Home/Registered office address
Registered office address
The company’s own official address. Every company must have one, and it must sit in the jurisdiction it was registered in.
A registered office is where Companies House and HMRC write to the company. It appears on the public register, on the company’s website and on its letterhead, and it cannot be a PO box on its own. Using ours keeps a home address off the record while giving the company a real address that is attended and that we can prove post was received at.
What this address is, precisely
- Belongs to the company, not to a person
- Published on the public register
- Receives Companies House and HMRC statutory post
- Must be in the jurisdiction of registration
- Must be an appropriate address where post is acknowledged
What you get from us
- Use of our address as the company’s registered office
- Statutory mail from Companies House and HMRC scanned the day it is logged
- Same-day notification when statutory post arrives
- A delivery record you can export
- The change of address filed for you when you join or leave
How the mail is handled
Post is logged the day it arrives, against a reference rather than a company name, so the log itself does not leak who is at the address. Envelopes stay sealed unless you have given written authority to open and scan them. You get the record, and you can export it.
If something arrives that suggests you need a different address — general business post to a registered office, for instance — we tell you rather than quietly absorbing it.
Address integrity
The number of companies at each address is capped, and we monitor the public register for companies that have used the address without arranging it. That happens more than people expect, and it is the reason a cheap address can become a liability.
Identity is verified before an address is activated, not after payment has cleared.
Questions
Can I use my home address instead?
Can the registered office be in a different country to where I work?
What happens to post that is not statutory?
