I had an excellent experience with The Formation Company.

After many failed attempts to verify my identity through GOV.UK One Login, their team—especially Ed from Customer Support—helped me complete the verification quickly and professionally.
They reviewed my case carefully, offered clear communication, and even guaranteed a refund if verification was not possible.

Everything went smoothly — payment, document upload, and final confirmation.
I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs reliable and secure identity verification for Companies House.

A helping hand for the clueless

Having recently taken over a small business, I was a total "fish out of water" when it came to setting it up.
The Formation Company (particularly Ed - Thanks Ed) have been exceptional and invaluable; coaching me through the whole process.
I am very happy to recommend them to anyone like me that doesn't have a clue and needs a handhold through the grown up stuff.

customer service is not helpful

customer service is not helpful. reply is slow and cannot solve my problems. i finally need to fix everything on my own to establish my company even i paid for the most expensive package.
but anyway, my company successfully established, so you get a passing score.
