What is a company's registered office?

The head office is the official place where a company or organization is located. It is the address where the company is legally registered and where it acts in accordance with the law. Corporate headquarters can also be referred to as place of business, headquarters, or corporate headquarters.

The place of business is important as it determines the jurisdiction of the courts and authorities and can affect the tax obligations of the company. The location of the company can also have an impact on the creditworthiness of the company and is taken into account when applying for bank loans and financing.

The registered office may differ from the actual business address of the company or organization as it is possible to use a virtual business address or a service provider such as a virtual office provider to receive and forward business mail.

It is important that the registered office is accurate and up to date as changes must be reported and the registered office must appear on all company papers, contracts and on the company's website.
