MENTA review
MENTA
Prices are now shown as BASIC £15 (£18 inc VAT), STANDARD £30 (£36 inc VAT), PREMIUM £50 (£60 inc VAT), but the page never states the billing period (month or year), so monthly/annual prices are left null; the sign-up links go to a JavaScript booking app that shows nothing without a browser. Available only at the @inc sites in Bury St Edmunds and Southwold, same prices at both. BASIC: mailing addr

Where MENTA has addresses
Who MENTA suits
MENTA 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
Prices are now shown as BASIC £15 (£18 inc VAT), STANDARD £30 (£36 inc VAT), PREMIUM £50 (£60 inc VAT), but the page never states the billing period (month or year), so monthly/annual prices are left null; the sign-up links go to a JavaScript booking app that shows nothing without a browser. Available only at the @inc sites in Bury St Edmunds and Southwold, same prices at both. BASIC: mailing address for everyday correspondence with post opened, scanned to email and then confidentially disposed of; explicitly not usable as a registered business address. STANDARD adds post holding for collection (letters and small parcels) or forwarding at forwarding cost + 10p per item, and @inc member discount rates on meeting rooms and co-working. PREMIUM adds a Registered Business Address (permission to register with HMRC and Companies House). No phone, call answering or free meeting hours on any pack

How much does MENTA cost?
MENTA 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 MENTA 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.
