Prove a trading address if working remotely?

Great question — and a common situation, especially for remote-first or digital businesses.

If you work remotely around the world and don't have a fixed physical business location, you can still prove a trading address, but you’ll need to carefully position how you define and document your business’s main place of operations.

What is a “Trading Address” in this case?

For remote businesses, a trading address is typically:

The main address where your business receives correspondence, or where you primarily manage operations, even if that’s your home, a virtual office, or co-working space.

Banks and other institutions just want to see that your business has a real, reachable, and stable point of contact — not necessarily a physical storefront.

Use a UK Registered Agent service

If your company is UK-based but you’re working internationally, a virtual office with a physical address is the most common workaround.

What to look for:

• The service should provide a signed proof of address letter

• Ideally includes mail handling and the option to use it as both your registered office and trading address
