Where Capital Space has addresses
Who Capital Space suits
Capital Space 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.
What we noticed
Virtual offices are sold at two centres, Capital Business Centre (22 Carlton Road, South Croydon CR2 0BS) and Milton Keynes Business Centre (Foxhunter Drive, Linford Wood MK14 6GD), with identical 'from' prices + VAT. The pages only list 'Mailing services from £50pm + VAT' and 'Call answering/forwarding from £85pm + VAT' plus 'Meeting rooms at discounted rates', free parking and brand visibility. They do not say whether the £85 call service includes the mailing address, what 'mailing services' covers (forwarding, scanning, collection), or whether a registered office is included; the Croydon page has a 'Virtual registered office address' heading with no price.

From £34 a monthCapital Space: common questions
How much does Capital Space cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £50 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 Capital Space 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.
