Business Mail forwarding

theFlash

Hi All,


I need to setup a non home address for my sole trader business asap.



I receive very few letters - this is merely to give to a new client who requires an address for their invoicing system. I want it too look professional , but cheap also!


I may become limited eventually, but not for a while. A bonus would be if I can add this address to Google to provide a location for the business (even if it is in the approx vicinity) - but this isn't vital.


Regal virtual offices seem to charge around £90 + vat per month, which I hope is pricey, and beyond what I want to pay.



I see UK Post Box have a PAYG service, though I doubt I could use their addresses as a local on Google maps, and not sure how good they are, and how professional their addresses look.


Is it worth getting a Royal Mail PO Box? (I suspect this will take some weeks anyway, which I haven't got).


Any recommendations?


Many thanks,

Savvy_Sue

Royal Mail PO box isn't cheap.

If you're considering going limited, then getting an accountant who would be willing to have your business registered to their address would probably be simplest and cheapest option.

Just called a local accountants. I don't want to go limited yet, but obviously in the future I may want to. Told them the situation, but they don't offer an address only service.

Well, that one may not, but many do!

Although slight correction, I wouldn't expect any to offer an address only service, however if you engaged them now, ready to give advice when you are thinking about becoming a limited co, then they might offer such a service.

Will try to find others locally I guess.

I just put our accountant's postcode into google.


Top result was "92 companies registered at XX1 1XX"


They are, though, all Limited Co's
