Registered office address check

Look up the current registered office of any UK company plus its full address history. Frequent moves, mail-forwarding hubs and PO box addresses can be early warning signs.

What this check tells you

Every UK company must maintain a public registered office where statutory mail can be served. The address must be in the correct jurisdiction (England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland). Address history is often the fastest way to see whether a company has been shifted between virtual offices to obscure its trail.

Red flags

· Very frequent address changes over a short period
· Shared with hundreds of unrelated companies (accountancy or mail-forwarding hub)
· PO Box only, or a purely residential terraced address for a "consultancy" trading company
· Recent move just before a filing deadline or insolvency
