Registered Office Address
If you’re setting up a community group or business and haven’t got an office of your own (and don’t wish to register a home address), you can apply to use The Circle as your registered office address.
Every charity and registered company in the UK is legally required to have a registered office, which is the address listed on the public record at the Charities Commission or Companies House. By choosing The Circle as your registered office, you not only comply with these requirements but also benefit from having a reputable and professional venue associated with your organisation. It’s a smart choice that enhances your credibility and provides a solid foundation for your mission.
