Building a credible company image is part of that "brand building" process. And choosing the right location may help build that brand - something to keep in mind when starting a new firm. You'll be asked to provide your registered office address Facility throughout the business registration process; we'll explain what that means and why it's so crucial.
What Does a Registered Office Address Mean?
A registered office address is required by law for all UK firms and partnerships.
A registered office address is where your company receives statutory mail and legal paperwork from Companies House, HMRC, and other government agencies, as well as keeps its statutory registers for inspection. Your registered office does not have to be in the same region as your main business, but it must be a legitimate postal address in the same UK jurisdiction.
Your registered office address might be both residential and non-residential. Keeping personal information private is advised, hence many individuals opt for the latter.
If you use a third party to assist you start your company, choose one that includes a registered office address.
Why Do Limited Companies Need a Registered Office?
A registered office is required by UK Company Law to create or manage a private limited company or limited liability partnership. Your registered office address will be made public to encourage business transparency. You can change your registered office address at any time (as long as it remains within the same part of the UK jurisdiction).
Address of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
An LLP, like a limited company, must have a registered office in the same UK region.
Is it legal to have my registered office at home?
It is allowed but not obligatory to use your home address as your registered office. A second registered office address seems more official and helps conceal your home address
Here are a few benefits of a non-residential registered office address:
Using a residential address discloses corporate information and may result in unwanted visits and correspondence.
A attractive registered office address may increase your client and investor base.
A professional non-residential registered office location enhances your firm's image.
A non-residential address separates work and home.
It helps new and existing enterprises reach new markets, especially those based in small towns or rural locations.
A Registered Office Address is different from a Director's Service Address.
A registered office address is your limited company's formal address. The registered office address gets all UK government letters and legal documents/notices. Your company's formation address must be your registered office.
A director's service address is where a company director, LLP member, company secretary, subscriber, or PSC can receive personal statutory mail from HMRC and Companies House. Anywhere on the earth has a service address.
UK law requires both a registered office and a director's service location. Both will be published on the public registry. If you like, you may use the same postal address for both.
