Director Service Address

The Bolton BL1 Registered Director Service Address provides a professional correspondence address for a company director who does not want their residential address displayed as their public service address. It includes digital mail handling, unlimited eligible official government mail handling, Companies House compliance support, an online admin portal and 24/7 company support.

A director’s service address is the address shown for that director on the public Companies House register. It is separate from the director’s usual residential address, which still has to be provided to Companies House but is generally held on a private register rather than displayed publicly. Using the Bolton BL1 address as the director’s public correspondence address can therefore help keep a home address off the public record, provided that home address has not also been used as the company’s registered office or service address.

This service is designed for founders, directors and business owners who need a clear separation between their personal home address and the address used for company-related correspondence. It can be particularly relevant for home-based businesses, consultants, online sellers, landlords, agency owners and founders who operate remotely but need a dependable address for a director’s statutory correspondence.

What a director service address is

A director service address is a correspondence address registered against an individual company director. It is the address that may appear alongside the director’s details on the Companies House public register and can be used for communications relating to their role in the company.

Every director must provide Companies House with both a service address and a usual residential address when appointed. The service address can be the same as the company’s registered office, but it does not have to be. Choosing a separate address can be a sensible option where the director works from home or does not want personal residential details to appear as their public correspondence address.

The Bolton BL1 Registered Director Service Address is intended for this specific purpose. It gives the director an address in Bolton BL1 for their public service address while allowing their actual residential address to remain distinct. This is not a substitute for giving Companies House the director’s genuine usual residential address where it is required; rather, it provides a separate address for the public-facing correspondence record.

A service address is linked to the individual director, not simply the company. If a company has more than one director and each wishes to use a non-residential public correspondence address, the address requirement should be considered for each relevant individual. Businesses also need to distinguish this service from a registered office service, because a company’s registered office and a director’s service address serve different legal and administrative purposes.

If you are establishing a new company, you may also wish to consider which incorporation option best fits your business. The Private limited (Ltd) Company package is relevant to founders forming a standard UK private limited company, while the director service address can support the privacy arrangements for directors once their company details are prepared.

What is included

The package combines a Bolton BL1 public correspondence address with mail-handling and administrative features intended to make the service practical to manage after purchase.

Director address to keep your residential address private

The package provides a Bolton BL1 director service address for use as the director’s public correspondence address. Where a director uses a separate service address rather than their home address, their home address does not need to be used as the public service address.

This distinction matters because the Companies House register is publicly searchable. Companies House states that a director’s service address is a correspondence address on the public register, while the usual residential address is kept on a private register and is not available for everyone to see. However, a home address can become public if it is used as the service address or registered office. Your personal information on the Companies House register.

Using the Bolton BL1 address does not remove the obligation to provide an accurate usual residential address to Companies House. It simply means that the correspondence address selected for the public register can be different from the director’s home.

Free digital mail handling

The package includes free digital mail handling. This allows qualifying mail received at the director service address to be handled digitally, helping the director monitor relevant correspondence without relying on mail being sent to their residential property.

Digital mail handling is useful for directors who work remotely, travel frequently or manage a company from a location different from their public service address. It also helps keep company administration more organised by separating personal household post from correspondence connected to a directorship.

Directors should still review their mail promptly and take action where a letter requires a response, filing or payment. A service address helps manage where correspondence is received, but it does not remove the director’s responsibility to keep company information accurate or to meet deadlines.

Unlimited eligible official government mail handling

The package includes unlimited handling of eligible official government mail. This feature is intended to support the receipt and management of qualifying official correspondence sent to the Bolton BL1 director service address.

Government and regulatory correspondence can be important because it may relate to company records, identity requirements, filing obligations or other administrative matters connected with a director’s role. Directors should ensure that they can access communications sent to their chosen service address and should not treat a separate address as a reason to delay responding to official notices.

The word “eligible” is important. Mail handling applies to eligible official government mail under the service, so customers should check the package terms and the online portal for the treatment of any item that does not fall within that category. This avoids assumptions about the handling of non-official, commercial or personal post.

Active immediately on purchase

The service becomes active immediately on purchase. This can be useful where a director needs to put a separate public correspondence arrangement in place without delay.

Immediate activation does not change the need to ensure that Companies House records are filed correctly. If the director’s current public service address needs to be updated, the relevant information must still be submitted through the appropriate process. Directors should make sure the Bolton BL1 address is entered accurately wherever it is being used as the director’s service address.

For founders appointing a new director or making a change to an existing officer record, the Director Appointment service and Director Resignation service may be relevant where the underlying company officer details also need attention.

Companies House compliance included

Companies House compliance is included with the package. This supports the proper use of the service address in relation to the director’s Companies House details.

Maintaining accurate information is a continuing responsibility. Companies House expects companies to keep their registered information up to date, including information about directors and other people connected with the company. A director using a service address should ensure that the chosen address is current, usable and appropriate for correspondence.

The service address should also be considered alongside other ongoing company obligations. For example, a company is normally required to keep its annual confirmation statement up to date. The File a Confirmation Statement service may be useful when the company needs help with this separate filing requirement.

Companies House has introduced identity verification requirements for directors and PSCs as part of its reforms. A director service address does not replace identity verification. Where it applies, the individual must complete the relevant verification requirement separately. The Identity Verification Service: Director or PSC is relevant for directors or people with significant control who need assistance with that process.

Online admin portal to manage your services

The package includes an online admin portal to manage services. The portal provides a central place for the customer to access and manage the director service address arrangement.

A portal can be especially useful where a director has several company administration requirements, such as a service address, company documents or later changes to officer details. Keeping the administrative side of the service in one place can help reduce the risk of overlooking information that requires attention.

The portal should be used as part of a wider compliance routine. Directors remain responsible for reviewing information, keeping access details secure and ensuring that any company filings made in connection with address changes or officer updates are accurate.

Free 24/7 company support

The package includes free 24/7 company support. This gives customers access to support around the clock when they need assistance with the service.

Support can be useful before entering the Bolton BL1 address into company records, when reviewing mail-handling arrangements or when considering whether a separate company service is needed. For example, a customer may need to distinguish between a director’s service address and the company’s registered office address before making a filing.

Where the company also requires its own official address arrangements, the Company Services page provides an overview of related services that may be relevant to ongoing company administration.

Pricing breakdown

The information supplied for this package does not include a price. Therefore, no service fee, renewal figure or statutory filing fee should be assumed from this page.

A director service address is a service arrangement rather than a company incorporation package. The price of forming a company, making a director appointment, filing a change, or purchasing another company service should not be added to this package unless it is expressly stated at checkout or in the selected service details.

Before purchase, review the displayed package price and any applicable terms carefully. If you are also arranging a company formation, registered office, director appointment or confirmation statement filing, check each service separately because these requirements may have different charges and are not automatically included in a director service address package.

Staying compliant

A separate service address can support privacy, but it is only one part of responsible company administration. Directors must ensure that company records are correct and that official correspondence can be received and acted upon.

The director’s usual residential address must still be accurate when supplied to Companies House. Although it is generally kept off the public register, using that same home address as a registered office or public service address can make it publicly visible. This is why it is important to make deliberate choices about each address used for the company and its officers.

Companies House information should be kept current throughout the life of the company. If a director changes their public service address, the company should ensure that the appropriate update is made. A service address should never be treated as a passive mailbox; correspondence arriving there may require prompt action.

Directors should also remain aware of company-wide obligations, including confirmation statements, accounts and changes to people with significant control. If a company is dormant, the File Accounts for Dormant Companies service may be relevant where dormant accounts need to be prepared and filed.

For companies seeking greater protection against unauthorised activity, the Fraud Protection service may also be relevant as part of a broader approach to safeguarding company administration.

Who this service is for

The Bolton BL1 Registered Director Service Address is suitable for directors who want a professional public correspondence address rather than using their residential address.

It can be appropriate for:

• Founders forming or running a company from home.

• Directors who do not want their home address used as their public service address.

• Consultants, freelancers and remote business owners.

• E-commerce operators and online service providers.

• Directors who travel often and prefer official correspondence to be handled through a designated address.

• Company owners who want a clear division between personal household post and director-related correspondence.

• Directors joining an existing company who need to update their public service address.

It may be less suitable for someone who only needs a company registered office address rather than an address specifically attached to an individual director. In that situation, the customer should first identify whether the company needs an official registered office service, a director service address, or both.
