What Your Company Formations does

Your Company Formations Ltd is a UK-based private limited company (registered in England and Wales, company number 09094616) that operates a self-serve online platform for registering UK limited companies, limited liability partnerships (LLPs), public limited companies (PLCs), and companies limited by guarantee. Founded in 2014 and headquartered at 128 City Road, London EC1V 2NX, the company has facilitated more than 1 million company formations since inception, with cumulative orders exceeding 2 million. The platform serves first-time founders, freelancers transitioning to limited structures, non-UK residents seeking UK corporate presence, and professional advisors (accountants, solicitors) via an Accountant Partner Program, with packages priced from £2.48 to £315 plus a £100 mandatory Companies House filing fee.

The underlying platform integrates AI-powered identity verification, fraud detection, and PEP/sanctions screening as bundled features required under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, for which the firm holds Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) status with Companies House and HMRC AML supervision. An Online Company Manager portal provides post-incorporation administration (filing tracking, document access, billing), while a Digital Mail Room service scans and forwards statutory correspondence. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time formation fees, recurring annual address subscriptions (registered office £29/yr, director service address £28/yr, virtual office £98/yr), transactional filing fees (confirmation statements £90, share transfers £98, etc.), and affiliate/referral commissions from a banking partner network spanning 20+ institutions (Barclays, Monzo, NatWest, Revolut, Wise, HSBC, Lloyds, Zempler, Payoneer, ANNA Money, WorldFirst, Airwallex, GoCardless, Countingup, TSB, Iwoca, Wirex, Pipedrive, Cardone). Go-to-market combines product-led growth through the self-serve platform with channel partnerships via the Awin affiliate network and a community-led Accountant Partner Program offering bespoke/reseller solutions.

The firm is founder-managed under Managing Director Robert Engeham, with 51-100 employees and no disclosed institutional funding or external investors. Customer acquisition is supported by a significant review footprint (4.9/5 Google rating with 5,500+ reviews, Excellent on Trustpilot with 10,000+ reviews), content marketing through a learning centre and YouTube channel, and an Ecologi sustainability partnership that has planted 51,698+ trees per company formed.
