There are many benefits to not using a residential address as a Registered Office.

There are many benefits of using a Registered Office Address Service:

1. Privacy

Registered office addresses are recorded at Companies House and published on the official companies register. This information is available to the general public, including those pesky cold-callers and direct mail marketers.

2. Professional image

Thinking about the professional image you want to present, a commercial registered office is far more likely to impress potential clients and investors than a residential one.

3. Trustworthiness

Regardless of your residential postcode, a non-residential registered office will legitimise your company and boost your professional credibility to a far greater extent.

4. Mail handling

Using a residential address as your registered office would lead to an increase in mail being delivered to your home. Whilst official government mail wouldn’t be an issue, you could end up receiving a significant amount of junk mail.

5. Flexibility

The mail that is delivered to your registered office is very important. If you travel or move around a lot, you run the risk of missing this mail. Setting up a registered office service with digital mail forwarding offers greater flexibility in these circumstances.
