What It Is

Registered Address Service — Protect Your Privacy, Project Professionalism

Your company’s registered address is permanently visible on the Companies House public register — visible to anyone worldwide. Using your personal home address exposes it to the public register indefinitely, invites significant volumes of official and unsolicited correspondence, and projects a less professional image than a City of London address. Our registered address service gives you a prestigious EC2 address while keeping your home address completely private.

A company’s registered address is the official legal address — where Companies House, HMRC and other official bodies send legal correspondence. It must be in England and Wales (for an English company) and must be a physical address where correspondence can be physically delivered. A PO Box or mail handling facility alone is not sufficient as a registered address under Companies House rules.

Our address — Suite 4, 20 London Wall, London, EC2M 5TE — is a genuine physical City of London address that fully satisfies Companies House and HMRC requirements. We receive all official correspondence, scan and email it to you the same working day, and maintain a physical mail record for HMRC inspection if required.

The Director Service Address is different from the company registered address — it is the address at which Companies House correspondence for an individual director is delivered. Directors are entitled to protect their home address from the public register (under the Directors’ Residential Address Provisions) by using a service address instead. We provide director service addresses at the same London EC2 location for all directors of client companies.

Common Mistakes

4 Costly Mistakes — And How We Prevent Them

❌ Using a home address as the registered address

Your home address on the Companies House register is permanently public and cannot be retroactively hidden once it has been filed. Using our registered address service from incorporation — or switching immediately — prevents personal address exposure permanently.

❌ Using a PO Box or mail redirection address

Companies House does not accept PO Boxes or mail redirection services as registered addresses — the address must be a genuine physical location where correspondence can be physically delivered. Our EC2 address is a genuine staffed office location that fully satisfies this requirement.

❌ Not updating HMRC when changing registered address

When a registered address changes, Companies House is updated via form AD01. However, HMRC also needs to be separately notified — for Corporation Tax, PAYE and VAT. Failing to notify HMRC means official tax correspondence continues to go to the old address. We notify all relevant HMRC departments automatically when a registered address changes.

❌ Confusing registered address and trading address

The registered address is the legal address for official correspondence — it does not need to be where you actually operate your business. Many companies have their registered address at our EC2 location and their actual office (or home) as their trading address. Both can be different and both can be disclosed on letterheads (registered address is legally required on correspondence).

Frequently Asked Questions

Registered Address Service — Your Questions Answered

What is a registered address and why does it matter?

A company’s registered address is its official legal address — where Companies House, HMRC and other official bodies send correspondence. It must be a genuine physical address in the same part of the UK as the company is registered (England and Wales for English companies). It appears permanently on the public Companies House register — visible to anyone worldwide.

Can I use our registered address for my business activities?

Our registered address is provided for Companies House and HMRC correspondence purposes — to satisfy the legal registered address requirement. It is not a full serviced office or coworking space. Your actual business operations, client meetings and staff can be based at your own premises. Many businesses operate from home or client sites with our EC2 address satisfying the legal registration requirement.

What is a Director Service Address?

A director service address is the address at which Companies House correspondence addressed to a specific director is sent. It can be different from the company’s registered address. Directors are entitled to protect their home address from the public register by using a service address — our EC2 address satisfies this requirement. The director’s home address is still registered with Companies House but is protected from public disclosure.

How quickly can I start using the registered address?

You can use our EC2 address immediately on subscribing — we provide written confirmation of the address the same day. If you need to change an existing company’s registered address, we file form AD01 with Companies House; the change typically appears on the register within 24 hours of filing.

What happens to mail received at the registered address?

All mail received at our EC2 address is scanned and emailed to you the same working day it is received. We distinguish between official correspondence (HMRC, Companies House, court notices) and unsolicited/marketing mail. Official correspondence is always forwarded promptly. HMRC correspondence can be handled directly by us as your authorised agent where applicable. Physical forwarding is available on request for an additional fee.
