A Sunderland registered office for Wearside companies
Run your company from Washington, Houghton-le-Spring or Seaham, and keep your home off Companies House. Use our building in Roker as your registered office for £49 a month.
Why a Sunderland address works across Wearside
Our building is at 94–96 Fulwell Road in Roker. It's a real Sunderland address, close to home for Wearside businesses.
Your company doesn't need to trade from it. We receive your post, scan it the same working day and text you, so you never need to call in.
What is a registered office address?
Every limited company in the UK must have one. It's the official address for your company. Companies House and HMRC write to it, and legal papers can be served there.
It must be a real address in the part of the UK where your company is registered. It can't be a PO box. Ours is a real building at 94–96 Fulwell Road, Roker, Sunderland SR6 9QR, so it works for any company registered in England and Wales.
Why not use your home address?
Your registered office is on the public register. Anyone can look it up on Companies House for free. Other websites copy that data, so your address spreads further than you might expect.
If you use your home, strangers can find where you live. Old addresses also stay in your company's filing history. Using a business address from the start keeps your home private.

How to change your registered office with Companies House
The form is called AD01. It's free to file online and takes a few minutes.
- Wait for our email with your full address, including your suite number. Don't file the change before then.
- Sign in to the Companies House online service. You need your company number and authentication code.
- Choose to change your registered office address (AD01).
- Enter your new address exactly as we send it, and confirm it's an appropriate address.
- Submit the form. The public register updates once Companies House accepts the change.
- Tell HMRC, your bank and anyone else who writes to you. Changing it on Companies House doesn't do this for you.
To use our address as your directors' service address too, update each director's details on the same service.
