FORMATION RESEARCH

Alex Morgan

Company formation editor

“Most founders only form a company once. My job is to make sure they understand every choice on the application before they pay for anything.”

Biography

Alex leads our coverage of the decisions founders make before and during incorporation: choosing between sole trader and limited company, checking a company name, selecting SIC codes, allocating shares, appointing directors and recording people with significant control. Alex writes step-by-step guides that separate what the law requires from what providers sell as optional extras, so readers can see exactly what they need to pay for.

Alex has spent more than a decade around small-business start-ups, first supporting founders through company registration and business-bank onboarding, then writing practical guidance for new directors. That frontline experience shapes the questions Alex asks of every formation package: what is actually included, what renews, and what a founder could do themselves for free.

At Company Formation Offers, Alex owns the getting-started and registration guides and the reviews of Mint Formations, Rapid Formations and Your Company Formations. Each guide is traced back to Companies House and GOV.UK guidance, with worked examples for common set-ups such as a single director-shareholder, two co-founders splitting shares, and a holding-company structure.

Alex pays particular attention to address privacy and identity verification, two areas where Companies House rules have changed and where founders most often overpay or make avoidable mistakes.
