Registered business address service and so much more

At Virtual Headquarters, we offer a comprehensive virtual business address service. You can use your virtual company address for everything from registering your business with Companies House to using it as your directors’ address. Our registered office address add-on ensures your privacy as you never have to use your home address for business again, giving you that all-important work-life balance – Virtual HQ has you covered!

Registered office address

Did you know that, as a limited company, you can list your virtual office as your registered address on Companies House? This can make receiving important documents from HMRC and Companies House a whole lot easier, especially with our mail collection and forwarding services.

A company must always have an ‘appropriate address’ as their registered office address where documents can be delivered and acknowledged.

All UK limited companies must have a registered address, and a virtual address is the perfect solution if you want to protect your personal address from your business.

Directors service address

As a limited company director, it’s a legal requirement to have an official registered office address published in Companies House. Rather than using your home address, you can opt to set this as your virtual office address instead. With our registered address service all of your correspondence will then be sent to and collected by your chosen location to either be scanned and forwarded to you or collected by you when you’re ready.

As a part of our registered office address service, we can do the legwork and update your directors details for you. (Please refer to point 5.11 in our terms for more details.)

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a registered address?

You do, indeed. All companies and partnerships incorporated in the UK are required to have a registered address. Charities will need a contact address that is displayed to the public. Our blog here explains all the UK regulations on registered address requirements.

If your company or charity is not yet registered, you can find out how to do that here.

How do I change the registered address at Companies House?

This is a relatively straightforward process, which we provide as a service.

If you don’t fancy passing the gauntlet to us, you can either do this online, via Companies House Webfiling, or by completing a paper return.

Can I have a registered address ONLY service?

No sorry, it is a legal requirement in the UK for all service providers to sell a virtual office trading address WITH a registered address service.

How much does a registered business address cost?

Your registered address is purchased in conjunction with your virtual address, and typically costs £7.99 per month.

What happens to my mail if I choose not to have a registered address?

Not a problem, a lot of businesses have a different trading address to their registered address, for example they use their accountants address on Companies House but a city centre Virtual Office for their website.

What if my company is not yet formed and I want to use the virtual office as my registered address?

Don’t worry if you haven’t yet formed the company, as you can still order a virtual office address. Preparation is key.

When you reach this stage in the order process, simply state ‘to be confirmed’ and you can update us on your company formation when you have the details. If you’d prefer, you can call a member of our friendly team who can provide you with more information and help with the next stages in your company journey.

Can I use a virtual address for HMRC?

Yes, you can use a virtual address for HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) as long as the virtual address meets certain requirements.

HMRC accepts virtual addresses as long as they are registered with Companies House, which is the UK government’s official register of companies. The virtual address must also be a physical location where mail can be received and forwarded to you.

It’s important to note that HMRC requires individuals and companies to provide a registered address where they can be contacted for official purposes, such as tax returns and correspondence related to tax matters. This address can be different from the virtual address you use for general correspondence and business purposes.

Before using a virtual address for HMRC, it’s best to check their guidelines and requirements or seek advice from a qualified tax professional.

Can I use the address for Companies House correspondence?

Yes, this is known as your Company Registered Address.

When one of our locations offers a registered address facility, it will be shown on the order page and can be added to your virtual office at that point. Please note, you must have a limited company in order to be able to use the registered address service, which costs an additional £7.99 per month. All official mail from Companies House will then be accepted and handled for you. We’re nice like that.

If your company or charity is not yet registered, you find out how to do that here.
