How Is Mint Formations Different from Other UK Formation Agencies?

Categories Company FormationsPosted on

“Supporting a new business is supporting a dream”.

That’s our philosophy at Mint Formations. It’s this way of thinking that sets us apart from other company formation agents out there. And as our customer reviews illustrate, it’s an approach that UK business owners seem to really appreciate.

There is no shortage of company formation services to choose from; all of whom will promise to dot the Is, cross the Ts, and get your company set up. These formalities are obviously important (and we certainly ensure everything is covered!). But we also appreciate that getting your new company off to the right start requires more than this.

Looking after your new company as if it was our own. Access to exactly the right kind of support at the right time. Straightforward pricing and no hidden charges. These are just some of the things you can expect.

Here’s a closer look at some of the elements that make us different from other company formation agencies…

Friendly service with a personal touch

With a lot of company formation agencies, the process can sometimes feel like being on a conveyor belt. You sign up, pay your fee, complete the details, get added to “the system” – and that’s pretty much it.

This kind of corporate, highly-standardised approach to company formation works for some, but it’s not really what we’re about. At Mint, we work more like a family-owned company formation service on your high street, offering a professional, reliable service with a personal touch. We take care of registering your company with the same level of care as if we were establishing our very own business.

Real-time support from real people

You just need to double check something in the Articles of Association. You need to make a quick change to the shareholder agreement. You’ve got a question about company trademarks. Or maybe you just want an update on timings so you can plan your diary…

In all of these instances, the last thing you need is having to work your way through a chain of recorded messages, or try to explain things to a robot.

With Mint, real-life expertise is just a phone call – or FaceTime session – away. Our knowledgeable support team is on hand to answer each and every query, big or small. And if it’s a complex query requiring more detailed input, we can put you directly in contact with someone who will deliver exactly the information you need.

A straightforward application process

We can either guide you through the company registration application for you to complete yourself, or we can do it on your behalf: whatever works best for you.

While most other company formation agencies require you to struggle through the terms, rules, and associated jargon, we aim to keep it as simple as possible. The result? Everything is covered, while also ensuring that your new company is set up in such a way as to match your business goals.

A complete solution for your startup

Getting a company registered with Companies House isn’t a standalone process. It’s just one of many things you need to think about as you get your business off the ground or take it to the next growth stage.

Choosing the right company name, protecting your IP, getting tax and accounts in line, securing your first customers, setting up a bank account: it can feel like lots of things are happening all at once. It’s exciting, but often daunting, too.

Mint Formations understands this better than anyone. And we’re proud to be able to support up and coming businesses, right from company formation through to accountancy services, and much more.

Here are some of the areas where we can provide support, either directly or through our network of trusted partners…

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a UK company formation agency?

We would strongly advise that you avoid company formation agencies that rely on a one-size-fits-all, conveyor belt approach to setting up a company.

Does the agency have an easy-to-understand process for registering companies? Are they open and transparent when it comes to charges? Will I be able to speak to someone if I have a query? Do they offer comprehensive post-formation support? These are some of the questions you should ask.

And most importantly, don’t just take their word for it; check out independent reviews.

Which site is best for company registration?

We are obviously slightly biased. That said, there are some very good reasons why Mint Formations attracts such a high volume of 5-star reviews from UK business owners. Fast, efficient service, help on hand when you need it, support for some of the trickiest aspects of getting a business off the ground and keeping it running smoothly: these are just some of the reasons why Mint Formations enjoys such a strong reputation.
