What is a Registered Office Address?

When you start a new business you need to decide the legal status for your business. The legal structure of your business will decide how the business and you as the business owner are taxed.  It will also determine the amount of liability you will have should the business not succeed.   The normal legal structures of businesses in the UK are

• Limited Company
• Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
• Sole trader
• Partnership

You need to provide a Registered Office Address for a Limited Company or a Limited Liability Parnership.  If you set up your new business in Northern Ireland, Lets Letterbox can provide you with a Registered Office address in Belfast.  Even if you trade as a Partnership or a Sole-Trader, we have business addresses that will suit all business types.

Companies House & HMRC

Companies House is a Department within the UK Government.

It is responsible for the registration of all companies within the UK.  In addition, all registered companies must submit financial statements and annual returns.  Any information submitted to Companies House is available for inspection by the public.  The public can check the information in person or online.  Importantly, if your company is based in England or Wales it must be registered with Companies House in Cardiff. Similarly, if your business is based in Scotland it must be registered with Companies House Edinburgh.  And again, companies based in Northern Ireland must register with Companies House, Belfast.

HMRC is an abbreviation of Her Majesties Revenue & Customs.  Like Companies House, HMRC is a Department within the UK Government.  Alongside various other roles, HMRC is responsible for the collection of taxes.  Consequently it is important to provide both Companies House and HMRC with a physical registered office address for your company.  Therefore a PO Box or Post Office Box is not suitable.  The registered office address that you provide must always have a physical presence. The registered office address is the official address of the company and all mail from both departments will be sent to that contact address.  The location of the registered office must also be available to the public.  The public have the right to inspect all statutory registers belonging to a company at the company’s registered office address.
