How to get info on an address?

[newtoUK]

Hi folks,


I'm new to forum and I see it's really funny and great place for doing business in UK. My question is this;


I have an address of an offshore company, and I would like to learn which company provided this offshore service. How can I get this information? Address is; "Fort House, Old Hartley, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, NE26 4RL, United Kingdom" and I really need which company provide this address.


Because I will start same company under same conditions.


Thank you!

"Fort House, Old Hartley, Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, NE26 4RL, United Kingdom"

How comes you think the above mentioned company is an offshore company and why does your post sounds like nonsense?

Hi Admin, there are 2 reasons. When I do search in Google, it shows me lots of companies registered on same address. So I think it's an offshore company, please correct me if I'm wrong. And the other reason is I saw some documents on the company I plan to start same but I'm not really sure if it's 100% offshore because I couldn't see all documents.


Why my post sounds nonsense I'm really not sure maybe it's because I'm really new to this and no idea how to ask question..


I'm very sorry for this.

I'm very sorry for this.

Your welcome It's ok :hello:


The UK is not considered to be an offshore jurisdiction at all and it is pretty clear that the reason for why there are so many companies registered at that address is the fact that it is owned by a company formation service doing nothing other than to form companies in the UK. Do you represent this company?


What corporate documents have you seen and what company are you looking to start?

 

[newtoUK]

So do you think it may NOT be an offshore company?


btw thank you many times for fast replies with my threads.

It is a simple company formation service on this address which house lots of companies, nothing unusual for such a business activity, we have the same on our address so other similar business have.

So where can I find which company formatted this company? I want to work with same place. Thank you.

Well according to wikipedia

A company which is incorporated outside the jurisdiction of its primary operations regardless of whether that jurisdiction is an offshore financial centre (sometimes known as a non-resident company) i.e. a Canadian company may be 'offshore' for the purposes of a USA citizen ; or,

So a UK company or the UK itself can be considered offshore!

The guys Company set-up eOffice are really cool in order to form a UK company why not approach them, beside the company formation they also offer lots of other services like Virtual Office, Meeting Rooms and son, everything a serious business established in the UK will need sooner or later

If it hadn't been for one of the (now) repetitive arguments about offshore jurisdictions, I would've continued assuming the only offshore jurisdictions around were the one listed by OECD as tax havens. I had no clue about the fact outlined that any company which is incorporated outside the jurisdiction of its primary operations is considered to be offshore!!! Thanks for the clarification

True the forum and most users here are focusing only on Tax Haven countries but I find it suitable to correct the confusion about an Offshore company and a tax haven even though the number of tax haven countries are on the way down and offshore is way up

Many thanks for additional informations. So only tax heaven doesn't mean offshore company.


We are actually not interested in tax evading. We of course willing to pay our taxes of course if it's low, we are happy


So where can I find that address is being operated by which company?


Thank you!

 

[Safa]

Why don't you google the address or use the yellow pages in the uk?

 

[newtoUK]

Yeah it's really good way to see the map of that address


But I need the information which company is running there and I really can't find from Google or Yellow Pages.


When I do Google to that url; I see lots of offshore companies and a silly map what doesn't work for me.
