Where 3M Buckley Innovation Centre has addresses
Who 3M Buckley Innovation Centre suits
3M Buckley Innovation Centre is a workspace operator, so the address comes attached to a real building with meeting rooms and desks. You pay for that whether you use it or not. It suits people who will occasionally want somewhere to sit or to meet a client, and is poor value if you only need the address.
There is a single address, so this only works if that location suits you.

From £27.50 a month3M Buckley Innovation Centre: common questions
How much does 3M Buckley Innovation Centre cost?
3M Buckley Innovation Centre does not publish its virtual office prices, so you have to ask for a quote. That is common among workspace operators and it is worth getting two or three quotes to compare.
Can I use 3M Buckley Innovation Centre as my registered office?
Only on a plan that explicitly includes registered office use. Several providers sell a business address that is not valid at Companies House, so check the plan table above rather than assuming.
What ID do I need to sign up?
Photo identification and a proof of address dated within the last three months. Every UK provider of registered office services must run these checks before acting for you.
