StartMy vs 1st Formations
"Get more than just a certificate."
myLO's Verdict
AI Analysis
AI Launch Officer: We help you start, not just form.
The Insider Reality
""They are great at filing forms, but then they leave you. StartMy stays with you to write your business plan, find customers, and suggest tools.""
The Context
1st Formations is a thorough, reliable, traditional formation agent. They are excellent at what they do: processing documents with Companies House. If all you want is a certificate PDF and nothing else, they are a solid choice. But starting a business requires much more than just a certificate.
The Why
StartMy differentiates itself by what happens after the formation. 1st Formations will email you your documents and wish you luck. StartMy introduces you to myLO, your AI Launch Officer. myLO analyses your new company and immediately begins generating value: drafting your business plan, suggesting domain names, creating a localised marketing strategy, and recommending the specific tools (insurance, banking, CRM) you need for your industry. We don't just birth the company; we help raise it.
The Verdict
Choose 1st Formations if you want a silent admin service. Choose StartMy if you want an active partner that uses the latest AI to accelerate your journey from "Registered" to "Revenue".
