Where Smithfield Offices has addresses
Who Smithfield Offices suits
Smithfield Offices 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.

Both Essential plans have 'Pay-as-you--go Secure mail handling and forwarding', so forwarding is charged per use (rates not published).

How much does Smithfield Offices cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £24.99 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 Smithfield Offices 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.
