Where Start Up A-Z has addresses
Who Start Up A-Z suits
Start Up A-Z is a company formation agent that sells an address alongside incorporation. That makes it a strong choice if you are setting the company up now and want one supplier for both. It usually means the address is billed yearly and covers official post rather than everything your customers might send.
What we noticed
Deskmate is a six-site chain left to the national sweep (its own Birmingham listing reads Colmore Row, B3 2BS, while SUAZ gives Colmore Row, B2 3BS). The Birmingham Basic Package costs £9.99 +VAT a month or £99.99 +VAT a year and includes a registered office and director's service address, unlimited digital forwarding of statutory mail, and up to 2 scanned business-mail items a month. The Birmingham page headline says 'from £10 +VAT' and 'Annual Package - £100 +VAT /year'. SUAZ also sells a Manchester address with Basic £9.99, Professional £12.99 and Premium £39.99 +VAT a month; it is outside this slice and not recorded here.

How much does Start Up A-Z cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £9.99 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 Start Up A-Z 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.
