I realized I had been putting it off for years due to hating paperwork, then realized the whole point of a business is that you can pay people to do stuff you don't like. So for me, the first order of business was to outsource the formation itself :)
Whole point of a business is making a profit my guy! :-)
I get it for things that are a hassle. But the process to register a business in the UK is really straightforward. I haven't used the process for many years now, but the last time I did I was impressed at how they'd made it as simple as possible whilst collecting all the necessary information.
I can't imagine how a formation agent would make the process any simpler or easier for you.
