Inform Direct - www.informdirect.co.uk

When faced with a series of issues that needed addressing I came across this website/service where I was able to download all the company records and information I needed. Immediately I was able to assess what needed to be done to get our company affairs in order, with everything in one place.

I had various questions about how to go about doing things so I emailed the website and got a reply and an offer to call them to discuss in detail, which I did. Their advice was offered freely with no charge.

A few months later, more issues to deal with so I went back to Inform Direct and again, immediate, knowledgeable responses to queries and another crisis averted.

There are some services, for example submitting Annual Returns directly from the website, where there is a nominal charge however there is no pressure to use these services.

If you are responsible for managing a limited company's affairs I highly recommend that you give it a try in the knowledge that if you have issues, the support is right there, waiting to assist you by phone or email.

We came across Inform Direct last week and within a day had input our entire portfolio into the portal. We have already used it to make share allotment changes, submitted annual returns etc. This portal is a super, all encompassing business tool, backed by an extensive knowledge base and great forums. The wizards and tips help you along the way and assist you when you get into areas of non-expertise. £10 per year and no catches?! Bargain of the century!

I was faced with submitting an annual return to Companies House for the first time in my business life and, following a recommendation from a business colleague to use Inform Direct, I found their website and the rest was "plain sailing". It is easy to use, clear in its advice and offers excellent value for money solving what for me was an new problem. I also had need of advice on a related Companies House matter and I e-mailed their help desk on Saturday evening and received a very helpful reply on Sunday morning which to me represented outstanding service.

Brilliant.

We have over 200 shareholders with a lot of transfers and allotments to process each year. Inform makes transfers and allotments easy to carry out and it remembers all the details when it comes to completing the Annual Return. So, something that used to take ages now only takes a moment. Inform Direct really has saved me a lot of time and worry. When I did call with a query the team were able to help me. An excellent service and one I would heartily recommend to anyone with a large number to shareholders

After set up for both the operating and holding company, we had a difficult share allocation which did not feed through from companies house. They contacted us directly to suggest the best method for resolving this and then matched up the information in the system to represent the needs of our statutory filings.

The service is extremely easy to use and the speed of change with companies house helps us to get the most out of our set up without the usual hassle.

I contacted Inform Direct on Friday evening and I received answers to all my questions regarding making changes in the company. I was instructed by one of the staff members how to use the program INFORM DIRECT. Great communication by email and telephone. Thank you very much.

This is the first time I have set up a company and I was a little nervous about the whole process. Inform Direct were responsive, informed and more than happy to answer all the questions I had - even before I set up my firm. The web site was very easy to follow and my company was incorporated within a few hours, all of the paperwork being sent through to me straight away. It was incredible value for money, there were no hidden extras and I also have access to a number of other useful features that they provide. I would recommend Inform Direct to anyone looking to set up their own business.

Loving the service provided by Inform Direct. I have been company secretary before and always found share certificates and keeping track of the admin a real drag. This is so simple, and easy to use, and it takes away the horror of administering a company. I'm all for the simple life! I've also had great near-immediate customer service when I couldn't find something I thought shoukd be there. Of course it was there after all, as the service is really very comprehensive.

The best thing about any software is that it is intuitive so that references to Help become unnecessary - Inform Direct is the definition of intuitive!

It's lightning quick to import Companies House data & easy to tailor & edit in line with any changes.

Altogether a Best Buy!

I am responsible for the company secretary role for 4 different companies. The Portfolio facility within Inform Direct makes it very easy for me to keep on top of all the filing requirements and see at a glance if any action is required for any particular company. The various shortcuts are a real time-saver. Great customer service too.
