A registered office is the legal/official address for which your business resides. A registered office is a location which government agencies such as the Registrar of Companies and Inland Revenue and even courts send all correspondence, official documents as well as notices and reminders to the company directors. When these documents are sent to the registered office of a company it is processed as been sent, and this can often be a misconception because a registered office is not always the basis of a companies operations. A business registered address does have its limitations and the government do seem to ignore the fact that a companies address may differ from their registered address, this can lead to problems when it comes to legal documents especially.
A registered office is only required in order to receive official government correspondence as well as acting as a place in which the public, stakeholders, creditors and even potential business partners can come and inspect documents and registers that are related to the company, this also entitles them to deliver documents in person also. There are restrictions however; you are not allowed to have more than one registered office for one company. However, you are in fact allowed to run your daily trading activities as well as even manage the company from any other location in the UK and around the world. The bottom line is that you do not have to set your main base of operations at the registered office of your company, you can operate externally and far outside the location, but it is essential that you do have a registered office either way. A UK registered address is a requirement if you have a company or are starting up one.
When it comes down to things it is obvious that the registered office has to be a physical address, it should be a place in which somebody is present at all times in order to not only receive the mail but also be the custodian of some of your company documents that contain rights which allow any citizen to inspect them. When it comes to providing a fixed address for registered office it can be quite a big problem for striving entrepreneurs wish to start off fairly small. Many people will not want their current home address to be on record and available at the company’s house. Depending on the terms of their lease it is typical that others will not be allowed to use their current address for any business purposes without a good reason. Many entrepreneurs when starting up may face housing problems; it is typical that a starting entrepreneur will find it difficult to find a place of permanent residence due to funding. As stated by the law it is important that non-residents in the UK who wish to start up a company provide a local UK address for their registered office.
