Why Mint is different

We're not like the others.

Not all formation agents are the same. Here's what separates Mint from the rest - and why it matters for your business.

We call Companies House & HMRC for you

Real people handling real queries - not just software pinging an API. We deal with the red tape so you never have to sit on hold.

All company structures supported

Limited companies, LLPs, Limited by Guarantee, international directors, bespoke articles - we handle all structures, not just the straightforward ones.

Not tied to one bank - 10+ partners, zero bias.

No lock-in. Choose from 10+ banking partners. We have no preference for which one you pick - just the right one for you.

Free lifetime support, post incorporation

Our team stays with you after incorporation - for the life of your company. Real support, no extra charge.

How it works

Here's exactly how we'll register your company.

From choosing a package to incorporated and beyond - we're with you at every step.

Choose your formation package

Digital, Plus, Complete or Ultimate - choose the right one for your business. Every package is loaded with savings and exclusive offers.

Your application, guided by a real person

Our Live Application Assistant is available via chat or call throughout. A real person checks everything before we file.

We submit. You're incorporated.

We file with Companies House on your behalf. Your certificate and documents arrive within 24–48 hours.

We stay with you, for life

Most agents disappear after you've paid. We don't - compliance tracked, red tape handled, and support via WhatsApp, phone or email, for life.

What our customers say

Join over 30,000 happy business owners, from the UK and around the world.

Our clients come from all walks of life - here's what they have to say about our company formation and business support services.

Perfect support for international founders

As a non-UK resident, I wasn't familiar with UK company regulations. Catherine provided exceptional guidance on yearly filing requirements and compliance. Her professional support gave me such confidence that I've since formed two additional companies with Mint. Highly recommended for anyone starting a UK business from abroad.

Maria Rodriguez

Customer support that actually cares deeply

The website is intuitive and easy to use, but what really impressed me was the customer support. I could reach the team instantly via phone or live chat whenever I had questions. Even when I became frustrated, they remained calm and professional, helping me resolve every issue. Outstanding service from the team.

Byrne Harry

Expert guidance when I was really stuck

I was struggling to select the correct business activity codes for my company. The Mint team didn't just answer my questions - they guided me to the exact codes I needed and explained why they were right. Their knowledge and professionalism made the entire process straightforward. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

FAQ

Common questions.

Everything you need to know about forming and running your UK company with Mint.

Can't find what you need in the FAQs? Our support team is happy to help you sort it out.

Contact Support

Can I use any company name?

Your company name must be unique and end with "Limited" or "Ltd". It can't be identical or too similar to existing companies. Our tool instantly checks availability as you type - we'll make sure your chosen name meets all Companies House requirements.

What documents will I get?

You'll receive your certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, and share certificates (if applicable) via email. We can post printed copies if you'd like.

Can I register a UK company if I live abroad?

Absolutely. We specialise in helping non-UK residents register UK companies. You'll need a UK registered office address (we can provide one) and at least one eligible director. Our team handles all the complexities to ensure full compliance.

What if I make a mistake?

Don't worry - most errors can be corrected after registration, usually at no extra cost. Want complete peace of mind? Our expert pre-submission review service (just £5.99) catches any mistakes before we submit to Companies House, ensuring everything is perfect first time.

How long does company registration take?

Typically 24-48 hours after you complete your application. Need it faster? Our guaranteed same-day service registers your company if you apply before 12PM GMT on a business day.

Do you help with business bank accounts?

Yes - we fast-track UK residents through banks like Barclays, NatWest, and Tide. For non-UK residents, we provide tailored alternative banking solutions to get you set up quickly.

What information do I need to register a company?

You'll need basic details for all directors and shareholders: full name, date of birth, nationality, addresses, and occupation. You'll also complete a quick online ID verification with a photo ID, proof of address, and selfie. We guide you through everything step-by-step.

Why use a company formation agent?

You could register directly with Companies House for £100 - but you'd be on your own. We're an authorised Companies House agent (ACSP) who guides you through the process and stays with you after. You get expert support when HMRC writes, help with compliance deadlines, privacy protection, and bundled services that save time and stress. The peace of mind is worth far more than the difference in cost.

Can I keep my home address private?

Yes. Use our director's service address to keep your home address off public Companies House records. This protects you from unwanted mail, calls, and visits while maintaining a professional business presence.

What do I need to do after registration?

You must file annual confirmation statements and accounts with Companies House, maintain accurate records, and pay Corporation Tax on time.

If applicable, comply with VAT and PAYE obligations. Confused about any of this? Call us. This is exactly what our lifetime free support is for - we'll walk you through every deadline and requirement.

Can I change my company details later?

Yes. You can update directors, registered address, shareholdings, share capital, or even convert your company type anytime. Our lifetime free support helps you make these changes smoothly and ensures everything stays compliant.

How to overcome fears and start your own business

by Rajesh Velayuthasamy

About Mint Formations

The formation agent that stays with you.

We started Mint because we believed there had to be a better way. Too many new business owners were being pushed towards the cheapest option - only to find themselves on their own the moment anything got complicated.

We're accountants and business advisors who have built Mint around one idea: that formation is just the beginning, and you deserve support that doesn't end the moment you pay.

We're not a bank. We're not a lead generator. We're an independent company that makes its money by looking after yours - and 30,000 company directors would tell you the difference is real.

Co-founder & Director, Mint Formations

From the founder

"Free is not actually free. The moment you understand what you're trading away - your data, your bank choice, your follow-up support - you realise that honestly priced, genuinely independent advice is worth paying for. That's what Mint is."

Banking partners

10+ bank accounts. Your choice - always.

We work with over ten banking partners. We have no referral arrangement that pays us to favour one over another. We help you compare, and you decide.
