Frequently asked questions

Can I use your address as my registered office?
Yes — our Registered Address plans allow you to use the Generator Hub address as your official registered office with Companies House. If your service ends, you'll need to update your registered address accordingly.
How does mail collection work?
We hold your mail securely. You'll need to show ID when collecting, and if you'd like someone else to collect on your behalf, just let us know in advance by email. Standard letters are retained for up to three months.
What happens to my mail when it's scanned?
We open your mail carefully and send scanned copies to your registered email address. Original documents are kept for up to 30 days — if you'd like them forwarded, just request this within that period and we'll arrange it.
Is mail forwarding included in my plan?
Mail forwarding is included in the Post Forwarding plans. For other plans, forwarding can be arranged on request — postage is charged at cost plus a small 20% admin fee. Mail is only dispatched once charges are paid.
Do you accept parcels?
We accept small parcels on an ad-hoc basis, but we're not a parcel depot. Here's what you need to know:

Forwarding plans — the maximum item size we can forward as part of your plan is a large letter (up to 353mm × 250mm × 25mm, max 750g). Royal Mail size guide →

Anything larger than a large letter will either need to be collected in person, or can be forwarded at an additional charge (postage at cost plus a 20% admin fee) — it won't be included in your standard plan.

Parcels up to 2kg — accepted for collection, but an additional handling charge applies.

Parcels over 5kg — cannot be accepted and will be refused on delivery. Please make sure your couriers and suppliers are aware of this before placing any orders.

Parcels must be collected within seven working days of us notifying you.
What are AML checks and why do I need them?
As a registered company service provider, we're required by law to carry out Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on every new customer before they can use our address. This is a legal requirement under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 — it's not something we can skip, regardless of plan.

These checks are part of a process known as Know Your Customer (KYC), and typically include:

Photo ID — a valid passport or driving licence
Proof of address — a recent utility bill, bank statement or council tax letter (within 3 months)
Business verification — for limited companies, we'll verify your Companies House registration

Here's how it works: once you've paid the one-time £30 set-up fee, we'll send you a simple checklist of what we need. Your address service will be activated as soon as we've completed the checks — which we aim to turn around quickly. You won't be able to use the address until this process is complete, so we'd recommend getting your documents ready in advance.

Any questions? Just get in touch — we're happy to walk you through it.
What is your fair use policy for mail?
Our plans are designed for normal business correspondence — the kind of mail a typical small business or sole trader receives day to day. Think invoices, bank letters, HMRC notices, supplier correspondence, and the occasional card or package.

What's not included: if your address starts receiving an unusually high volume of mail — for example, large quantities of marketing mail, regular bulk deliveries, or volumes that create a significant administrative or storage burden for our team — we reserve the right to discuss the situation with you and, where necessary, apply an additional charge to cover the extra handling involved.

In practice: most customers never come close to fair use limits, and we'll always speak to you before any additional charges are applied. If you're expecting a period of higher-than-usual mail volume — a product launch, a marketing campaign, a busy season — just give us a heads-up and we can agree a sensible arrangement in advance.

The simplest rule of thumb: if you're using the address as a genuine business address rather than as a mail handling centre, you'll be absolutely fine.
How do I cancel my service?
You can cancel by giving us at least one full calendar month's written notice once your minimum term is served. We reserve the right to suspend services if payments are overdue or our terms are breached.

Full terms and conditions are available on request. Services are provided by Cowork Ventures Ltd trading as Generator Hub and governed by the laws of England and Wales. · Read our complete guide to business addresses & mail handling →
