A congested address gets flagged by bank KYC systems. Post that is not collected gets destroyed. Renewals arrive on a stored card. The Switch moves your company to a named building at Vaulex House, Penarth – filed by us, verified by us, and live the moment Companies House accepts it.
Registered office changed to The Courtyard, Vaulex House – filed by your authorised agent.
We read your directors from the public register and price everything before you pay.
Switch – Business Pro: registered office, a service address for every director, the trading address and every letter scanned. No setup fee, no government fee, and the price never rises.
Every letter, on every plan, scanned to your dashboard – no per-item fees, no monthly cap.
Filed by an Authorised Corporate Service Provider through our direct Companies House connection, with identity checks to the Companies House standard.
Phone numbers, mail scanning, websites, email and cloud drive – built and run by our own team, never handed to a third party.
Why businesses switch
Most companies leave their formation agent for one of these. Most discover the other five afterwards.
Automated KYC checks flag congested mass-registration addresses. A named building on the Royal Mail PAF with strictly capped occupancy clears them first time.
No introductory year, no renewal multiple. One set monthly fee that never rises at renewal – and there is no setup fee and no government fee to move.
Statutory and business post alike is scanned into your dashboard the next working day, unlimited, and held for 90 days. Nothing metered.
The service address for up to four directors moves with the registered office, so home addresses come off the new record in the same filing.
Every director is verified with chip-and-likeness checks by an Authorised Corporate Service Provider – the identity requirement under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, handled as part of the move.
We prepare and submit the change electronically and track it to acceptance. You approve once; the platform does the rest.
How the migration works
The Switch is engineered as a controlled migration, not a paper exercise.
Each director completes a biometric identity check on their phone – passport chip read, likeness match, sanctions screening – reviewed by our AML specialists where anything is unusual.
We submit the change of registered office AD01 and the updated director service addresses CH01 electronically through our authorised Companies House connection, and monitor the submission to acceptance.
The moment Companies House accepts the filing your new address is on the register, your dashboard is active and every letter that arrives at Vaulex House is scanned to you the next working day.
Switch – Business Pro from £39.99 a month – no setup fee, no government fee, about ten minutes of your time – we do the rest.

Nobody has to speak to your current provider, and nothing about the company changes except the address on the record.

Try the dropdown test: type their postcode into any bank onboarding form and look for the company name.
Thousands of companies share one street address at the big London agents. Vaulex Group has three named buildings, each individually registered on the Postcode Address File with the council and Royal Mail – so bank and government systems recognise your address first time, and onboarding does not stall on a manual review.
"…deemed irrevocably to have authorised us to change… the registered office address to your residential address."
A leading London agent's own terms publish your home address on the register the day you stop paying. Ours never can – your address is yours while you are with us, and we hand over cleanly if you ever leave.
"…pay the relevant administration fee… plus a 15% handling charge on all postage."
Deposits you top up, 15% on stamps, credits that expire. At Vaulex Group forwarding is at our published rates and scanning is free – there is nothing to top up.
"…charged per hour… minimum charge applies… non-refundable."
Compliance queries, overseas checks, anything off-script bills by the quarter hour elsewhere. Our specialists are part of the plan – the price does not change when you need a person.
Pick the address that will go on the public register – The Courtyard, The Annexe or The Exchange. Each is separately listed on the Royal Mail Postcode Address File.
Your company number and your Companies House authentication code – the credentials that authorise us to submit filings on the company’s behalf. Nothing else is needed.
We are an HMRC-supervised TCSP, so we verify you before we take on your address. Passport chip read on your phone, no appointment.
The change of registered office and director service addresses is submitted electronically through our authorised Companies House connection and monitored to acceptance. No paper, no signatures, and your previous provider does not need to be notified first.
Three steps · we do the filing
We read your directors from the public register and price everything before you pay – four directors' checks included.
Change accepted with Companies House as your authorised agent; your address goes live in your chosen building.
Every letter scanned, unlimited, next working day – and held 90 days, never binned at 7.
Registered office, director's service address and trading address in one plan – at an address strictly capped per building, never crowded, clean with banks and HMRC.
