A virtual office address can be used as:
Instead of arriving on the homepage when you use a link, a deep link takes you straight to a specific page of that website or app.
We may include deep links in the emails we send you, and they work differently across devices. You can check how they work on yours, below:
An official correspondence address of a company director, secretary, subscribers, or person with significant control in a company.
An official registered business address, to appear on the Companies House record, and to receive mail from them and HMRC.
There are two options to subscribe for a virtual office address:
If your device is iOS and you read your emails in the Gmail app, you’ll need to set a default browser to open deep links:
If you’re a Registered Business, you can subscribe when incorporating a new company through our company formations service
If you’re a Sole Trader, you can subscribe through our partner Hoxton Mix, or another provider you choose.
With Safari, deep links take you directly to a page in one click.
Deep links you open with Chrome, Edge or Firefox, will take you to another page first, asking you to confirm if you’d like to continue with the app or in a browser.
Android devices
If your device is an Android, you can choose Chrome, Edge or Firefox as a default browser – any of these will take you directly to the deep-linked page, when you click on a deep link.
To set a default browser:
Go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Apps’ > ‘General’ > ‘Default apps’ or ‘Choose default apps’ > ‘Browser app’ > select the one you want to use.
If you have any questions about using deep links, tap ‘Support’ in the app and let us know your device and browser type. We’ll look into your query and help you.
