Curiouser and curiouser! Bevan Buckland Llp are chartered accountants. As both oily and fanny are based outside the UK they will need a registered address in the UK for this new UK registered company that they have set up. And it is generally the companies accountants address. So someone, a partner of this firm of accountants will be the financial director. The law is England and Wales. Scotland is a different kettle of fish.
This
from gov.co.uk about setting up companies. They've sunk a bit of cash into this, you can't do it for free. Back in the day it was about £25 registration fee. Bet it's a whole lot more post Brexit. I wonder where their tax liability is?
@Yebo will know all the ins and outs on this.
Registered address
Your registered office address is the LLP’s official address. This is where all written communication must be sent.
If you choose to use a third party agent to handle your mail, you must make sure that the service includes sending all of your mail to your registered office address.
Your registered office address must be:
- a physical address
- in the same country that your LLP is registered in (for example, an LLP registered in Scotland must have a registered address in Scotland)
You can use a PO Box, but you must also include a physical address and postcode after the PO Box number.
You can use your home address - this will be publicly available.
