The necessary precondition for anyone who wants to establish and run a business in the UK is to have a registered office within the country. Without a proper registered office, the Companies House would not acknowledge the presence of the company and hence would not list it under its list of companies that are incorporated in the UK.

A registered office is basically the official address of the company. On most occasions, the address is only an address, with the company actually operating from an entirely different location. The registered office address acts as the official address of the company and this address is used for all kinds of official correspondence. Even while advertising and promoting the company's products, the general public is given the registered office address.

Though it sounds easy, the registered office has number of legal complications surrounding its creation and functioning. Besides the fact that it needs to be registered with the Companies House, another thing that needs to be kept in mind is that the location of the registered office address should be in such a place which has been declared legally valid to operate a business.

Apart from this, all the company stationary needs to carry the address of the registered office. A board bearing the company name should be displayed in front of the registered office. This is compulsory as per the laws of the UK. Any change in the address of the registered office should be immediately notified to the Companies House. Non conformance to these legal points can create a lot of problems while executing a business in the UK.

Big and established firms do not have a problem in finding an address that can act as the registered office address. The problem is mostly faced by small companies who have problems in finding a proper registered office location for themselves. The solution for them lies in taking up the services of a service provider who can provide them a registered office address in exchange for a fee.
