Where UBC Flexible Offices has addresses
Who UBC Flexible Offices suits
UBC Flexible 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.
With 10 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.

From £75 a monthUBC Flexible Offices: common questions
How much does UBC Flexible Offices cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £44.95 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 UBC Flexible 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.
Who owns UBC Flexible Offices?
It is part of UBC (UK Business Centres). Worth knowing if you are comparing it against what looks like a competitor but is actually the same company.
Is UBC Flexible Offices any good?
It scores 3.7 from 28 reviews on Trustpilot. Ratings in this market are thin for smaller operators, so treat a handful of reviews as weak evidence either way.
What ID do I need to sign up?
Yes - electronic ID and anti-money laundering checks at sign-up (covered by the £75 setup fee) and annually or as required; the licence is refused or terminated if checks fail (Virtual Office T&Cs April 2026)
