Director Service Address

What Is a Director’s Service Address?


A Director’s Service Address is the official address registered with Companies House and HMRC where a company director, secretary, or key personnel receives statutory correspondence. This address is crucial for all government communications, including notices, legal documents, and official statutory mail.


Unlike a company’s registered office address, which must be a physical location within the UK, a Director’s Service Address can be located anywhere globally, providing directors with greater privacy and flexibility.


Why Do You Need a Director’s Service Address?


Every UK company director is legally obligated to provide a service address at the time of company formation. This service address ensures that statutory letters, legal notices, and other important communications are received promptly.


However, the Director’s Service Address is a public record accessible via Companies House. This means your address can be seen by anyone, which is why many directors choose to use a professional address instead of their personal home address.


Benefits of Using a Director’s Service Address:

  • Privacy Protection: Your home address remains confidential and off public records.
  • Professional Image: A business address boosts your company’s credibility and reputation.
  • Convenience: Receive all statutory mail at a centralized address, which can be forwarded or scanned to you wherever you are.


Director’s Service Address vs. Residential Address


Although you can use your home address as your Director’s Service Address, it will be made publicly available on the Companies House register. For privacy and security reasons, many directors opt for a non-residential address, separating personal and professional affairs. A professional business address not only ensures privacy but also helps maintain a clear distinction between personal and business life.


Who Can Benefit from a Director Service Address?

  • Privacy-Conscious Directors: Keep your home address safe from public exposure.
  • Startups and SMEs: Establish a professional image with a dedicated business address.
  • International Companies: If you’re expanding into the UK, a local address adds credibility and compliance to your business operations.
