Form My Company is a dedicated UK company formation and compliance service created with one purpose: to make starting and running a British business as simple, fast, and stress-free as possible. We are a focused, specialist team, not a giant legal platform, not a faceless automated portal, and we have built our service around what modern entrepreneurs actually need.
We register companies directly with Companies House, handle your ongoing compliance obligations, provide compliant UK business addresses, and support you with VAT, PAYE, and everything in between. Everything we do is fully online, clearly priced, and backed by real people who understand UK corporate law and HMRC requirements in detail.
If you are ready to launch your UK business correctly from day one, you are in the right place.
Who We Are
Form My Company was founded by people who saw a gap in the UK company formation market. The choice available to entrepreneurs was too often a binary one: expensive solicitors and accountants on one side, or cheap automated tools with no real support on the other.
We built a third option, a genuinely specialist service that combines the speed and convenience of a fully digital process with the expertise and responsiveness of a dedicated team. We are not a general-purpose legal services platform that offers company formation as one of fifty product lines. Company formation, compliance, and business support is what we do, and it is all we do.
Our team brings together professionals with hands-on knowledge of UK company law under the Companies Act 2006, Companies House filing procedures, HMRC registration requirements, and the day-to-day realities of running a compliant UK limited company. We stay current with every regulatory change from the identity verification requirements introduced under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 to updates in confirmation statement obligations so our clients do not have to.
Why Choose a Specialist Over a General Provider
There is a meaningful difference between a specialist formation agent and a platform that automates a basic form submission. Here is what that difference looks like in practice.
Accuracy before filing. We review every application before it reaches Companies House. Common errors, incorrect SIC codes, mismatched director names, invalid share structures are caught before they cause rejections or delays. An automated tool simply submits what you enter.
Genuine compliance knowledge. UK company law is not static. Filing deadlines, director obligations, PSC requirements, identity verification rules, and VAT thresholds change. Our team is trained on current requirements, not last year’s.
Real support when you need it. Questions arise about company structure, share classes, whether to register for VAT voluntarily, what to do when a director changes. Our team answers these questions directly, not through a chatbot or a generic FAQ page.
End-to-end capability. Formation is just the beginning. We handle every subsequent step, confirmation statements, address services, document requests, director changes, compliance filings, so you are not left piecing together separate providers at every stage.
Honest About Where We Are
We are a focused business, and we think that transparency matters. We operate from Techspace Shoreditch, 25 Luke Street, London EC2A 4DS, a recognised hub for technology and professional services businesses in the heart of East London’s entrepreneurial community. That address tells you something about who we are: a modern, digitally-driven team working from a serious professional environment, not a kitchen table or a virtual placeholder.
We are not going to claim decades of experience or thousands of completed formations if that is not yet our story. What we can tell you honestly is this: our team has deep, current specialist knowledge of UK company formation and compliance. Our processes are built to the same rigorous standard as the most established agents in the market. Our pricing is transparent and published upfront no hidden fees, no surprise charges at checkout. And our commitment to getting your formation right, first time, is absolute.
We are building our reputation one well-formed company at a time, from a base in one of London’s most active business communities. The best way to understand what we offer is to look at what we do, how we do it, and the clients we do it for.

Our Service Principles
Every service we provide is governed by three standards:
Accuracy. Applications are reviewed before submission. Errors that cause Companies House rejections — incorrect SIC codes, invalid share structures, disqualified director matches are identified and resolved before filing.
Compliance currency. UK company law changes. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 introduced mandatory identity verification for all directors and PSCs. VAT thresholds, confirmation statement requirements, and filing procedures are updated by HMRC and Companies House regularly. Our processes reflect current requirements, not outdated templates.
Transparency. Pricing is published. Timelines are realistic. If a filing will take longer than expected, we say so. There are no hidden fees and no unanticipated charges after you commit.
Regulatory Framework We Work Within
The legal and regulatory context that governs our work:
- Companies Act 2006 — the primary legislation governing UK company formation, director duties, share structures, and statutory filings
- Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 — introduced mandatory identity verification for company directors and PSCs; strengthened Companies House powers to query and reject filings
- HMRC VAT Act 1994 — governs VAT registration thresholds, scheme eligibility, and filing obligations
- Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 — governs PAYE registration and employer obligations
- UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 — governs how we handle and store client data
- Hague Convention (Apostille) — the international framework under which UK documents are legalised for overseas jurisdictions
We file with Companies House and register clients with HMRC directly. We do not use third-party intermediaries for core formation and compliance filings.
