Rules for a company’s registered office address

Under the new Companies House requirements, a company’s registered office must be real and suitable for receiving official correspondence. Using formal or “mass” addresses is no longer allowed.

If the address does not comply, Companies House can change it or apply sanctions to the company. This creates the risk of missing important letters from HMRC or other authorities, which could lead to fines or even company closure.
