Registered Office Service
Registered Office Service
Running a limited company in the UK? Every company is required to have an official Registered Office address. This is the legal address displayed on the public Companies House register and the location where all statutory mail such as letters from Companies House and HMRC must be delivered.
At Acorn Business Solutions, we provide a fully compliant, professional and affordable Registered Office service, helping you protect your home address, enhance business credibility and stay on top of official correspondence — all from at little as £29.99 per year (now including the directors service address addon free of charge)
What is a Registered Office
A Registered Office is the official address of your limited company or LLP. Companies House, HMRC and other government bodies use this address for statutory notices, legal documents, reminders and compliance correspondence.
By law, every company must maintain a valid UK Registered Office — and it must be an “appropriate address” a real physical location able to receive statutory mail and provide confirmation of delivery when required (a PO Box is no longer permitted).
Using your home address is allowed, but it means your private details become public. Our service gives you a choice of professional addresses in Manchester, with privacy, security, and full legal compliance built in.

Registered Office Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a registered office?
The Companies Act requires all companies to have a registered office where official documents can be delivered, and your company’s statutory documents can be inspected.
You can read more information on what a registered office is and what legal requirements are fulfilled when you choose the registered office service from Acorn Business Solutions on the Companies House website or Wikipedia
Can I use my home address?
Certainly, you can use your home address as your company’s registered office if you wish and don’t mind this becoming public information.
Before choosing to use your home address you should be aware that your home address will be publicly available online. You should also carefully check your lease, tenancy agreement or mortgage agreement as there are often clauses which prohibit the use of your home for business purposes. It may also be worth letting your insurance company know too.
What is included in the registered office service?
The Registered Office service will allow you to use one of our locations as the registered office of your limited company. We will keep a copy of your statuary documents on file and offer facilities for inspection upon request.
We will accept deliveries of all your official mail from the organisations listed below at your registered office and deliver these to you the same day we receive them as a PDF attachment directly to your email inbox
What will my registered office address be?
When signing up to Acorn Business Solutions you will simply be sharing one of our professional business addresses.

Initial Business Centre
Wilson Business Park
Manchester

How will my mail be forwarded?
As a stand-alone service your mail will generally be scanned over to you the same day, we receive it (no more waiting for the postman to arrive)
If you have another service with us we will follow the instructions on your other service for example if you have a mailbox, we will put your mail in your mailbox and send you an email to let you know. If you have a mail forwarding service, we will forward your mail by post.
If however, you’d prefer your mail to be forwarded onto you instead of scan to email this can be arranged, the only difference is you’d be responsible for the additional mail charges.
Does your service meet Companies House requirements?

Can I use the address as my service address?
The service address also known as the Directors Service Address or Official Correspondence Address, is a separate service which must be added if you wish to use the address for this purpose, however if you add this service at the same time as the Registered Office you will be able to take advantage of the hugely discounted price from just £4.99 for a full 12 months which includes all directors and officers of the same company at no extra charge.
If, however, you require the Directors Service Address as a standalone service without the Registered Office please visit the Directors Service Address page
