UK Company formation
8.30 am – 5.30 pm Monday to Friday
All UK companies are required by law to have an official registered office address which is available on public record. If you purchase this service from us it will cover the use of our address for official government mail only (from Companies House, HMRC, Government Gateway etc.).
A Service Address must be provided by the company's directors, secretaries, shareholders, PSCs (Persons with Significant Control) and LLP members. It is an official address for individuals which is available on public record. The purchase of this service from us will cover the use of our address for official government mail only (from Companies House, HMRC, Government Gateway etc.).
Please note that those individuals must also provide Companies House with their actual residential addresses which will not be shown on public record unless they are used as service addresses.
This service is not mandatory but it may be needed if you wish to use our address for receiving non-governmental general business post (from banks, suppliers, customers etc.). If you purchase this service from us we will forward all of your general business post to an address of your choice; otherwise such correspondence will be returned to the sender.
A Service Address must be provided by directors, shareholders, secretaries, PSCs (Persons with Significant Control) and LLP members. It will be used for these company officers and members to receive statutory mail and legal documents from official UK government agencies, including Companies House and HMRC.
Unlike a registered office address it does not need to be located in the UK, although it will be shown on the public register at Companies House.
A Service Address can be a residential or commercial address, but cannot be a PO Box number. For this purpose you may either use your own address or purchase our Service Address option.
When used specifically by a company director, such a service address is often known also as a director's service address.
It is a legal requirement for all UK companies to have a Service Address on record for each company officer and member.
Service Addresses must be used for as long as the company officer or member remains in their role. You must still have a Service Address if you move or change your registered office address.

What to do next:
As a company formation agent we must follow “Know Your Customer” (KYC) requirements and obtain our customers’ proof of identity and address.
If you are a UK resident then we will perform a digital check of your ID and address using the information that you have provided in your company order form. In 90% of cases our customers successfully pass our digital ID checks.
If you are not eligible for our digital ID check, or for some reason you do not at first pass our digital ID check, then we will e-mail you a special request that you provide the necessary information and documents. For more information, see our ID requirements.
