No More PO Box Address for Company Registration!

At JS Accounting Consultant Limited, we’ve recently received a number of enquiries from new clients whose companies were struck off by Companies House — all because of address issues. Most of these cases share one thing in common: their companies were registered using a PO Box or non-compliant virtual address provided by a cheap, unregulated agency.

Let’s be clear — Companies House no longer accepts PO Boxes as valid registered office addresses. Your company’s registered office must be a real, physical address where official government correspondence can be delivered and acknowledged.

Unfortunately, some low-cost formation agencies continue to use PO Box-style or unverified addresses, putting their clients’ businesses at serious risk from day one.

Why your registered address matters

Your registered office is the official home of your company. It’s where Companies House, HMRC, and other government departments send critical documents — including your authentication code (needed for online filings) and UTR number (Unique Taxpayer Reference for tax purposes).

If those letters never reach you because your address isn’t valid or properly managed, you could face major problems:

• You may not receive your company’s login credentials or tax documents

• You could miss important filing reminders and deadlines

• Your company might even be struck off the register for non-compliance

  
  

Sadly, we’ve seen many business owners spend time and money trying to fix these avoidable issues, often because their original agency refused to help or withheld key information like the authentication code and UTR number.

Don’t be fooled by “cheap” registration services

While it’s tempting to go for the lowest price, cheap doesn’t always mean safe. Many low-cost agencies cut corners, risking your company’s compliance and long-term stability. The small savings upfront can turn into big losses later when your company faces penalties or dissolution.

At JS Accounting Consultant Limited, we do things differently. We provide:

• A legitimate, physical registered office address compliant with Companies House

• Prompt and secure mail forwarding for all official correspondence

• Proper assistance to obtain your authentication code and UTR number
