Where Nwes has addresses
Who Nwes suits
Nwes 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.
With 9 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.
What we noticed
Both prices are 'From' figures; a centre-specific quote comes through a Quick Quote form, so prices may vary by centre. Virtual Business gives a 'Professional postal address' with 'Secure and efficient mail handling service'. The page does not say whether mail is forwarded, scanned or collected, or at what cost. The centre picker reads 'Select your registered office address from the full portfolio of Nwes offices'. Virtual Business Plus adds your own local number and a professional answering service, with 'Call forwarding and message taking (call charges apply)', plus 20% off meeting and conference room hire. Both packages include business lounge access. Prices + VAT. The centre picker now lists Queen Victoria House, Tilbury Riverside Business Centre, Harlow Enterprise Hub, Beacon Innovation Centre (Camelot Road, Gorleston NR31 7RA), South Suffolk Business Centre, Leiston Enterprise Cent

From £44.95 a monthNwes: common questions
How much does Nwes cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £45 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 Nwes 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.
