The Registered Office Address is where all your company post is sent, and is held on the public register for the public to view. 

A Registered Office Address is a legal requirement for all UK Companies. All UK Companies must ensure that they have a Registered Office Address located in the UK.

Postage Deposit (overseas forwarding address only)

The Registered Office Postage Deposit is a minimal amount to cover the postal costs of sending your Registered Office post to your forwarding address.
The postal costs will be deducted from this deposit as they occur. Only the exact postage charge is deducted we do not add on any additional amounts for handling or administration.

You will only be charged once for the Registered Office postage deposit no matter how many times you order our Registered Office service. When the deposit gets low we will contact you to add an additional amount. On Registered Office renewal any balance or amount left will automatically be carried forward to the next year.

On your Registered Office Account you will be able to track any postage payments and your balance.

What happens if I do not renew the Registered Office?

If a registered office is not renewed and an alternative address is not provided to us, or changed at Companies House, then you are authorising us to amend the Registered Office Address. This may include adding an E to the end of the Dept number, or something similar. We will then proceed to inform Companies House who may change the address to their default address and the company will no longer be seen as in good standing.
