Registered Office Address Service
Companies House requires all UK companies to register an official address during the incorporation process. This is known as the registered office address, and it is made available to the public on the official register of companies. Registered office addresses must also be displayed on all company stationery, emails and websites.
You can use your residence as a registered office; however, to protect your privacy and present an impressive corporate image, you can instead purchase our Registered Office Service in Covent Garden, London for just £39.00 +VAT per year.
Please note: If you wish to use this address for more than one company, a registered office service should be purchased for each company.
