Registered Office is mandatory and shown on the public register. Eteform provides a London address with mail scanning and forwarding.
What is a Registered Office?
A Registered Office is the official address of your UK Ltd company on the Companies House public register. It is mandatory under the Companies Act 2006 — every UK company must have one in the United Kingdom.
Its purpose: receiving official mail from Companies House and HMRC — CS01 notices, warnings, tax correspondence. It does not need to be your actual place of business. Your company can operate from Dubai, Riyadh, or Cairo while its registered address is in London.
Eteform provides a professional London registered office — included in Privacy and Inclusive packages or as a standalone service.
Why London, not another UK city?
London = credibility. Banks (Barclays, Wise, HSBC) check your registered address — a London address increases approval chances. Amazon Seller Central prefers London. Suppliers and customers trust a London-based company more.
Using a friend's address in Manchester or Birmingham is risky. They receive legal mail (HMRC, Companies House) that requires response. Missed mail = penalties. A professional agent like Eteform ensures compliance and privacy.
What the service includes
- 🏢 London address on Companies House — shown on the public register
- 📬 Official mail receipt — Companies House and HMRC correspondence
- 📱 Instant notification — email alert when post arrives

What happens if your address is wrong?
This is serious. If your company address is invalid or the service lapses:
- ⚠️ Companies House warnings — you won't receive them
- 💰 CS01 late penalties — start at £150, can reach £1,500+
- 🏛️ HMRC tax correspondence — missed Corporation Tax deadlines have severe penalties
- ❌ Strike-off — your company can be removed from the register
A fake address or an unreliable person's address is a risk you should not take. Eteform guarantees a real address, mail receipt, and notification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my registered office subscription expires?
Companies House sends warnings. If not renewed, your company risks strike-off. Eteform reminds you 30 days before expiry.
