Registered Office

Definition

The official legal address of a limited company, registered at Companies House and publicly visible. It does not have to be where the business actually operates.

Why it matters

All official correspondence from HMRC and Companies House is sent to the registered office. Using your home address makes it publicly visible on the Companies House register.

Example

A founder uses a registered office address service (£50/year) so her home address does not appear publicly on the Companies House register.
