01.Conclusion first: it can be different, but it has to be done in a compliant manner

In accordance with the Company Law and the Hangzhou Market Supervision Department.The company's registered address (the address on the business license) and the actual office address (where the employees work daily) can be separated., but a core premise must be met:The registered address must be real, contactable and comply with business registration requirementsThe

Simply put: you can use an A address (such as a park dependency, a family home, or even a friend's commercial property) as your registered address, and a B address (such as a shared office, or an actual rented office building) as your office address, but you have to be able to "find someone at the A address, and be able to cooperate with the verification".

.

02.What is the case for "separation of addresses"?

Why do people want to separate? It's really all forced by real needs:

  • Scenario 1: Startups save money::Just starting out with no budget to rent a separate office, registering from home/neighborhood residence (allowed in some industries), but actually working in a shared office space;
  • Scenario 2: Rapid business expansion::The original registered address is an old broken small, the new team moved to a more convenient office building, but the change of registered address to run the process, temporarily "two places to run";
  • Scenario 3: Special Industry Restrictions::For example, e-commerce and consulting companies, the actual office is in a residential building, but registration requires a commercial address, looking for park affiliation;
  • Scenario 4: Off-site operations::The company is registered in Hangzhou, but its main business is in the neighboring cities and the actual office is not in the registered place.

03.Key question: How to choose the registered address in Hangzhou without stepping on the pit?

Although the separation is allowed, but the registered address is not selected correctly, minutes to be "listed different"! Hangzhou bosses remember these 3 points:

1. The registered address must be "real and effective".

Regardless of which address is used, it must be possible to provideCertificate of ownership + lease contract(or proof of site use).

  • Residential registration: only "Residential to Commercial" (with the seal of the Resident Committee / Owners' Committee), and some industries are prohibited (e.g. catering, beauty care);
  • With dependent address: must find Hangzhou local compliance park / incubator (to have "hosting qualifications"), do not believe that "999 yuan package dependent" black intermediary - later business verification not to The company's business verification will not be done at a later stage, and the company will be directly blacked out!

2. Physical office address to be "traceable"

Although the license is a registered address, tax and market regulation may raid the office! Remember:

  • Retain lease agreements, utility bills, and employee punch records;
  • If you are using a shared office, ask the operator to issue a "certificate of actual office" to avoid being recognized as a "false business".

3. Timely "address anomaly" processing

If there is no one at the registered address and the phone does not work, you will be listed in the "business exception list" within 15 days! At this point, even if you are actually in the office, you have to:

  • Replacement of site materials + application for removal;
  • Or directly change the registered address to the actual office (online can do, 3 days to get a new license).

.

04.Hangzhou bosses most concerned about the Q & A

Q: Will registering with a dependent address affect invoicing and bank account opening?

A: No problem with formal affiliation! As long as the address can receive industrial and commercial letters, with verification, invoices and account opening can be done normally (the bank may go to the door to take pictures, in advance and rely on the party to communicate can be).

Q: Do I have to change my registered address if my office address has changed?

A: Not necessarily! However, if you are not working at the registered address for a long time (more than 6 months), it is recommended to change it - firstly, to avoid being investigated, and secondly, customer visits can't find the place to affect the trust.

Q: Can I change my office address to residential after residential registration?

A: Yes! The prerequisite is that the residence meets the conditions of "residential to commercial" (such as not illegal construction, does not affect the neighbors), and the industry is allowed (such as the Internet, design).

.

In conclusion: the address is the company's "legal identity card", do not be greedy!

Many bosses feel that "fill in the address casually on the line", the results of the later because of address anomalies, loan restrictions, bidding was rejected, and even the legal person is limited to high ......

In Hangzhou company registration, the registered address and the actual office address can be separated, but "separate ≠ random" - when choosing the address to ask a few more "can cooperate with the verification"! "There is no hosting qualification" is 100 times more important than saving a few hundred dollars in affiliation fees!
