Why do companies use this service?

1. Enhanced Reputation

Start-up companies often operate from the residential address of a director or shareholder. If a residential address is used as the registered office of the company it will appear on the public record at Companies House and must also be disclosed to customers, suppliers etc. Using our UK Registered Office Service provides your company with an official business address, enhancing its reputation.

2. Preserving Privacy

A company’s registered office address appears on the public record at Companies House. Using our service allows the company to keep residential addresses private. We note that since October 2009 directors, shareholders and other officers of the company may provide a ‘service address’ in place of their residential address, so that residential addresses no longer have to appear on the register available for public inspection. Our UK Registered Office Service includes the use of our office as your directors’ service address.

3. Legal Requirement

UK companies are required by law to have a registered office in the country in which they are incorporated (or in the case of a company registered in England and Wales, in one of those countries). Companies without a presence in the UK are obliged to establish a UK office or use a UK Registered Office Service when forming a UK company.
