Why Every UK Company Needs a Registered Office Address

If you're setting up a limited company in England and Wales, one of the first legal requirements you'll come across is having a registered office address. This is the official address held on record at Companies House — the place where all statutory correspondence, legal notices, and government documents are delivered.

A common choice for new business owners is to simply use their home address. It's quick, it's free, and it's perfectly legal. But there's a catch many people don't realise until it's too late: your registered office address is public. That means anyone — clients, competitors, or complete strangers — can look up your company and see exactly where you live.

That's where a professional registered office service makes all the difference. With Companies999, your company gets a respected Birmingham business address in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter — one of the city's most recognised commercial locations. Your home address stays private, and your business puts its best foot forward from day one.

We don't just hold your mail either. Every piece of government correspondence is scanned and emailed to you the same day it arrives, so you never miss a deadline or an important notice.

Our Registered Office Service starts from just £40 + VAT per year and includes mail scanning, Companies House compliance, and a professional Birmingham address you can be proud of. If you also want to keep your personal home address off the public register, our Director Service Address covers that separately — also from £40 + VAT per year.
