I, like many people, have a company, one I registered in Scotland when I used to live in Edinburgh. Since then the registered company address has bee a solicter up there, and for a modest fee they just forward all the post to me. Recently they decided that they weren't going to do that anymore unless you wanted their "full secretaial services" and a not so modest £750 per year, which is just way too much for a few stamps. So I dutifully filled in the official form to change the registered address, only to have it sent back to me as, for Scottish registered companies, you can't have a regitered address outside of Scotland. Really, really daft. I now have two options: 1. Shop around, with the inevitable delays and hone calls. 2.Register a new company in England, transfer the old one to the new one, wind down the old one and then change the name (assuming I want to keep it, which I do). Looks like I need to get on the phone then, as option 2 is way too complicated.
