1stChoice Formations

We are company formation agents and address service operators authorised by Companies House to submit company formation applications online. Our team has been supplying these services since 2011.

OUR ADDRESS SERVICE is provided from an address in the heart of London’s business and professional services district. We were the first formation agent to offer all our address users a free document scanning service. Furthermore, we are the only address service provider to offer an online document storage system allowing clients to access all the post we have scanned for them as and when they need to. This saves our clients a lot of time searching through their emails to find their post.

Our TRANSPARENT PRICING lets clients predict how much we will charge for ongoing services.

In addition to company formations, we have developed expertise in two other services, namely;

COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANIES (CIC): We register hundreds of Community Interest Companies every year and have been doing so for many years. We know the registration system inside out and can complete the process quickly and efficiently. Our charges for this service are lower than the fees typically charged by accountants and solicitors. In fact, many of our CIC orders come from professionals.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMPANY RESTORATIONS: We have developed expertise in restoring companies struck off by Companies House. We act quickly and efficiently and keep clients informed at all process stages. Our fees are modest and transparent. We process several hundred restorations annually and frequently do so on behalf of accountants and solicitors.

SOCIAL ENTERPRISES AND CHARITIES: We have several options for companies limited by guarantees. The possibilities range from companies that clubs and associations can use to company structures suitable for future use as charities. We also have a close association with a small accountancy practice that specialises in charity accounting and, because of their experience as trustees to several charities, can advise on the creation of a Charitable Incorporated Business (CIO)

NON-UK RESIDENT CLIENTS: Our scanning and document storage and filing system makes our service particularly useful to non-UK resident clients. No charge for getting post; it’s all included in the subscription. Consequently, many of our clients are not based in the UK. :

LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIPS (LLPs): Our pricing makes our service particularly attractive to LLPs.
