Before proceeding further, it is important to understand different type of addresses and their purpose.
Registered Office Address
A registered office is a legal requirement in the UK to form a new company.
You need this address only if you are going to register a company in UK with this address.
Purchasing this address is compulsory to form a company because the Registered Office address is required to be located in the UK.
Director Service Address
If you register a company in the UK you also need Director Service Address, this is the address of the owner/director of the company, however,
It is not compulsory to buy this type of address because You can also write your real home address as Director Service Address because it can be outside UK too, but writing your own address will reveal your home address publicly available to everyone so if you want to keep your home address secret then you will need this type of address.
OFFICE / BUSSINESS ADDRESS
This address has nothing to do with formation of a company in UK, you can buy this address to display it on your website as your address or you can purchase it to use Mail Forwarding In UK.
