UK Registered Office Address Service
When registering a company in the UK, a Registered Office Address is essential.
This is the official address used for receiving legal notices and official correspondence.. For overseas investors, individual entrepreneurs, or business owners who do not wish to disclose their residential address, using a registered address service is a highly useful option.
What are the requirements for
a registered office address?
When setting up a limited company, you must provide a registered office address and an email address. The registered address must:
-
Be a physical address in the UK
-
Be in the same country where your company is registered (e.g., a company registered in Scotland must have a registered office address in Scotland, and the same applies to Northern Ireland)
-
Comply with any relevant regulations
This means that:
-
You or someone acting on behalf of your company will be aware of any mail sent to your company
-
The sender may receive confirmation that their mail has been delivered to this address
-
A P.O. Box cannot be used as your registered office address
If you use a service provider’s address (such as an accountant or solicitor) as your registered office address, it must meet all these requirements.
If you fail to provide a registered office address that complies with these requirements, your company may be struck off the register at Companies House.
Why use a registered office address service?
A registered office address is where your company receives official correspondence from the UK government, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), and Companies House. The main benefits of using a registered office address service include:
Protecting Privacy
If you do not wish to make your home address public, using a commercial registered office address can protect your personal privacy and prevent your residential address from appearing on the Companies House website.
Compliance with UK Legal Requirements
Under the Companies Act 2006, all UK-registered companies must provide a registered office address which must be located within the UK.
Mail Handling and Forwarding
Professional registered office address services often include the receipt, scanning, and forwarding of official government correspondence, ensuring that you do not miss important postal correspondence.
Suitable for Non-UK Residents and Overseas Entrepreneurs
If you are an overseas individual or entrepreneur looking to register a UK company but do not have a local UK address, a registered office address service is the best solution to obtain a valid address.
Enhancing Corporate Image
Using a registered office address in London or another business hub can enhance your company's image and boost trust among clients and investors.
Who can benefit from a registered office address service?
A registered office address service is suitable for the following groups:
UK-based business owners
UK business owners can use a commercial registered office address instead of making their residential address public, ensuring privacy.
Overseas investors or entrepreneurs
If you wish to register a UK company but do not have a UK address, a registered office address service can help you meet legal requirements.
