How the partner journey works
Sterling Formations is an official Tide partner. The reimbursement and reward are only available when applicants start the Tide company formation and business-account journey through our route. Applicants pay a £14.99 formation fee upfront and get that fee back when they open a Tide business account through our route. An eligible applicant may also receive a £25 reward under Tide’s current terms.
Check the current Companies House fee and the partner terms before applying. Application length, account approval, and Companies House processing times vary.
Your application is filed electronically with Companies House, the UK government's official company registrar. Everything is legitimate, official, and exactly the same the same legal incorporation process as any other electronic formation route, while provider fees, optional services, and any partner offer remain separate considerations.

- Preparation guidance for the Companies House application
- Certificate of Incorporation (PDF)
