Where Birmingham Business Centre has addresses
Who Birmingham Business Centre suits
Birmingham Business 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.
At this price it is almost certainly a statutory service. Check what happens to post that is not from Companies House or HMRC before you put the address on your website.
What we noticed
Three sites run by the same operator (same ICO number): Birmingham (60 Frederick Street, B1 3HS), Solihull (Knowle, B93 0LN, virtualofficesolihull.co.uk) and Stoke-on-Trent (Highfield House, Congleton Road, ST7 3SY, virtualofficestokeontrent.co.uk). Registered office, director's service address and HMRC address cost the same at all three; the trading address differs by site. The £1.99/£1.49/£1.79 plans are 'for the licensed use of our address on the Companies House public register and HMRC register only': no use on websites or stationery. Forwarding on those plans costs 'an additional £1.99 per month postage fee', waived if you also take the trading address; free mail pick-up is offered (the Birmingham sole-trader form shows forwarding at £3.99 P/mth instead). The trading address plan includes 'unlimited items of mail forwarding every month within our fee' and 'Our fee's include all post

From £27.50 a monthBirmingham Business Centre: common questions
How much does Birmingham Business Centre cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £1.49 a month. Check whether post forwarding and a director's service address are included, because on most plans in this market they are extra.
Can I use Birmingham Business 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.
