Who Virtually There suits
Virtually There sells the address and the post handling around it, without a building attached. For most small companies that is the sensible middle of this market.
With 19 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.
What we noticed
Post forwarding is NOT in any package: it is an optional extra at £18 +VAT/month or £180 +VAT/year ('please allow up to 5 days for delivery'). Every package includes 10 free mail scans a month, then £1 per item; unlimited scanning £10 +VAT/month. The plain Virtual Office is a trading address only: the pricing page crosses out 'Use to register with Companies House' and 'Directors Service Address'; the registered address costs extra (add-on 'from just £8.50 per month', or the Registered Office Address package from £17/month, or Registered Virtual Office from £234/yr or £23.50/month; the site quotes all three). Registered packages cover a director's service address for up to 2 directors, £2 per month for each extra director. Site-card and location-page per-month rates are 'when billed annually'; annual prices above are 12x that rate (the pricing page confirms 'From £120 +VAT /year'). The mo
Things to check before you buy
These came up while we were collecting this provider's prices. None of them means avoid it, but each is worth confirming yourself.
- the sister site virtualoffice-london.co.uk still shows the older figures (Farringdon '£14' and '£14.58', registered office package 'from £16.00 per month')
- the FAQ still says the registered address add-on is 'available from just £8.50 per month' while the registered office page headline is 'From £17.00/month' for the package with a trading address

From £35 a monthVirtually There: common questions
How much does Virtually There cost?
Its cheapest published plan works out at about £8.50 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 Virtually There 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 Virtually There any good?
It scores 4.5 from 540 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?
Mandatory AML checks: one photo ID plus proof of home address from a utility bill, and a selfie holding the ID. Set-up completes once checks are done.
