Who it's for

Who uses a virtual office at Maggie's?

For directors, sole traders and small firms. Get a proper business address without renting an office.

  • New limited company directors who want their home off the public register
  • Sole traders and freelancers who work from home
  • Online sellers who need a business address
  • Property companies, contractors, charities and CICs
  • Firms further away who want a Liverpool address
  • Businesses anywhere in the UK who want their registered address to help a charity

Why people switch

Some switch for privacy. Others want their business to look better: meeting rooms, tidy post and a proper postcode.

  • Anyone can find your home address online.
  • A home address can make your business look like a hobby.
  • Public addresses get spammed with junk and scams.
  • Work mail gets mixed up with your personal post.
  • Keep unhappy customers away from your front door.
  • Coffee shops are loud. Get a real address with real meeting rooms.
  • Some lenders and insurers don't like businesses run from home.
  • If you move house, a business address stays the same.
Why not a big-name provider?

Why pay for perks you'll never use?

The big national brands start at £65 a month in Liverpool. Here's what that price pays for. Most local businesses don't need it.

  • With the big providers, part of the price pays for lounges and buildings in other cities. A business in Knowsley, St Helens or Warrington never uses them. But it pays for them every month.
  • A city-centre address doesn't help a local business get found locally. And when a client wants to meet, you pay to park. Here, parking is free and the M57 is 30 seconds away.
  • You get a real building with hosts in it. They know your name and tell you when your post arrives. And there's a meeting room ready down the corridor.
  • And there's no VAT to add. The centre is a charity and isn't VAT registered. So £20 means £20.

Director's Cover adds £10 a month to either plan. So £20 becomes £30, and £40 becomes £50. If you move up to Virtual Office later, your cover moves with you. On either plan, post forwarding is a flat £5 plus postage each time. Two free meeting room hours a month are worth more than the £20 between the plans. You can also add call answering for £39 a month to either plan. Or have call answering on its own, without a plan.

Add-on · £39 a month

Can you answer my business calls too?

Yes. A human-like AI voice agent answers your calls 24/7. With your availability on, calls can be put through to you. With it off, the AI takes the message. Then it emails you a summary, transcript and recording. It's £39 a month plus 2p per AI response. Have it on its own or with any plan.

Registered office and Director's Cover

What's the difference between a registered office and a director's service address?

A registered office is your company's official address on the public register. Every plan includes one at the Maggie O'Neill Centre. You can use it as your business address everywhere else too.

A director's service address is where Companies House and others send letters to you as a director. If you used your home, it's on the public register. Your plan replaces your home as your company's registered office. Director's Cover replaces it as your director's service address too. So new filings show our address in both places your home used to be.

Director's Cover costs £10 a month on top of either plan. £20 becomes £30, and £40 becomes £50. Move up from Address Only later and your cover comes with you.

FAQs

Virtual office questions

How much is a virtual office in Liverpool?

A virtual office at the Maggie O'Neill Centre costs from £20 a month. That gets you a registered office and business address. The £40 Virtual Office plan adds unlimited post scanning. It also gives you 2 free meeting room hours a month, worth £40. Director's Cover adds £10 a month to either plan. That makes it £30 or £50. There's no VAT to add. The centre is a charity and isn't VAT registered.

What is the cheapest virtual office in Liverpool that includes a registered office?

The Address Only plan at the Maggie O'Neill Centre is £20 a month. It includes a registered office address for Companies House and a business address. We upload a photo of every envelope, unopened, to your mailbox app. Then pick it up from reception, or have it forwarded for a flat £5 plus postage. Cheaper prices elsewhere often cover a business address only. Then the registered office, post handling or a setup fee cost extra. So check what each price includes. Our guide to the cheapest virtual office address in the UK explains what to look for.

Can I use the address as my registered office with Companies House?

Yes. Every virtual office plan at the Maggie O'Neill Centre includes a registered office address. It's at 433 Liverpool Road, Huyton, Liverpool, L36 8HT. You can use it as your business address too. Put it on your website, invoices and letters.

How do I keep my home address off Companies House?

Use the Maggie O'Neill Centre as your registered office. Then add Director's Cover, which gives you a director's service address too. New filings will show our address, not your home. Older papers on the register may still show your home address. Companies House explains how to ask for it to be removed.

What is Director's Cover?

Director's Cover is a £10 a month add-on. It gives you a director's service address at the Maggie O'Neill Centre. Your plan already swaps your home for our address as your registered office. With Director's Cover, your home doesn't need to show in either place on the public register.

If I upgrade my plan, do I keep Director's Cover?

Yes. Say you have Address Only with Director's Cover at £30 a month. If you move up to Virtual Office, your cover moves with you. The price becomes £50 a month.

Who handles my post?

We do, here at the Maggie O'Neill Centre. We don't send it to another company. Our own team handles virtual office post and keeps it securely stored.

Can I collect my post, or have it forwarded?

Yes. You can pick up post from reception at the Maggie O'Neill Centre, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm. Parking is free while you do. Or we can forward it to you for a flat £5 plus postage.

Can I meet clients at my virtual office address?

Yes. Meeting rooms are in the same building. They start with the Pod at £20 an hour. The £40 Virtual Office plan includes 2 free meeting room hours a month.

Do I need to be near Liverpool to use the virtual office?

No. The Maggie O'Neill Centre has virtual office clients all over the UK. They chose a charity for their registered address, not an online service or a company run for profit. On the Virtual Office plan, we open and scan your post. So you can read it wherever you are.

Is there a contract?

There's no lock-in. You can cancel a virtual office at the Maggie O'Neill Centre any time. Just give one month's notice.

How quickly can I start?

You can start as soon as your AML checks are done. Fill in the form. Then fill in the secure AML form we send you. After that, you get your address and mailbox app.

Why do you need to do an AML check?

By law, anyone who offers a registered office service must check their clients. These are called anti-money laundering (AML) checks. The Maggie O'Neill Centre sends you a secure form for this after you sign up.

Can I use a virtual office for a taxi or private hire operator's licence?

Not in Knowsley. Some councils accept a virtual office address. Knowsley Council asks for a lease, with a suite number, at Class E commercial premises. Officers don't inspect, but a virtual office isn't a lease. For Knowsley operators, the Maggie O'Neill Centre has its own package. It's a 12-month satellite office lease with planning permission, from £100 a month. There's an exit clause if the council refuses your licence. See the Knowsley operator licence address page.

Is it a real address or a PO box?

It's a real building with people in it: the Maggie O'Neill Centre, 433 Liverpool Road, Huyton. Companies House doesn't accept a PO box as a registered office address.
