What is a registered office?
Every company registered with Companies House needs a Registered Office, where Companies House, HMRC and legal authorities can serve official documents and assume that they have been received by the company directors. But this does not need to be your trading address.
-
Duport can provide you with a Registered Office service
For instances when you work from home and do not wish your home address to be on public records, or if you don't have a suitable address
-
We keep details of your company’s shareholders and officers
These must be available for public scrutiny at your Registered Office, so you must keep Duport Associates up to date with all this information.
Registered office services
Our Registered Office fee covers the cost of digital forwarding official documents via email. You therefore release Duport Associates in this respect from the protection of postal secrecy, as it is necessary to provide our services. Trade or personal mail, including letters from banks, clients and suppliers are not included in the standard service but can be additionally paid for by upgrading to the Official Mail Forwarding service or our Trade Mail Forwarding service.
Upgrading to the Official Mail forwarding service means that letters sent by Companies House, HMRC and other official bodies will be posted to you, unopened, via Royal Mail services.
Mail forwarding services
Our Trade Mail Forwarding service will forward all business and personal mail, unopened via Royal Mail.
- We will do our best to filter out any mail considered as 'junk mail' (mass mail drops, catalogues etc) and return them to sender.
- The postage costs of forwarding trade mail, via Royal Mail, will be billed monthly.
- We only recover the costs we have incurred in postage
- We do not accept parcels and deliveries will be refused and returned to source
Using Duport as your Business Address can keep your home address out of public records, and provide your company with a suitable address within the UK.

You can, but it goes on the public register and stays visible there permanently. Most directors use an address service to keep home private.
-
Digital suits most companies: post is scanned to you. Choose a forwarding tier if you need physical post, or a Trade tier if you want to use the address on your website and stationery as a trade address.
