Tide Company Formation
Setting up a limited company doesn’t have to involve paying Companies House registration fees separately, printing certificates, or paying a formation agent. Tide handles all of it — for free — as part of opening a Tide business account.
You get your limited company registered with Companies House, digital copies of your incorporation documents, and a business account ready to receive payments — all through the same setup process. Registration typically completes within a few hours to a working day.
This is genuinely useful if you’re deciding to move from sole trader to limited company, or setting up a limited company from scratch, and don’t want the admin of piecing it all together yourself.
Standard Tide terms apply to the resulting business account — no monthly fees on the base plan, paid tiers available if needed.
Best for: Sole traders ready to incorporate as a limited company, or new founders forming their first company, who want the whole process handled in one place.
The deal: Form your limited company for free through The Self Employed Club and get £20 cashback once you’ve funded and spent £100 through the Tide account within your first 30 days.
Standard Tide terms apply. Cashback paid on completion of qualifying activity. Companies House registration fees included by Tide.
