Registered Business Address/mail forwarding services?
Discussion
So I am after a Registered Buisness address and mail forwarding provider for my small business. Having carried out a forum search, I can see that this hasn’t been mentioned in a few yrs, so I thought I would ask for current experiences please? Who do you use and would you recommend them?
There are a few different service providers I have found but have no idea if they are any good or not:
FOSVA (London based)
CityAddress.co.uk (Manchester and London)
Scanmypost.co.uk
Ukpostbox.com
Companiesmadesimple.com
Any others that I’ve missed out?
Any information or experiences you’ve had would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance ??
Edited to add another provider I just found...

Thanks for your contribution, The prices vary a lot, I’m happy to pay a fair amount for a good service. The company doesn’t get a large volume of mail, it’s mostly emil etc, but I want any official letters to be forwarded promptly, Hence I don’t think it’s going to cost a great deal. Need to get this sorted....
Cheers

Do you actually get any non-official mail from people/customers or is it just banks etc?
One of my companies is set up on the official mail / registered office / directors service address service which is much cheaper and I just use my home address as the trading address for the bank account so statements go there.
Home address is still kept off the record but it’s far cheaper than having everything forwarded.
(I’m assuming privacy is your drive for this, it was for me. Be aware you can’t use one of these services as a trading address for VAT)

You do inevitably get some non official (gov/tax/companies house) mail, from other companies fishing for business or from lenders or indeed from certain clients.
Yes and No, I spend a proportion of my time outside of the country and I have missed deadlines this year and have ended up having to pay a fine because I didn't get relevant paperwork through on time. So it is not just the privacy thing, such a service will hopefully prevent this issue from occurring again.

Interesting. Wasn't aware of that. The company formation place I used offered a registered office address service for a nominal fee which I took as I didn't want to have my home address attached to the business, so the ROA was actually just a mailbox/forwarding service in London. Used the same address for the VAT no problems!
Thanks for your contribution, can I ask which service provider you used? was it any of the above?Thank you
