Simple change of address update took longer
Earlier the registration were a breeze this time it took unusually longer with simple updates like change of address but follow up and then call and then again follow ups - delayed the registration like by a month

Fast, professional, and reliable company formation service
I used 1st Formations to register my UK company , and the entire process was exceptionally smooth and efficient. Their platform is straightforward, customer support is responsive, and they provide great partner offers to help jumpstart business operations. Highly recommended for international entrepreneurs looking to establish a presence in the UK.
