All UK accepted company registration businesses are legally required to have a registered UK address. It is the address of a company to which Companies House letters and reminders will be sent. The registered company address can be anywhere in England and Wales (or Scotland if your company is registered there). The company registered address must always be an effective address for delivering documents to the company, and to avoid delays it is important that all correspondence sent to this address is dealt with promptly. If a company changes its registered UK office address after incorporation, the new address must be notified to Companies House on a form 287. It is a legal requirement for any new company formation established within the UK to be registered at a UK address. Foerster Business Solutions can provide your business with a registered office service. This means we can provide you with a registered office in which all your official mail will be sent to. No trading can take place at this address and only official mail such as letters from the Inland Revenue or Companies House will be processed here. If you do decide to make use of our registered office service it is important to remember mail delivered to this address should be processed as quickly as possible to avoid complications. If required, we can provide a registered UK address for your company. This service is particularly useful for a small limited company formation, such as those being run by a sole director from home, where a separate address for service of routine paperwork from authorities such as Companies House and the Inland Revenue may be required for various reasons. We would emphasise that the facility is intended solely as an address for service of routine mail only and must not be used as a trading address or for collection and forwarding of general mail. Your stationery must not indicate this to be so. The registered address must be included on your business stationery but we ask that you do not display our telephone number. If necessary, we can also provide a more extensive general mail forwarding service. A company may have a legal office address at some place other than its trading address where, for instance, the trading address is a factory which is not suited for the receipt of official documents or communications addressed to the company. There is no real correlation between a company's registered office and the office from which the company actually trades. Thus, a company with a legal office in London can trade anywhere it wishes, whether that be in England, Wales, Scotland or any other place. However, in practice a company will generally have its incorporated office at either its trading address (where that trading address is in England and Wales in the case of companies incorporated in England and Wales or Scotland in the case of companies incorporated in Scotland) or at some other place in the jurisdiction of incorporation which can efficiently deal with the receipt of communications or notices addressed to the company (for example, at the company's solicitor's or accountant's address). The General Mail forwarding service for our registered offices is charged as follows :- Manchester £55 per year + postage and 25% handling fee + VAT Lancashire £55 per year + postage and 25% handling fee + VAT London Westminster £49 per month + postage + VAT |
