+44 20 3432 0834About the address
Is this a real address, or a PO Box?
359 City Road is a real, staffed building, not a mailbox or PO Box. Post is physically received on site, not redirected from an empty unit.
Can I use this as my registered office address with Companies House?
Yes. It is fully accepted for company registration, HMRC correspondence and VAT registration.
Can I use it as my trading address too?
Yes. You can use it on your website, invoices and marketing materials as your business address.
Can I use it for DVLA purposes, such as vehicle registration or a driving licence?
No. DVLA requires an address where you are personally present, so no virtual address can be used for vehicle registration, driving licence applications or other DVLA correspondence. Any DVLA mail sent here will be returned to sender.
Verification and compliance
Why do you need my ID?
As a registered office provider, we are required under UK Money Laundering Regulations to verify the identity of anyone using our address for company registration. It is what keeps the address credible with banks, Companies House and HMRC.
What documents do I need to provide?
One government issued photo ID (passport, driving licence or national ID card), and one proof of residential address dated within the last three months.
How long does verification take?
Typically within 24 hours once your documents are submitted.
Mail handling
What happens to my post once it arrives?
Every item is logged, securely stored and made available to you: scanned, forwarded or held for collection, depending on your preference.
How quickly is mail scanned or forwarded?
Typically within one business day of arrival.
Do I need to update Companies House myself once I sign up?
Once your address is active, UK company law requires your registered office to be formally updated with Companies House (an AD01 form) and HMRC notified separately. We will talk you through this as part of setup.
Billing
What is included in the price?
Your London registered office address, a dedicated point of contact for official correspondence, and full mail handling: scanning, forwarding and secure storage, with no separate add on fees.
Is there a contract, or can I cancel any time?
No long term contract and no notice period. Your plan renews monthly or annually and you can cancel at any time from your dashboard. Automatic renewal stops straight away and your address stays active until the end of the period you have paid for.
What happens to my registered office address if I cancel?
When your service ends, you are no longer authorised to use our address. You must change your company's registered office address at Companies House, and update any other records where you use our address, within 30 days of your service ending. If the change has not been made within 30 days, we may notify Companies House that our address is being used without authorisation and request that your company's registered office be changed to the Companies House default address. Whether to make this change is a decision for Companies House.
What is your refund policy?
Fees paid are non refundable, because your unique office number is assigned to you as soon as you pay and cannot be reassigned for some time. You can cancel at any time to stop future renewals.
