One company can have numerous addresses associated with it! In fact, whether you are running your company from home or abroad – you may require one or all three.
- The Registered Office Address is your official address required for legal and statutory purposes. This must be a physical address and will be made publicly available.
- A Principal Business Address where your day-to-day work activities are conducted. (This can be the same as your Registered Office – but doesn’t have to be).
- And, Director’s service addresses! These addresses are also publicly available – yet you can provide an address different from your residential home address.
We’ve rounded up some of the questions we frequently get asked about business address options in our article. The table further provides a handy guide as to which addresses you might need.

Fundamentally unique, a Registered Office Address is the official address of a company, where all government notices and legal correspondence is sent. It is required by law in order for a company to trade, where you can set your Google Business Profile physical location, and a professional address to use on corporate collateral.
A Director’s Service Address is the personal address where a company director receives official communications related to their role within the company. Using an alternative address, like Antrobus House, keeps your private residence off the company records.
There’s nothing stopping you from running a UK business and residing overseas.
