Most people who leave the UK keep the registered office they set up years ago: a parent’s house, a flat they no longer live in, or an accountant they no longer use. Three things follow.
Letters from Companies House, HMRC and the bank arrive at that address. You hear about them when somebody there opens them and tells you.
A registered office is on the public register for anyone to look up. If it is a family home, so is the family home.
Companies House now requires every director and person with significant control to verify their identity, wherever they live. The free GOV.UK One Login route is worth trying first. From abroad it can fail, and the law gives a second route: an authorised agent. We are one.
Switch – Business Pro moves the company to Vaulex House, our own building in Penarth, South Wales. We file the change with Companies House for you.
The company’s registered office and a service address for up to four directors, in a named building at Vaulex House. A trading address for your website and invoices is included.
Every letter is opened and scanned into your account, usually the same working day and by the next working day at the latest. Scanning is unlimited, there is no charge per letter, and you get an email when something arrives. You can give your accountant a login that shows only the folders you choose.
We verify each director as a Companies House authorised agent: a photo of the passport and a live selfie on a phone, from wherever you are. We tell Companies House, and your personal code is issued to you.
Keep your current address and have us verify you as an authorised agent, usually within three working days. Fast track: £349, in 24 working hours.
