Did you know, 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, at all times, have an ‘appropriate address’ as their registered office address where documents can be delivered and acknowledged.
At Virtual HQ, as a part of our virtual address service, we can also change your registered address for you for a fee of £19.95.
It’s a legal requirement for all UK limited companies to have a registered business address, and having a virtual address service available to you is the perfect solution. Having your personal address attached to your business might not be the ideal choice for you.
As a director of a limited company, it’s a legal requirement to have an official registered office address which is published on Companies House. Rather than using your home location, 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.)
