Where Citibase has addresses
Who Citibase suits
Citibase 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.
This sits at the premium end. You are buying the building and the services around it, not a better postcode. Worth it only if you will use them.
With 19 UK addresses it is one of the few providers that can give you a local address almost anywhere, which matters if you want to look local in more than one place.

Things to check before you buy
These came up while we were collecting this provider's prices. None of them means avoid it, but each is worth confirming yourself.
- WARNING: the only figure on the page is 'From £500 per month*' for London Victoria Palace Street, far outside the market for a postal-only virtual office and possibly a template error; the other centres still show 'From £ per month' with no figure

From £85 a monthCitibase: common questions
How much does Citibase cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £500 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 Citibase 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.
Is Citibase any good?
It scores 4.4 from 459 reviews on Trustpilot. Ratings in this market are thin for smaller operators, so treat a handful of reviews as weak evidence either way.
What ID do I need to sign up?
