Why Mint Formations?

Built by business owners, for business owners

We've built and run multiple businesses ourselves. We know the excitement, the uncertainty, and the moments where you just need someone to pick up the phone and give you a straight answer — not a FAQ page, not a chatbot, not a ticket number.

We built Mint because we couldn't find a formation agent that treated founders the way we wanted to be treated. So we became one.

Our story

The formation market was built for volume. We built Mint for people

What we saw

We looked at the company formation market and saw the same thing everywhere — faceless corporates racing to process as many registrations as possible, as fast as possible, at the lowest possible price. Banks offering formation for next to nothing, not because they care about your company, but because they want your current account. Automated platforms sending certificates without anyone checking whether a single detail was actually correct. File the form. Issue the certificate. Move on to the next one.

What nobody was asking

Nobody was thinking about the founder sitting at home three months later wondering whether they need to register for VAT, how to handle mileage claims, or whether using their spare room as an office affects their tax. Or six months later when an HMRC letter arrives they don't understand.

Or a year in, when they want to change their registered address, add a shareholder, or need a privacy policy for their new website and have no idea where to start. These aren't unusual questions. They're the questions every founder asks - and exactly the kind we're here for.

So we built something different

A formation agent that starts with people, not process. One where real humans check your application before it goes anywhere near Companies House. Where the phone gets answered — by someone who knows your name and your company - not just on the day you register, but in year two when the questions you didn't know you'd have start showing up.

We're not trying to be the biggest. We're not trying to be the cheapest. We're trying to be the one you're still glad you chose three years from now.

Meet the team

The people who pick up the phone

Every person on this page is here because they genuinely care about getting it right. This isn't a call centre. These aren't chatbots. These are the people you'll actually speak to - before you register, during registration, and long after your certificate arrives.

Andy Tree

Managing Director

Andy co-founded Mint with a simple belief - that founders deserve real guidance, not just a form to fill in. He sets the tone for everything Mint is: personal, accountable, and built around people.

Rajesh Velayuthasamy

Chairman

Raj knows what it feels like to start from scratch - because he's done it himself. His story, and why it led to Mint, is told in his own words below.

Ganesh Ranganathan

Director

Ganesh has been instrumental in shaping Mint's growth since day one - bringing the strategic thinking that keeps the team focused on what matters most: the founders we serve.

Jagdeep Bhachu

Operations Manager

Jagdeep keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. When your experience with Mint feels effortless, it's usually because Jagdeep made it that way.

Katrina Andrews

Client Relations Manager

Katrina is often the first voice you hear at Mint. Calm, warm, and always prepared - she sets the tone for every interaction that follows.

Nandha Kumar

Accountancy Manager

With a degree in commerce, ICAI certification, and 16 years in accountancy, Nandha is the person you want when post-formation compliance starts getting technical.

Cathy Hall

Customer Services Manager

Cathy is the person to call when the financial side starts feeling overwhelming. VAT, director's allowances, HMRC letters, tax deadlines - she's heard every question a new owner can throw at her, and she makes the complicated feel completely manageable.

Mary Franklin

Formation Specialist

Mary specialises in helping founders based outside the UK. Residency questions, registered addresses, opening a UK business bank account, staying compliant from abroad - she's helped people from every corner of the world get set up without the confusion.

Amy Williams

Formation Specialist

Amy handles everything from company formation to registered address services - and brings a sharp eye for process that means nothing gets missed. If you're a business with multiple requirements, Amy is your person.

Brandon Sykes

Post-Formation Advisor

Brandon's job starts where most formation agents stop. Companies House filings, compliance deadlines, digital presence - he helps founders stay on top of what comes after registration, so nothing quietly slips through the cracks.

Leon James

Formation Specialist

Leon is the definition of versatile - equally comfortable on calls, live chat, and supporting the back end team. Whatever you need, Leon can handle it.

Peter Wilson

Client Services Advisor

Peter is one of the friendly voices you'll reach when you call, chat, or email Mint. Knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to help - exactly what you need when you have a question that can't wait.

Eric Tyler

Client Services Advisor

Eric brings the same calm, helpful energy to every interaction - whether you're calling with a quick question or need someone to walk you through something step by step.

Carol Watkins

Client Services Advisor

Carol handles inbound calls, chats and emails - and is also Mint's expert in ID verification, making sure your formation process is smooth, compliant, and stress free from the start.

Ann Henderson

Formation Operations

Ann works behind the scenes processing company formation applications, handling customer documents, and ensuring every detail is checked and correct before anything is submitted.

From one founder to another

A personal note from Raj, our Chairman

I spent twelve years as an employee - at Nokia, Wipro, Panasonic and others - before being made redundant with no job to fall back on.

My wife Shumi stood by me while we lived off our savings for twelve months with no regular income. No safety net. No guarantee it would work. Just the conviction that if I gave it everything for twelve months, something would take shape.

It did. And I haven't looked back since.

I'm sharing this not to impress you, but because I know exactly what it feels like to stand at the beginning of something - excited, uncertain, and wondering whether you have what it takes. That feeling is universal. And it's exactly why Mint exists.

I've written about every step of that journey - the fears, the false starts, the moments of doubt, and the strategies that actually worked - in my book How to Overcome Fears and Start Your Own Business.

If you're thinking about making the leap, or you're already mid-jump and wondering what comes next - this was written for you.

What makes us different

Personal touch : Simple & transparent : Outstanding support

Personal touch

We've built businesses ourselves - so we know what you're going through. You'll speak to real people with real names who know your company and your story. Not a chatbot. Not a ticket number. Us.

Simple & transparent

No hidden fees. No jargon. No surprises. We walk you through every decision before anything is submitted - so nothing gets missed and nothing comes back to bite you later.

Outstanding support

Our support doesn't have an expiry date. Confirmation statements, VAT questions, HMRC letters - we're still here for all of it. Lifetime support isn't a feature we added. It's how we're built.

Life after formation

The incorporation certificate is just the beginning

Most formation agents measure success by how fast they can get your certificate issued. We measure it differently - by whether you're still confident, compliant, and supported for the entire life of your business.

Because here's what nobody tells first-time founders: the day your company is formed is also the day your compliance obligations begin.

  • Do I need to register for VAT yet?
  • HMRC has sent me a letter I don't understand - what does it mean?
  • Should I register for GDPR data protection?
  • I'm working from home - does that affect my tax?
  • How do I handle mileage claims?
  • How do I protect my intellectual property?
  • I want to add a shareholder — how do I do that properly?
  • My business is growing — do I need an AI answering service?
  • Where do I find the right insurance for my business?
  • My confirmation statement is due — what do I actually need to do?

These aren't unusual questions. They're the questions every founder asks in their first year — and beyond. That's where we come in. Think of us as your first port of call for anything business related. If we can handle it ourselves, we will. If we know someone who can, we'll point you in the right direction. If we have a trusted partner who specialises in it, we'll introduce you.

You're never on your own. From day one, for the life of your business. We'll be here to support you.
