⚡ Quick Answer: Yes. Sole traders can use the Virtual Office London plan on the same terms as limited companies. You'll use our address for your business correspondence, and your mail is scanned and available under the Mail tab in your portal.

How It Works for Sole Traders

You sign up for the Virtual Office London plan and use the address at 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA for business purposes.

Your mail should be addressed using your name and trading name:

Your Name trading as Your Business Name

66 Paul Street

London

EC2A 4NA

For example: John Doe trading as JD IT

What You Can Use the Address For

⚠️ Important: Sole traders cannot register a company at Companies House (that requires a limited company). The address is used for business correspondence only.

Verification

Sole traders must complete KYC verification before services are activated. You'll need to provide:

• Proof of ID (passport, driving licence, or national ID card)
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement, or council tax bill — dated within 3 months)

Verification typically takes up to one business day.

Thinking About Incorporating?

If you later incorporate as a limited company, contact help@hoxtonmix.com with your company number and incorporation date. We'll update your account, and you can then use the address as your Companies House registered office.

Common Questions

Can I use this as my registered business address with HMRC?

Yes. You can use it as your business address for Self Assessment and correspondence.

Do I need a trading name to sign up?

No. You can sign up under your personal name. Adding a trading name is optional.

Is the pricing the same as for limited companies?

Yes. The Virtual Office London plan is priced the same regardless of business type.

Can I add a Director's Service Address?

No — that's for limited company directors only. As a sole trader, you don't have a Companies House director listing.
