/ What this app answers
Three questions, one app.
Every Snap is scoped to one operator decision. AddressSnap answers three sub-questions that, together, give you the call you needed to make on registered office this week.
/ 02
Should you use the accountant?
What it costs, who is on the hook for mail handling, and how it changes lender perception.
/ 03
Virtual office vs trade premises?
The £20/mo virtual option, the trade-warehouse upgrade, and the tax/post tradeoffs each carries.
/ Who this is for
Built for the operators who actually have to decide.
Founders incorporating a new UK Ltd, directors switching from a home address, accountants and formations agents bulk-managing dozens of clients.

/ FAQ · before you ask
What people ask before they use AddressSnap.
01 Is a home address actually a problem on Companies House? +
It is a public record indexed by data brokers within hours. For some directors that is fine; for high-profile, regulated or family-safety contexts it is not. AddressSnap names which group you sit in.
02 Can I switch my registered office mid-year? +
Yes — Companies House lets you file form AD01 at any time and the change is free. AddressSnap walks you through the post-switch checks (HMRC, bank, ICO).
03 Will the accountant address change my tax position? +
No. Registered office is administrative, not where the company is managed. Accountant addresses do not move where you pay tax.
04 Why pick AddressSnap over just asking the accountant? +
Accountants default to recommending their own address — which is a real, valid option but not always the best one. AddressSnap gives you the honest comparison before you ask.
