Morning,

My registered company address I use in London is due to expire next month and they have been worse than useless in forwarding HMRC correspondence to me. Do any similarly powerfully built company directors here have any recommendations on companies that provide a good and reasonably cheap service? A quick search reveals that there are no shortage of them for relatively small monies but sorting the wheat from the chaff is another matter...

I have fired off an email to my accountant in the first instance to see if she offers such a service as I know that some do.

Thanks. spin

I'm using these guys, though will switch to an accountant when I get round to appointing one.

They email me when mail arrives, and the re-directed stuff arrives a couple of days later.

Thanks. When I formed my company I used company-wizard.co.uk and noticed they had a registered office 'service' for £100/year. Being new to it all at the time I didn't know any different so took them up on it. Clearly looking at the price in comparison to others they had my pants down, but meh you live and learn eh. Also, for whatever reasons their mail forwarding service was a load of bks and I had to request HMRC 'Gateway' user IDs and stuff several times because by the time they'd got round to sending it to me the 1 month expiry had passed. They were using the excuse that TNT sends HMRC mail and it can't be forwarded like Royal Mail can, and they have to re-package it and pay for the postage themselves. Not sure if there's any truth in that but the £100 supposedly included HMRC mail so that's not my problem if it costs them.

Anyway, I digress...

Does anyone have experience of the cheaper registered office services advertised? I see some for £20/year but scratchchin

As you hinted at in your post, your accountant should offer this service.

I was actually looking into a service like this - These guys actually seem quite good. I take it from what you have said they have never let you down so far in terms of mail forwarding etc? (touch wood)

Thanks
