What Is a Director's Service Address?

Every company director registered with Companies House must provide a service address. This is a public correspondence address that appears on the official register next to their name. Instead of using your home address — which would be visible to anyone who searches the public register — a director's service address allows you to use a professional London location.

Companies House and HMRC send official statutory mail, such as tax notices and confirmation statement reminders, to this address. Providing a service address is a legal requirement for every director of a UK limited company.

Director's Service Address vs Registered Office Address:

These two terms are often confused, but they serve different purposes. Your Registered Office Address is your company's official legal address. This is the address Companies House and HMRC use for statutory company mail. A director's service address, on the other hand, is specific to each director. It appears next to their name on the public register, separate from the company listing.

Many businesses use the same address for both, and we make that easy with our combined Registered Office Address + Director's Service Address package. Others prefer to keep them separate, especially if a company has multiple directors who want their own private correspondence address. Using a virtual office address for both roles means your home address will not appear on a public register.

Looking for a Cheap Directors Service Address? Here's What to Look For

When comparing providers, price should not compromise reliability. A good value service should offer a real London address, prompt mail handling, and email notifications as soon as any mail arrives.

Every director of a UK limited company is legally required to provide a service address. Whether you run your company alone, have co-founders, work from home, or live abroad, a professional service address helps you meet this requirement while keeping your personal address private.

Sole Directors & One-Person Companies

Running your company alone? A director's service address is still a legal requirement — and our service makes it easy and affordable to stay compliant.

Co-Founders & Growing Startups

Multiple directors, each needing a service address. Our All-in-One plan covers up to three directors, and additional directors can be added from your dashboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I legally need a director's service address?

Yes. Every director of a UK limited company is legally required to provide a service address to Companies House. This address is displayed publicly on the register, so most directors choose a virtual office address instead of their home address to protect their privacy.

Is a low-cost directors service address as reliable as a more expensive one?

It can be, provided the provider is properly licensed and handles mail promptly. Our plans include the same core features as pricier alternatives — a real London address, free forwarding of official letters, and instant email notifications — without unnecessary extras pushing up the price.

Can I use the same address for my Registered Office and my director's service address?

Yes, this is the most common approach and the one we recommend for simplicity. Our combined package covers both under one annual subscription.

How many directors can use one address?

Our standard plan covers one director. If you have multiple directors, additional directors can be added from your account dashboard, or you can choose our All-in-One Business Service Plus, which covers up to three directors.

How quickly can I start using my new address?

Once you've registered and uploaded your ID and proof of address, most accounts are verified and active within one working day, so you can update Companies House with your new address right away.

Will I be notified when mail arrives?

Yes. You'll receive an instant email notification every time we receive a letter from Companies House or HMRC on your behalf, before it's forwarded to you by 1st Class post, free of charge.
