About Vaulex Group
We form your company, provide its registered office, and manage its post.
Vaulex Group Ltd is an HMRC-supervised Trust or Company Service Provider and a Companies House Authorised Corporate Service Provider. From three individually addressed buildings at Vaulex House in Penarth, we form, verify, house and serve UK limited companies – with the supervision and the premises in place before the first customer, not after.

Who we are
A company service provider, run as one.
Most formation agents begin with a website and add the compliance later. Vaulex Group was set up the other way round. The HMRC supervision, the Companies House authorisation, the ICO registration and the buildings were secured first, because everything a customer actually relies on – an address that clears a bank’s checks, a filing that is accepted, a verification the register recognises – depends on them.
The business is deliberately structured around automation for everything repeatable – deadlines, reminders, renewals, filings – and a named person for everything that is not. That is what lets a small, supervised firm offer unlimited mail scanning on every plan, a two-hour priority scanning service and identity verification as part of the formation rather than a separate errand.
The digital services in our plans – business landline, professional email, website and cloud drive – are delivered by a sister company under the same ownership rather than resold from a third party.
We are new. Vaulex Group Ltd was formed on 31 January 2026, and we would rather say so than pretend to a track record we have not earned yet. What you can check today is on the public registers and at Woodland Place. The reviews will come one client at a time.
- Company formation
Filed by an Authorised Corporate Service Provider through our filing platform’s direct Companies House connection, with biometric identity checks for up to four directors included.
- Registered office and virtual office
A registered office, director service address and business address at a named, PAF-listed building – never a mass-registration address.
- Mail and parcels
Every letter scanned to your dashboard with no per-item charge; forwarding for £1.25 plus postage; parcels up to 9kg dispatched by DHL.
- Identity verification
Companies House identity verification as an ACSP – included when we form your company, and available on its own, including an expert-assisted service for directors overseas.
- Switch
Moving an existing company’s registered office to Vaulex House, filed by us, with no Companies House fee.
Regulatory standing
Supervised, authorised and registered – each one checkable.
The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 made identity verification mandatory for directors and people with significant control, and placed the agents who carry it out under a stricter regime. Vaulex Group was built for that regime from the outset.
HMRC-supervised TCSP
XLML00000218127Supervised by HM Revenue & Customs as a Trust or Company Service Provider. It is why we verify who you are before we act for you, and why our records stand up when a bank asks.
Authorised Corporate Service Provider
AP021384Authorised to verify identities and file on your behalf. Your personal Companies House code comes from us, so verification is part of the formation.
ICO registered data controller

Leadership
Compliance led from the top.
Zak Ali
Founder and DirectorZak founded Vaulex Group and leads its compliance function personally. He is an ICA Certified Practitioner, having completed the International Compliance Association’s anti-money-laundering qualification, and he is accountable for the firm’s anti-money-laundering controls, its customer due diligence and its Companies House filings.
His background is in building and running digital businesses. The same in-house capability supplies the business landlines, professional email, websites and cloud storage in our plans, which is why those services are delivered by our own group rather than resold from a third party.
The estate
Vaulex House: three buildings, one postcode, strictly capped.
Vaulex House is a 6,000-square-foot estate at Woodland Place, Penarth CF64 2EX, made up of three individually named buildings. Each appears in its own right on the Royal Mail Postcode Address File, which is what lets an address resolve cleanly the first time a bank or a supplier runs a lookup.
The Courtyard
Vaulex House, Woodland Place, Penarth CF64 2EXRegistered office and service address for our entry plan, and the trading address for marketplace sellers with parcel handling.
The Annexe
Vaulex House, Woodland Place, Penarth CF64 2EXPremium trading address with priority mail handling.
The Exchange
Vaulex House, Woodland Place, Penarth CF64 2EXHome of the plan that adds a landline, email, website and cloud drive to the address.
- Occupancy strictly capped – we close a building to new companies rather than let the register behind it crowd
- Each building individually listed on the Royal Mail Postcode Address File
- Move between buildings at no charge if your circumstances change
How we operate
Four operating principles, stated so you can hold us to them.
Transparent pricing
Every plan is a rolling monthly subscription with no setup fee and no annual contract.
- The price on the card is the price at renewal
- The Companies House fee is a separate line, passed through without margin
- Nothing is pre-ticked at checkout
Post handled where it lands
Your post is opened and scanned in the building it arrives at, by the people who run it.
- Unlimited scanning of all post on every plan
- 2-Hour Priority Scanning available, and included in E-Commerce Hub
- Letters held for 90 days or forwarded whenever you ask
Automation for the repeatable
Deadlines, reminders, renewals and filings run on systems; judgement calls go to a named person.
- Filing reminders and a live dashboard for every company
- Same-day formation with fast-tracked checks for orders by 12pm
- A named person for anything that needs one
Data handled to do the job
Customer due diligence is a legal requirement we treat as the point of the service, not a box.
- ICO-registered; we never sell customer data
- Card payments processed by Stripe – card details never reach our servers
- Identity verification records kept as the regulations require
The wider group
Built alongside a digital-services business.
UKBOX Ltd, a UK web-hosting, web-design and digital-marketing business under the same ownership, supplies the business landlines, professional email, websites and cloud drives that Business in a Box and our add-ons include. It is the reason a formation agent can promise those services are built and run in-house, on our own UK servers, rather than resold.
