What is a Registered Office?
A registered office is the official address of a limited company or limited liability partnership (LLP). It is a legal requirement to have a registered address for your business and the address must be within the UK.
The registered office address is important as it's where any legal or official letters are sent to by the Government and clients.
Although the address has to be in the UK, it doesn't have to be in the same region as your principal trading activity, but it must be a complete, physical address in the same UK jurisdiction in which your company is registered. If you do not have a registered office address, you cannot open a UK company.
Benefits of a Registered Office
There are three key benefits to using a registered office address service. These are; Reputation, Professionalism and Security.
Reputation
Having your registered office as a prestigious London address can help to increase your company's reputation in the eyes of potential clients. Whilst they don't have to visit this address, just having it visible on your website could see you grow your customer base and bring in new investors.
Professionalism
For a lot of smaller companies, the alternative to a service like ours is setting their home address as their registered office address. This can make the business seem unprofessional and smaller than they may want to appear. A registered office service helps to fix this by giving them a real business address.
Security
Another issue that comes with setting your home address as your registered office is security concerns. This means that your home address is visible to anyone who knows your business name and could be targeted for crime. A registered office address helps ease these security concerns by hiding your personal address from view.

Does a Registered Office have to be in the UK?
Your registered office must be in the same jurisdiction as your principal trading activity. This means that only Scottish companies can use our Glasgow registered office services and only English companies can use our London / Doncaster registered office services.
We offer a range of addresses in multiple locations so that we can help businesses up and down the UK protect their personal information and reduce the amount of time they spend sifting through post.
What is the difference between your Official and All Post services?
The difference between our two services is relatively simple and which is best for your business depends on what you need out of our service.
For the All Post service, we will send all letters to you (other than spam) that are received at the registered office. This includes all official bodies, as well as letters from senders such as banks, clients and suppliers.
The Official Post service only includes us forwarding letters from HMRC, Companies House, ICO, ONS and other Government bodies.
