A registered office is a legal requirement for any individual that wishes to register a company. The purpose of the address is to provide a place for the company to receive official communication(s) from government bodies, with an address for delivering legal notices and statutory mail. It has to be a full, physical postal address within the state where the company is registered.
Both residential and non-residential addresses are acceptable, but commercial addresses are extensively used for the purpose of registration. The registered office doesn’t need to be within the same part of the county where the company conducts its main trading activities. It’s meant for receiving official mail and storing statutory records for inspection.
