  • The Inform Direct team have responded quickly and efficiently to support questions.

    We are a husband and wife team running a practice with a range of small to medium sized businesses. We wanted a single platform to manage the company secretarial needs of all our clients. It had to be capable of supporting the larger companies without being overly complicated for the bulk of our smaller clients. We chose Inform Direct because it was very easy to get started and we were not required to enter into any long-term contract. We have brought our clients onto the platform as and when required. Features such as the dividend wizard that have been added since we first started using Inform Direct have been great additions. The Inform Direct team have responded quickly and efficiently to support questions. In short I can recommend anyone with a small practice to try Inform Direct - it is much easier than going direct to Companies House and allows a much more comprehensive service to be offered to clients of all sizes for a very reasonable monthly fee. The time savings we have made make the costs seem negligible.

  • Inform Direct is a lovely piece of easy to use, functional software

    Inform Direct is a lovely piece of easy to use, functional software. We are already loading up our clients and to me it is a no-brainer for the amount of time we are going to save compared to the cost.

  • The software works well and the support team has been most helpful

    I have been using Inform Direct for about a year now to incorporate many tens of companies. The software works well and Eunice in the support team has been most helpful ironing out any issues as they occur. I soon realised it was more cost effective to subscribe and I now manage several hundred of my clients’ Company Secretarial requirements through the system, as well as continuing to use their incorporation feature. Recommended.

  • The webinar and onboarding process was both helpful and painless

    We have moved from a desktop based system over to Inform Direct to manage our Company Secretarial work. The webinar and onboarding process was both helpful and painless. We like that the fact that we can now manage all our clients’ statutory books in the cloud and we have saved some money too!

  • I really like the platform

    I really like the platform, I’ve been thinking for a while now that the way we do our co sec work is inefficient & time consuming so to get the call from Tom and see the software working has definitely proved to be worthwhile.

  • Inform Direct has made filing returns much easier and quicker

    Before I started using Inform Direct I would file returns direct with Companies House.  While this worked reasonably well Inform Direct has made it much easier and quicker.  The diary system is a real help and clients are able to approve the details of each return before I submit them.  Of all the features I use the dividend wizard the most.  It is great.  It produces vouchers and minutes and keeps a record of all past payments. Inform Direct saves me a load of time and whenever I have contacted the Inform Direct team with a query about how to do something they are really friendly and helpful.

  • We are now able to provide our clients a more timely and more comprehensive service

    We first started using Inform Direct in 2013.  The application is really intuitive meaning that each member of staff can use the system even if they do not have much experience of Company Secretarial matters.  This has dramatically freed up time across the business.  In short, Inform Direct has been a great benefit to our firm and we now able to provide our clients a more timely and more comprehensive service than we did before we started using it.  Please keep those incremental improvements coming.  The ability to sort the Portfolio screen has been a great help.

  • Inform Direct has enabled us to offer our clients a very pro-active and comprehensive company secretarial service.

    Not Just Numbers is a practice which embraces cloud technology.  We use Xero and a number of their add-ons and wanted a company secretarial package to also be cloud based too so all staff in the firm could access it whether in the office or in the field.  We chose Inform Direct and have been using it for a while.  It was very easy to get started and whenever we have had a query about how to do something the support team has been great.  Inform Direct has enabled us to offer our clients a very pro-active and comprehensive company secretarial service.  The pricing is very fair and we appreciate not being tied in to a long term contract.

  • Extremely good value and pays for itself many times over in efficiency savings and client satisfaction

    We have been using Inform Direct for several months now. We trialled it initially with a handful of companies and quickly decided to use it for all our several hundred clients.

    The main benefit is that it is cloud-based, with a very simple interface that enables us to access and update Companies House records at any time (for example, in a meeting with a client), saving time and improving our service. 

    One of my favourite features is the ability to view our entire portfolio on a single screen and sort by due date for the accounts or annual return, as well as by name. From there we can drill down into the details for any company.

    The support team is knowledgeable and responds quickly to any questions, while the subscription is extremely good value and pays for itself many times over in efficiency savings and client satisfaction

  • Wonderfully simple to use

    Inform Direct combines intelligent design with simplicity of use. There’s nothing to download and no updates to install so it's quick to get started. Being online allows me to access it any time, anywhere which is ideal when visiting clients at their premises.

    Inform Direct has a very neat way of showing me all the companies I am responsible for and I can see at a glance if anything requires attention. For the most common actions such as submitting an Annual Return they have designed some really handy shortcuts making it wonderfully simple to use.

    Inform Direct will regularly compare the data it holds for all the companies that I manage against the Companies House records for each company. If it finds any discrepancy I am alerted – so there’s no chance of any unauthorised changes going unnoticed.
