Although
a company is a legal person it has no physical characteristics. In order
that people can communicate with it, it is regarded as being present
in at least one physical location, known as its registered office.
Every
company must have a registered office: it is the 'home' of the company
to which all official documents, notices and court papers have to be
sent by law. The address must be a physical location, not just a post
office box. This is because people have the right to visit your office
to inspect certain registers and documents, and to deliver documents
by hand.
There
are various registers and documents, which will normally be kept at
the registered office. These have to be available for inspection by
members, creditors or the general public as appropriate. In some cases,
but not all, there is provision for the documents to be held elsewhere.
In
each case, relevant documents should be available for inspection during
business hours and for at least 2 hours a day. Refusal of anyone entitled
to inspect these documents is an offence.
