Business Address for a New Company: Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Provider

A due-diligence checklist for founders considering a serviced business address or virtual-office plan.

Confirm the permitted use in writing

Ask whether your plan is for correspondence only or also supports a specific registration-address use, subject to eligibility.

Verify premises documentation

The provider should be able to explain which premises-supporting documents are supplied under the selected package and any conditions for issuing them.

Understand expiry consequences

Know when address-use authority ends, how renewal works and what you must update with authorities or counterparties when service terminates.
