We know. We're building FOUNDRS because of it
Most founders spend their first weeks buried in government portals, finding and chasing accountants, and juggling tools that were never designed to work together. Formation agents get you registered, then disappear. Banks ask for documents you don't have yet. Legal templates and your company number live in someone's inbox.
FOUNDRS fixes that. One place to start your business, manage your compliance and stay on top of everything that keeps it running. We'll handle incorporation, compliance and the admin that founders hate, leaving you free to build what matters. No jargon. No guesswork. No lengthy forms. Just smart automation that makes starting simple.
FOUNDRS is a Companies House Authorised Corporate Service Provider (ACSP) and is supervised by HMRC under the Money Laundering Regulations. We can verify identities and submit company information to Companies House as part of your formation journey and ongoing business compliance.
No forms to decode. No jargon. Filed in minutes.
The tools, accounts and partners you need to trade; matched to your business, in one place.

LinkedIn£100 and a government form. Zero guidance, zero aftercare, high risk of a mistake you won't notice for months.
Cheap and fast, but purely transactional. Gone the moment your certificate lands. You're on your own for everything that comes next.
Trusted and comprehensive. Also £150 a month, inaccessible at the moment you need them most, before you've made your first invoice.
Free formation, but recommendations are whatever keeps you in their ecosystem. Bank-first, not founder-first.
Formation is day one, not the finish line. Most tools do their job and disappear. We're built to stay.
Our marketplace recommends what's genuinely right, matched by your business type, not by who paid the most.
The system is confusing. That's the problem we're trying to solve. We're here to make things simpler.
Formation is free. Always. The £100 is Companies House's fee. Not ours. We're transparent about how we make money, from partner referrals and premium tiers.
Whether that's today or in six weeks, we'll be here either way.
Quick details first, then your AI co-founder takes over.
