Address FAQs

Our address services can be placed into two groups:-

Official company address services:-

1. UK registered office address
2. Directors and PSC service address

Business address and mail forwarding:-

1. Home worker virtual address service
2. Limited company mail forwarding

No, all services are for letters only.

All mail is identified by the company name, and so this should become the first line of your address.

Registered Address
Limited companies and LLP’s are legally required to display their registered address on their business websites and stationary as well as publicly at Companies House. If you have purchased our registered address from us you should include our address but not promote the address as your main contact address. Our registered office address service should not be used as the company trading address. If your website visitors regularly send mail to the registered address then you will need to consider upgrading to include our mail forwarding service as we will reject non-government mail if you have only purchased a registered address service from us.
Mail forwarding address / home worker address
As this service covers general business letters it can be used on your website The address should include as part of it, your company name or people may write to you at the virtual address with no company name. This makes it difficult for us to identify who the mail belongs to. You cannot use our address for goods or parcels to be forwarded though, it is only for letter type post. Please do not use the address as a returns address for items you sell as we will reject all packages we believe contain goods.
