What is the purpose of a registered business address? A registered business address is a ‘legal address’ to which all communications and notifications will be sent to a company. It may not be a large company headquarters or a major business centre. It can be, and often is, to the company’s accountants or lawyers, or to one of the addresses of a company director.
When you start a new company, a registered business address is one of the first questions you’ll be required to answer. At the time of registration of the company, you must provide the business address of the company. There are a variety of benefits for using a registered business address, which is used for contact for your company in Government agencies such as Companies House and HMRC.
Using a commercial business address will give your new business a professional image and will show that you are committed to your company. This leads to more trust with your customers and more trust in your business as a whole. It also keeps your personal address private and from being entered on to various ‘start-up databases’. This can vastly reduce the amount of junk mail you receive, as many businesses target new start-up businesses to try and sell their products or services to them.
