Does a business need to have the same registered address as the trading address?
Hi there! In England, a business doesn't need to have the same registered address as its trading address. Here are a few key points:
- The registered address is the official address for legal correspondence.
- The trading address is where the business conducts its operations.
- Both addresses must be kept up-to-date with Companies House.
Is there anything else you need to know?
Would a client think it strange to see two different addresses?
Hi there! It's not unusual for a business to have two different addresses. Clients generally understand that:
- The registered address is for official/legal matters.
- The trading address is the location where business activities occur.
If you communicate this clearly, it shouldn't be an issue. Do you need help with anything else?
