A UK limited company needs a registered office address for official correspondence, including letters from Companies House and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The address appears on the public Companies House register and must be a physical address in the same country where your company is registered.
Your registered office must be an appropriate address: post must reach someone acting for your company, and senders must be able to obtain confirmation of delivery. You cannot use a PO Box as your registered office address. Read the Companies House registered office address rules before choosing an address.
A virtual office package may include registered office use alongside services such as mail handling, telephone answering or meeting rooms. Check what your chosen address and package include. Explore our London virtual offices and Mayfair virtual offices to compare available locations.
Include your company registration number, registered office address and other required company details on business letters, order forms and your website. See the official guidance on company stationery and website disclosures for the full requirements.
For UK-established businesses, VAT registration is normally required when taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in the last 12 months, or is expected to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days alone. Businesses based outside the UK may need to register regardless of turnover. Voluntary registration is also available below the threshold.
