Under the Companies Act 2006 it is now possible for a company director to provide a ‘service address’ for the public record.

For any company using our address as the company’s registered office there is no further charge for also using the address as a director’s service address. All we ask is that you include your company name in the first line of the address so that we can easily identify mail for your company.

What does the service address mean?

A company director can now submit two addresses to Companies House when forming a new company or when updating a director’s details.

Home Address
All directors must supply their home address to Companies House. This information is stored securely and is only accessible to government bodies, banks and other credit checking agencies. It is not available to the public and this information is not placed on the public register.

Service Address
A second address can now be used as the service address for directors. This may be the company’s actual business address or office, or a service address as provided by registered office service providers and accountants. This address is added to the public register. The information can be accessed online and is available to purchase online.

Comment: For many years company directors have been legally required to provide their home address details to Companies House. For the vast majority this was never an issue of great concern. Millions of company directors addresses were available for public inspection and there are very few instances where it caused a problem. However, we understand that people prefer some privacy and are more comfortable keeping their personal details private. That is why we allow our address to be used as a service address.
