Where Norwich Research Park has addresses
Who Norwich Research Park suits
Norwich Research Park 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 £94.40 a monthNorwich Research Park: common questions
How much does Norwich Research Park cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £70 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 Norwich Research Park 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.
