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.

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.

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.

Pros I have been looking for something like this and this has been the end of my search and problems. When you are running a company with an average turnover no crossing a million pounds its must for you to sign up. Cons The idea is still in sort of beta stage and thus a lot of innovation is still waiting to be implemented but as I have been told they got it in their pipeline so its not an actual problem.

I like the service delivery platform for its ease of use. More importantly, I have enjoyed the level of support that the team has given me. I am definitely going to recommend the Inform Direct team within my circle. All the best. Keep up the good work.

Such a simple, easy to use service makes corporate filing so much easier - especially for smaller companies which lack the sophistication of knowing all the rules. Great and responsive customer service - it is a bargain that no company can afford to be without. I have used it for one company and plan to add others as well. Its intuitive and fairly foolproof - if only Companies House used it! I highly recommend it to all. James B. Gambrell, Chairman Silent Sensors Limited C.Dir IoD, I.ICD

Setting up a company was incredibly quick and easy. Everything worked as advertised from checking name availability to final payment and submit.The layout was clean and logical and the progress of your application is shown through out. The only problem I had was that I had made a mistake in share allocation and couldnt find a way of editing this so I had to remove the name and re-enter the person. Apart from that all the prompts and on screen helps make sure you complete the application with few problems. The confirmation email also came back really quickly l did have to call Help once as I had not read the instructions on the home page very carefully, but the phone was answered quickly and courteously. Good value for money and I would recommend highly.

I am required to keep on top of 250 shareholders. I have to deal with both transfers and allotments of new shares and I need to be alert because there are 2 different share classes. Inform Direct has made my job much easier. Being able to produce professional looking share certificates is a bonus. While I was getting used to the system the staff at Inform Direct were very helpful. I would recommend Inform Direct to anyone with a large number of shareholders to manage. I should also say that completing an annual return used to take me ages so when I found that inform Direct did this too I was delighted. Thank you Inform Direct you have saved me a lot of time.

We have over 350 individual shareholders with a reasonable amount of turnover each year. Completing an Annual Return used to take me absolutely ages. Inform Direct made this irksome task really easy. I simply supplied them with a list of all the shareholders and they were able to upload this. I checked the data and for the first time was able to electronically submit an Annual Return. Hurrah! I got an e-mail acknowledging it had been sent and then another confirming it had been accepted by Companies House. Just Brilliant. Thank you Inform Direct

I have used this site to incorporate my company and I have to say that it was a quick, efficient and simple process. Well laid out and easy to follow I cannot commend it highly enough. I found the process was really quick and the site was so clear in terms of design and the language they have used. I will without doubt recommend this to others and use this for my own transactions going forward. I also had reason to speak to informdirect who really know their stuff and gave excellent customer service. Great service well delivered
