Frequently Asked Questions
This is the official address of your business to which all statutory correspondence relating to the company or LLP is sent. Ordinarily, this needs to be the address at which certain official documents and registers are kept for inspection. Small businesses sometimes use a residential address as registered office, but those using a residential address should consider whether any clauses in a rental or mortgage agreement prohibit the property being used for business purposes.
While some businesses with the most straightforward affairs may choose to take care of their own company secretarial matters, many appreciate the reassurance that the company’s administrative affairs are being dealt with by experts and that all the relevant forms are being filed on time. To avoid potential pitfalls and penalties, we would always recommend that expert advice is taken in company secretarial matters.
