisian resident would be accepted. Their reply did not warn me about any country restrictions. Based on their pre-order email, I proceeded with the payment in good faith.
Right after I paid, my order was suddenly cancelled due to internal restrictions that they failed to disclose beforehand. This refusal came after I had clearly asked the support team for confirmation. This is unacceptable for a professional formation agent.
Although the refund was eventually completed, the process showed a serious lack of transparency and poor communication. I do not recommend this service for non-UK clients who expect upfront clarity and honest information before committing financially.

it's a lie, cheating and fraud, !!
I never thought there was such bad customer service!!
I have placed an order with them to set up a company which they market themselves with is easy and simple. it is the most difficult process I have seen in a long time.
The order number has been sent to them. they have withdrawn the money.
They say they should have sent me a PVC number but they haven't and I have tried to contact them and no one can answer me or help me further
STAY FAR AWAY FROM 1ST FORMATIONS, CHEATING FRAUD!

Im not sure about this company anymore. I've had no post forwarded to me all year for my business and they claim not to have received any. In the past I had about 10-12 items of post a year and I cannot believe it would have dropped to zero. Very concerning and not easy to check if any post is missing

Excellent service. Well organised, professional and supported with good communication.

We picked 1st Formation after comparing a few options because they seemed reliable and offered good services. Their customer service is nice, but the actual work they delivered was a bit disappointing.
They got our shareholder names wrong at first, and then rejected our proof of address even though it should’ve been fine. We ended up having to call them to double-check things because the email communication wasn’t great. But once we called, the lady we spoke to was super helpful.
Overall, they’re trustworthy, just be ready to be patient and expect some human mistakes. If emails get confusing, definitely give them a call. Our experience was okay, but they really need to pay more attention to details and speed up their communication.

The services offered are excellent. The team works fast, reliable and friendly. I use their services for all my UK companies. Thank you
