How the partner journey works
Sterling Formations links to Tide’s third-party company formation journey. If you choose to open a Tide business account alongside your application, any fee offer is controlled by Tide and is subject to its current terms and eligibility criteria.
Check the current Companies House fee and the partner terms before applying. Application length, account approval, and Companies House processing times vary.
Your application is filed electronically with Companies House, the UK government's official company registrar. Everything is legitimate, official, and exactly the same the same legal incorporation process as any other electronic formation route, while provider fees, optional services, and any partner offer remain separate considerations.
Everything included
- Instant company name availability check
- Electronic filing directly with Companies House
- Certificate of Incorporation (PDF)
- Memorandum of Association (PDF)
- Articles of Association (PDF)
- Share Certificates (PDF)
- Integrated Tide business bank account application
- Partner offer information, where available
Who can use the partner journey
Tide decides eligibility for its account and any related offer. Check the current criteria, fees, and terms before applying:
- Be a UK resident with a UK-based registered office address
- Apply for a Tide business bank account during the formation process
- Meet Tide's standard account-opening criteria
- Be aged 18 or over
Important
Applicants should check the current Companies House fee and pay it as shown in the official application journey. A partner reimbursement, if offered, depends on Tide’s current terms and approval; the company formation application is a separate process.
