Frequently Asked Questions
Need to know more about BusinAssist's Virtual Offices and Company Formation Services? The below section should answer all of your questions.
Can I set up a virtual office and a Ltd company on behalf or someone else?
Yes you can, so long as you have the other party's consent. You can set up an account on behalf of a friend / relative / business associate etc. At checkout you will need to add yourself as an authorised account handler and enter your own email address. We will also need your ID documents. All correspondence will be sent to you and we will have no contact with the Directors of the company. This also means that you can resell our packages without your clients knowing about us and you can add a mark up at your discretion. Please notify us in advance if you are planning to resell our services as further checks may be required. Failure to notify us that you are acting a reseller could result in the suspension of you and your clients' accounts.
Which ID documents do you need from me and do they need to be in English?
See here for the ID Documents that we need. We have a number of bilingual interpreters working for our company who are able to translate documents in a number of languages. In most cases, documents can be translated for free. In some instances where we are not able to interpret documents, a third-party translator has to be hired for a one-off fee of £12.00 including VAT. If this is the case, we will inform you and send you a link to make payment for the interpreter. We are not able to accept documents which you have translated yourself as we need to be sure that the translation provided to us is correct.
How long does it take for me to get my Virtual Office Address and for you to incorporate my UK Ltd company?
Your chosen Virtual Office Address is reserved for you immediately, as soon as you pay us. You should not use the address until you have provided us with all of your ID documents and they have been verified & approved by us. UK Ltd company formation usually takes around 1 working day from the point that your ID is accepted by us and your application is submitted to Companies House. Please note that weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and UK public holidays are not considered by Companies House as working days and they are closed on these days.
I want to use the address allocated to register for other third-party services. What happens if I forget to use the unique office number allocated to me?
Your full address, including your allocated unique office number, must be used at all times. Any items of post received that do not contain your unique office number will be turned away — even if we can identify them as yours. This policy is in place to protect our master addresses from being blacklisted and to safeguard the sender of mail against fraud. Including the office number clearly indicates that the address is a business address rather than a residential one.
What makes up my Company Formation Documents and how will I receive them?
Once your company is incorporated by Companies House, you will receive the following documents:
- Your company's Certificate of Incorporation (via email within a few hours of incorporation).
- Memorandum of Association (via email within a few hours of incorporation).
- Articles of Association (via email within a few hours of incorporation).
- Statement of Capital (via email within a few hours of incorporation).
- Statement of Initial Shareholders (via email within a few hours of incorporation).
- UTR (Unique Tax Reference) sent to the Company's Registered Address by HMRC approximately 28 days after the company is formed. Ensure that you have a suitable Virtual Office Package in place to retrieve this.
- Corporation Tax Activation Code sent to the Company's Registered Address by HMRC approximately 28 days after the company is formed. Ensure that you have a suitable Virtual Office Package in place to retrieve this.
- Web Filing Code will be shared immediately with you via email as soon as your company formation gets completed.
Can you provide me with proof of my company's address?
We can provide you with a receipt showing your payment to us for the virtual office package that you have purchased from us. The receipt will be in the name of your company and will be addressed to your company's UK registered address.
Can I use the virtual office address to register a vehicle or obtain a driving licence or permit?
No. Our address must not be used for vehicle registration, driving licences or any form of transportation-related licensing or documentation. If we receive any correspondence that indicates you have used our address for such purposes, it will be returned to the sender without any prior notice to you. We will also include a covering letter from our office requesting immediate removal of our address from their records.
How will I know when I have post? Will you be opening and reading it? What about confidentiality and security?
We will email you to notify you when you have post. You can then log into your portal on line to tell us how you wish to retrieve it. We only open your post if you ask us to. All of our staff are DBS clear (checked for criminal records.)
What is the maximum size and weight that my items can be and will you sign for them if they need a signature?
At our Oxford Street, Tottenham Court Road and Hatton Garden addresses we can only accept items that fit into a standard letter box. We also cannot receive items at these address locations that require a signature. For ad hoc bulky deliveries and / or deliveries that require a signature you can contact us in advance for an alternative address to send your item(s) to.
At our East Ham, East London Office and our Glasgow office we accept items that are up to the size of a shoe box and that weigh no more than 10kg. We also accept items that require a signature.
Will you forward my items to me for free anywhere in the world? Which courier will you use?
The Basic package does not come with mail forwarding. For all other packages, we will forward items up to a maximum of 100 grams in weight, via Royal Mail. We will use the cheapest service with no tracking and no insurance. We do not take responsibility for non delivered items.
I want my post forwarded to me with tracking and insurance? What are my options?
For Basic customers, mail forwarding is not included and is not available on a "pay as you go" basis. Basic customers will need to log into their customer admin area and upgrade to a package that includes mail forwarding. Where applicable, the below additional charges may also apply.
Applicable to Standard, Advanced, and Premium Customers only:
For anything up to a maximum weight of 100 grams, we will use the cheapest service available to send your item to you globally via Royal Mail. Tracking and insurance are not included, and we do not take responsibility for any items that are not delivered to their destination.
If you would like your items delivered faster or with tracking and a delivery guarantee, you can book your own courier as per the following conditions.
a) Letters
- We can put all of your letters into one envelope if necessary.
- Email us to request the dimensions, weight, collection address, and earliest collection date (please note: the collection address may differ from your virtual office address).
- We will then provide all the relevant information you need to book your post collection via a courier (at your own expense).
- There will be a £3.50 fee per consignment payable to us to cover time, admin, packaging, and printing.
- A consignment can be one letter or a group of letters placed in a single envelope, meaning you pay only one £3.50 fee to us and save on courier costs.
- Once the letter(s) are handed over to the courier by us, it is your responsibility to liaise with the courier, track the item, and raise any delivery issues directly with them. We are not responsible for lost or damaged items.
b) Parcels
- Where possible we may be able to put all of your parcels into 1 box.
- Email us and ask for the dimensions, weight, collection address and earliest collection date (the collection address may be different to your virtual office address).
- We will then give you all of the relevant information to enable you to book your post collection via courier (at your own expense).
- There will also be a £5.50 fee due to us per consignment to cover time, admin, packaging and printing.
- A consignment can be 1 parcel or a group of parcels put into 1 box or several parcels going to the same address on the same collection (eg parcels 1 of 2 and 2 of 3). In such an instance 1 x fee of £5.50 is due to us. You will also save money on courier charges this way.
- Once the parcel(s) are handed over to the courier by us it is your responsibility to liaise with the courier and track your item and raise any queries direct with them. We take no responsibility for lost or damaged items.
I have a Basic package. I cannot come to your office to collect my post or send a friend or relative to collect it? What are my options?
Please note as follows:
- a) If you are paying us quarterly you can upgrade to a package that includes mail forwarding for just 1 quarter. This can be done by logging into the customer log in area. Once you have received all of your post you can downgrade back to the Basic package at the end of the quarter by emailing us. Please also see points 8, 9 and 10 above.
- b) If you are paying us annually we can give you the option to upgrade to a standard package for 1 quarter only for a one off fee of £32.50. You will receive all of the features of our standard package for 1 quarter only (including mail forwarding) subject to the rest of the terms and conditions stated on our website. Please also see points 8 and 9 above. You will need to email us if you wish to use this service.
- c) We do not offer a pay as you go postage or scan service to Basic customers. We also do not read out letters over the phone or retype extracts from letters included any pin codes received.
- d) We do not offer a courier handover service to Basic customers. This means that you cannot book your own courier to collect your items from our office on your behalf.
What happens if I reach my monthly post allowance?
You have 2 options:
- a) Upgrade to a new tariff which has a higher monthly mail allowance. As soon as you upgrade your post will be released. You can upgrade by signing into the customer log in portal.
- b)Wait for the following calendar month to start when your allowance is reset.
Can I upgrade and downgrade my package at anytime? Can I switch between quarterly and annual billing?
If you are paying us quarterly:
- You can upgrade your package at any time by logging into your customer portal. The payment for your previous package will be refunded to you pro rata.
- You can downgrade your package only at your quarterly billing date by giving us a minimum of 7 days’ notice from your quarterly billing date. Your quarterly billing dates can be seen in the customer log in area. To downgrade simply email customer services.
- You can upgrade your package to annual billing at anytime by logging into your customer portal. The payment for your previous package will be refunded to you pro rata.

- You can downgrade your package only on your annual billing date by emailing us at least 7 days prior to your billing date.
- You can switch from annual billing to quarterly billing only on your annual billing date by emailing us at least 7 days prior to your billing date.
Once I have signed up how will I be charged on subsequent billing dates? Will I have to pay manually or will payment be automatic?
We provide a subscription service for rental of our address. Payment will be charged automatically to the card that we have on file for you. To cancel your subscription at any time please see our cancellation policy in point 15 below.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
When you initially sign up you can cancel and request a full refund within 14 days on the condition that you have not used our address service. If other services have been used (eg voip) then a discretionary fee may be applied. After 14 days you can only cancel your subscription on your quarterly on annual billing date by giving a minimum of 7 days' notice via email.
At the time of requesting cancellation you should no longer be using our address as the registered, advertised or correspondence address for your company / business or any of the Directors or employees, otherwise your request to cancel will be rejected. We do not permit use of our address for any purpose, without payment.
