What is a registered office?
The registered office for your limited liability partnership (LLP) must be a physical location where legal notices, HM Revenue and customs letters and Companies House reminders can be delivered there by hand or by post. The registered office need not be a place where you run your business. Many businesses use their accountants’ office as their registered office so that their mails can be dealt with promptly.
If for any reason you are unable to access to mails delivered to your LLP registered office or you decided to change your LLP registered office, you are advised to inform Companies House of the change by submitting the form LL_AD01. If you failed to do so, you may risk your LLP being struck off the register.
Choosing your registered office location
If your LLP is registered with the registrar for England and Wales its registered office must be situated in England or Wales. For example, If the LLP has been registered as only being situated in Wales then it cannot be situated outside of Wales. If your LLP is registered with the registrar for Scotland its registered office must be situated in Scotland. If your LLP is registered with the registrar for Northern Ireland its registered address must be situated in Northern Ireland.
