Registered Office Service

Every company must have a Registered Office/Agent at which official documents can be served and this address should be displayed on all business letterheads and order forms of the company.

The Registered Office address does not need to be the companys place of business, and is often the address of a company that provides company formation services such as Formacompany & Co – or that of a solicitor, accountant or even one of the directors’ home address.

Official documents, such as documents from a court, are normally served on a company at its Registered Office, and official correspondence is usually sent to the Registered Office, for example official letters from the Inland Revenue and the Registrar of Companies.

The provider of your registered office address is very important as they receive these documents and should be capable of advising and or dealing with such official correspondence.

We will make the following address available to be used as the Registered Office of your new company:

For companies in the Register for England and Wales:

Please note that this address should not be used for any trading purposes or general correspondence, or for any form of advertising. The address is only to be used to comply with the requirements of the Companies Act in relation to official mail and documents.

We will forward on all official mail by first class post or airmail on receipt.
