Where UK Postbox has addresses
Who UK Postbox suits
UK Postbox is built around handling post rather than around the building. That is usually the right shape for a business run from home, though check carefully whether the plan permits Companies House use.
At this price it is almost certainly a statutory service. Check what happens to post that is not from Companies House or HMRC before you put the address on your website.
With 17 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.

How much does UK Postbox cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £0 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 UK Postbox 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.
Is UK Postbox any good?
It scores 4.4 from 813 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?
Identity verified for every individual and business at sign-up ('This is a legal requirement').
