Companies House Correspondence Address
Our London service address is available to all company directors, LLP members, shareholders, secretaries and persons with significant control (PSCs) who wish to maintain the privacy of their home by keeping their residential address off the public register.
What is a service address?
A service address is the official correspondence address for an individual company director, LLP member, secretary, or person with significant control (eg. a shareholder who own more than 25% of the company's shares). It is where they will receive their official government mail. A service address is a legal requirement and these address details are displayed on public record.
Any full postal address in the UK or abroad can be used as a service address, with the exception of PO Box Numbers - a residential address is acceptable but most people use an alternate service address to protect their privacy.
Why do I need a service address?
- It is a legal requirement of limited company directors and secretaries, subscribers (the first members who join a company during the incorporation process), LLP members, and people with significant control (PSCs).
