Registered office is an address which is registered with the Companies House in UK, when you have your own business establishment. It is at this place that all the records of your business are kept. It also serves as the official address where you receive your official mail communication. From a legal point of view, you are required to undergo this formality by the Companies Act of 1985. It is also a rule for this address to be quoted on all company correspondence and also on the company's letterhead. Other products of this company should also carry this address, and so also should it be on the signboard outside the office.
A registered office in a famous area can work wonders for your company. This is because of the visibility factor. The address of a well-known place associated with your company's name catches the attention of people and of course, your target customers. This thus brings prestige and business to your company.
All said, the registered office need not be in the place from where you run your business. And this is very helpful for all those small firms which cannot afford to set shop in a uptown commercial area. So for the same, there are services available from providers who specialise in this. They provide you with an address to help you with publicity by the very virtue of your address while also fulfilling the legal requirement.
Besides small and medium-size business owners, the other people who can benefit from this service, are the overseas businessmen who wish to establish business in UK.
Most providers of registered office also have a mail forwarding service, which means that they ensure that all your mails are safely delivered to you. And all it involves is complementary charges. Not only this, they also have the expertise and the experience to help you out with your business-related matters.

Problem with Excel
By: drowssorc | 15-05-2007
There's something in Excel (2003 SP2) that really annoys me: I often have to copy a range of cells from one place to another. If the destination cells are not empty and I delete them by pressing delete on the keyboard, it clears the clipborad and I have to copy the cells again from their original place. Is this a bug in Excel or is it intentional?

Don’t be Afraid to Make Comparisons
By: Kaye Z. Marks | 19/08/2008
Guess what: you have competition.
I know you have competition, and I’ve never worked for your company. Your customers know you have competition. In fact, I’d wager they are the ones most keenly aware of the fact that you have competition, because they’re the people most likely to have interest in jumping the fence and trying that competition out.
