Registered Office Address London —
EC2 City Address From £49/Year

Once your home address appears on the Companies House register, it is immediately scraped by data brokers, credit agencies and marketing databases. Even if you change your registered address months later, the historical data — including your home address — remains in private databases permanently. Use a registered office service from day one.

Since the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 came into full effect, PO Boxes are no longer acceptable as registered office addresses. The address must be a physical location where correspondence can be delivered and where it would be expected to come to the attention of a person acting for the company. Our EC2M address meets this requirement fully.

Companies House updates automatically when form AD01 is filed — but HMRC does not update automatically. Separate notifications are required for Corporation Tax, PAYE and VAT. Missing HMRC notification means tax correspondence continues going to the old address, potentially missing critical deadlines. We notify all HMRC departments simultaneously with the Companies House filing.

A lapsed registered office subscription — where the address provider stops operating or stops accepting mail — creates a compliance risk. If official correspondence is not received and acted upon, strike-off warnings can escalate to actual strike-off without the company ever being aware. We send renewal reminders 30 days in advance and maintain continuous service.

Yes — every UK limited company and LLP must have a registered office address under the Companies Act 2006. It must be a physical address in England and Wales (for English/Welsh companies), Scotland (for Scottish companies) or Northern Ireland. It must be an ‘appropriate address’ — one where correspondence would be expected to reach a person acting on behalf of the company. PO Boxes are not acceptable.

Yes — you can change your registered address at any time by filing form AD01 with Companies House (free of charge online). The change typically takes 24 hours to appear on the public register. We file AD01 on your behalf and simultaneously notify all relevant HMRC departments of the change — ensuring no official correspondence is missed during the transition.

No — your registered office is your legal address for official correspondence only. You can operate your business from anywhere — your home, a client’s office, a coworking space or abroad. Many businesses with Britvex use our EC2M address as their registered office and work from home or anywhere else. The two addresses (registered office and principal place of business) can be different.

Yes — all official correspondence addressed to your company at our EC2M address is scanned and emailed to you the same working day it is received. This includes Companies House filing reminders and strike-off warnings, HMRC correspondence for all taxes (CT, PAYE, VAT), court documents and any other official mail. We maintain a mail log in your client portal showing every item received and forwarded.

Your registered office address is the company’s official address — for all corporate correspondence. A director service address is the address associated with an individual director on the Companies House register — for correspondence addressed to the director personally. Both can be our EC2M address, but they are separate registrations. Our registered office service covers the company address; director service address is available as an add-on for each director.
