Frequently asked

Questions about forming your company?

We're here to help. Give us a call and speak to a member of the team. No chatbots, no ticket systems, no long call queues.

Can I change my registered office later?
Yes. If your business moves or you'd like to use a different address in the future, you can change your registered office at any time. We'll guide you through the process and, if you're using one of our Registered Office services, we can help update Companies House on your behalf.
What documents will I receive?
Once your company has been incorporated, you'll receive your official digital incorporation documents, including your Certificate of Incorporation and company registration details. Depending on the package you choose, you'll also receive any additional documents or service confirmations included with your order.
Do I need a business address?
No, it's not a legal requirement, but many businesses choose to use one. A professional business address helps protect your home address, creates a more established business image and gives you a dedicated address for business correspondence. It's particularly useful if you're working from home or don't have permanent office premises.
Do I need a director's service address?
A Director's Service Address isn't mandatory, but it's highly recommended. Without one, your residential address may appear on the public Companies House register if you don't have an alternative service address. Using a Director's Service Address helps protect your privacy while ensuring you continue to receive official correspondence.
Can I add mail forwarding later?
Yes. If your needs change as your business grows, you can add mail forwarding or upgrade to one of our Virtual Office packages at any time. We'll help you choose the right service and make sure your business correspondence is handled professionally.
Do I need an accountant to start a limited company?
No, you don't need an accountant to form a limited company. Many businesses choose to appoint one after incorporation to help with bookkeeping, tax returns and annual accounts, but it's not a requirement. If you're unsure what's right for your business, our team will be happy to point you in the right direction.
Why should I choose The Workstation?
The Workstation offers more than company formation. We're backed by real UK business centres and provide ongoing support through registered office services, business addresses, mail handling and flexible workspace. Whether you're launching a new business or planning for growth, we're here to support you long after your company has been incorporated.
