What Is a Registered Address and Do I Need One?

Thinking of becoming a limited company, or considering the pros and cons of registering your office at your home address? Before rushing into deciding where to register your office, Blue Rocket Accounting has some helpful information to guide you forward into an informed decision.

A registered office address is an official correspondence address that every limited company (and LLP) is legally required to provide. In return for the benefits of limited liability, your business must remain open and transparent to the public. This means that when you register your business on the public register you must be prepared for this information, along with your details as a Director to be shared worldwide for free online.

Should I use my home as the registered business address? Although you can use your home address as the registered office address, a separate registered office address is far more professional and helps to keep your home address private. For this reason, many companies use a different address to receive business correspondence.

Using your home as your registered address is not advised by any professional body and should only be considered if you have no alternative option. Your home address will be made fully public for anyone to find.

It’s therefore essential you consider the security of both yourself and any members of your family within your household. This is especially importance to businesses that are, or are perceived as cash-based.

Where should I register my business? Your company registered office can be anywhere within the same part of the UK that it was incorporated. It doesn’t need to be the actual location where you conduct your business from.

Therefore, even if you run your business from home you can register it elsewhere, happy days! It is imperative that your official government correspondence should not be ignored or lost, that’s why it’s wise to use a professional Registered Office Address provider.

How do I change my registered address on Companies House? Changing your registered office is simple and fast. There’s no charge to change your registered office address, it’s completely free – you just need your email address and your authentication code.
