Where The Hive Wakefield has addresses

Who The Hive Wakefield suits

The Hive Wakefield 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.

What we noticed

142 Thornes Lane, Wakefield WF2 7RE. All prices 'Price from £X+vat per month per business'; no term, setup fee or postage terms are stated, and no annual prices are given. Every package is a registered business address. £15: mail 'stored safely for you to collect'. £25: letters forwarded to your home address (postage terms not stated). £95: adds 'four hours per month use of our luxurious meeting rooms'. £190: adds 'five days each month to work directly from The Hive Wakefield'. No phone number, call answering, mail scanning or director's service address is mentioned.

The Hive Wakefield: common questions

How much does The Hive Wakefield cost?

Its cheapest published plan works out at about £15 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 The Hive Wakefield 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.
