What is a registered office address?

It is the official address of a limited company. You must provide a registered office address to set up a limited company with Companies House. Its purpose is to receive official government mail. It is also where your company's registers should be stored for inspection, unless a SAIL address is in use (you are recommended to use a SAIL address when subscribing to our address services as we are unable to store your statutory registers and documents for you). The address must be a physical postal address - you cannot use a PO Box number. The company's address will be placed on public record and it must be displayed on all company stationery and websites.

Does the registered office service meet the criteria for an 'appropriate address'?

Yes, all UK companies are legally required to have a registered office that qualifies as an ‘appropriate address’ under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023. Our Registered Office Address Service meets these legal conditions, ensuring it qualifies as an ‘appropriate address’ for companies registered in England and Wales.

Can I use this service for my service address?

No. If you are a company director, secretary, or person with significant control, e.g. a shareholder who owns more than 25% of the company's shares, and you wish to use our London address to receive your statutory mail, you will have to purchase our service address product separately.

What about general business mail forwarding?

The registered office service only covers the use of our address for official purposes. If you would like to use our London WC2H address as your business address and have all your business mail and correspondence forwarded to you, please see our business address service which can be bought online along with the registered office service.

What is unsupported mail?

From time to time our Mail Team may have to send out an email to a client on the subject of Unsupported Mail. This is sent when we receive mail that is outside of the client's service offering, e.g. we receive general business mail and the client has only purchased a registered office address service, which covers official government mail only.

Is there a cost to have my registered office mail emailed to me?

No. The forwarding of official government mail by scan and email is free.

Can I use this service for more than one company?

You cannot purchase the registered office address service once and use it for multiple companies. If you wish to use this address for multiple companies, it should be purchased for each company.

Is this service renewable?

Yes, our registered office address service is renewable on a 12-monthly basis at the cost of [[price slug="london-registered-office"]] +VAT.
