Can I use your 20 Wenlock Road address for my company?

Starting a business is challenging enough without having your home address displayed on the public Companies House register if you use it as your Registered Office Address.

Not sure if this service is for you? We’ve answered a few common questions to put your mind at ease.

Key Takeaways

• Protect your residential privacy by using the 20 Wenlock Road address as your official registered office to keep your home address off the public Companies House register.
• Establish a professional London presence near the prestigious Silicon Roundabout, providing your business with the prestige of a central N1 postcode.
• Manage official correspondence efficiently through a service that securely opens, scans, and forwards important government mail while filtering out unsolicited junk.

How does the service work?

If you’ve never used our Registered Office Service before, you will first need to make sure your company is on our system, but it’s easy to import. When you have purchased the service you will need to change your address to ours (20-22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU). Remember to do this for the Directors/Secretary if you have purchased a Service Address too.  

What about my mail?

Don’t worry, we’ll securely open and scan your important official mail – and we’ll even get rid of unsolicited junk mail for you! If you’re looking to receive ‘normal’ mail we do offer a separate service for this too.

It’s important to remember that whilst the Registered Office address will be our London address, your business won’t physically be based here (wherever you conduct business will be your actual trading address). But it’s fine to use a trusted address to protect your private address from public records. 

Why should I use your Registered Office Service?

Apart from keeping your home address private, there are great advantages business-wise for your business to be registered in the N1 postcode. We’re minutes from the Silicon Roundabout, a location renowned for the UK’s startup boom, in particular, new businesses in the startup industry.

If you’re looking to visit somewhere a bit different, why not try Bounce, Bar Kick or Escape Rooms?

Is there a way that I can meet my clients at your address?

As we mentioned, your business won’t be based at our address, however, we do offer meeting rooms which you can hire – get in contact to book. We also have a coworking space if you want to work in London regularly, with the option of hot-desking and fixed desks (and private offices).
