Know before you choose

  • Old pages on theformationscompany.com subdomains still show an International Bundle from GBP 129.99 with a GBP 10 Companies House fee. Those are stale; not used.
  • A different firm with a similar name exists. This row covers the Formation Company that serves theformationcompany.co.uk and theformationscompany.com.

Not published

We could not find these on the sources we read: a published price, whether VAT is in the price.
