Business Address Service
A professional business address provides a legal physical location for a limited company to receive official mail from UK government bodies. Form My Company offers established commercial addresses to ensure compliance with Companies House and protect the home privacy of directors.
What is a Business Address?
A business address is a physical street location in the UK where a legal entity conducts its official correspondence. Every private limited company must maintain a registered office address in the jurisdiction of incorporation, such as England and Wales. This address appears on the public register of companies. Using a commercial address instead of a residential one prevents your home details from being accessible to the public. It serves as the primary point of contact for UK Companies House and HMRC.
What are the Requirements for a UK Business Address?
The UK government mandates 4 specific requirements for a registered business address:
Physical Location: The address must be a physical street address, not a PO Box.
Jurisdiction: A company registered in England must have an address in England.
Mail Availability: A person must be available to accept delivery of official documents.
Public Accessibility: The address must be displayed on business stationery and websites.
How Does the Business Address Process Work?
The setup process involves 5 distinct steps to ensure immediate activation:
Selection: Choose your preferred commercial address from our available UK locations.
Verification: Submit 2 forms of identification (Proof of ID and Proof of Address) to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations.
Payment: Complete the annual subscription through our secure payment gateway.
Registration: Update your details at Companies House using the provided address.
Mail Handling: We receive your official correspondence and forward it to your private location within 24 hours.
How is the Quality of Mail Handling Guaranteed?
We guarantee 100% security for all documents received at our commercial centers. Every piece of mail is sorted by trained professionals. We offer 2 methods of delivery:
Digital Scanning: Your mail is scanned at 300 DPI and sent to your registered email address as a PDF.
Physical Forwarding: We post your original documents via Royal Mail First Class on the same day they arrive.

Legal Entities and Compliance Standards
A Limited Company is a distinct legal person from its owners. This status provides limited liability protection to a Director and Shareholder. To maintain this protection, the entity must fulfill its Filing obligations. This includes submitting annual accounts and maintaining a valid Registered Office Address. Failure to provide a compliant address results in the company being struck off the register.
What Can Our Business Addresses Be Used For?

Use on websites, brochures, business cards, and social media to promote your company professionally.
Use this for official registration with Companies House if you are an incorporated UK company.
A smart way to protect your home address while still meeting legal director disclosure obligations.
