Pricing questions answered
Any reimbursement or fee offer is set by Tide, not Sterling Formations. Check the current offer, eligibility requirements, and payment timing in Tide's application journey before you apply.
Sterling Formations does not add undisclosed fees. Check the current Companies House fee, any provider fees, optional services, and Tide's own account pricing before proceeding.

No. Sterling Formations does not charge annual fees. Note: all UK companies must file a Confirmation Statement with Companies House each year (currently £34 if filed online), and annual accounts — these are government requirements, not charges from us.
Provider pricing varies. Compare the Companies House fee, provider fee, registered office services, document services, and ongoing support rather than relying on a headline price.
