What is a registered office?

A registered office address is one of the legal requirements to register a UK limited company or limited liability partnership company in the UK. It should be provided to Companies House, HMRC and any other government bodies and will be used as the official address to deliver all legal notices and statutory documents. Banks or financial institutions may also require your registered office address.

Should my business be carried out in the specified registered office address?

No. There are no such legal requirements, and your registered office address in London might just be your mail correspondence address with Companies House and HMRC. Most non-UK residents use a registered office address provider to get a physical address in the UK so that they can register their business.

Can a non-UK resident use your registered office address for limited company registration?

Yes. Non-UK residents can use our registered office address in London to register a limited company in the UK. In fact, it is included in all our international packages, so you don’t have to buy it separately if you are forming your company through us.

Do you also offer directors’ service addresses?

Yes. You can use our director’s service address (director’s address protection service) to hide your home address on the public domain. It is also included in most of our UK company formation packages.

Do you also offer virtual office address service?

Yes. We also offer a UK virtual office address (mail forwarding), which you can use as a business correspondence address to receive letters from your customers and vendors in the UK. We will receive your business mail at our address and we will forward it via postal service to your preferred address (anywhere in the world) for a small handling fee.

Can I use my home address as a registered office?

You can use your home address as your registered office address, but it is not recommended. Your home address will be on the public register for everyone to see. Your privacy is exposed on the internet, where unscrupulous individuals and marketing agencies could access your home address. Therefore, we recommend using our company registered address service to protect your privacy.

Can I change my registered office address after company formation?

Yes. Your registered office address can be changed any time after the company is formed. However, it must always be in the same country and should be a physical address. All your business stationery, correspondence and websites must clearly display the new registered office address, and you must notify Companies House about this change. If you purchase this service from us, we will notify Companies House on your behalf.

How is your registered office service different from your director’s address service?

A registered office service is for the company, while our director’s address service is for the directors (or secretaries) of the company. These are two different services and must be purchased separately.

All company directors, shareholders with significant control and company secretaries must provide a service address to Companies House. This address will be displayed on the public register. If you, as a director (or secretary), do not wish to use your private address, you can opt for our director’s address service.

Can I receive business mail, letters or parcels at my registered office address?

No. Mint Formations’ registered office service covers only the receipt of statutory mail from authorities including Companies House and HMRC.
