Why is a Registered office for sole directors and not for a sole trader?

A registered office address is a service that is designed for private Ltd Companies and Limited Liability Partnerships. The registered office service is also useful if you have a sole director company registered at Companies House. Our registered office address service is a useful tool to have and is designed to replace the directors private residential address details and protect it from public display via Companies House while providing a premium business address.This is different to a sole trader. A sole trader is not a registered company and does not need a registered office address as they will not be listed on the Companies House public records.

I am a sole trader, so why can't I use your registered office in London?

  • Sole Traders are not legally required to register their business at Companies House.
  • You will not receive any post from Companies House so again a registered office address is not needed.
  • There is no public register for sole traders at Companies house so your address is off record.
  • HMRC will send you post, but this would be to your usual business address (this is not searchable via Companies House)

If you are a sole trader then we would strongly recommend that you use our mail forwarding in London service.
