Saying where registered and finding out where registered?

[UKSBD]

I believe it is part of the regulations that a Limited company has to say where they were registered?

Is there a difference between being registered in England and being registered in England and Wales?

I've always had the statement Registered in England & Wales on all my literature, no idea why, but must have read it somewhere when I first formed the company.

I'm just updating a website for someone who has just gone Limited and they say Registered in England - is there any difference and are both allowable?

As long as it reflects where the company is registered I doubt it matters.

Yeah, I found this after posting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companies_House

Looks like both Registered in England or Registered in England and Wales are allowed.

I can't imagine that anyone would care, but the implication of para 7 of Companies House guidance is that it must be "England and Wales". "England" doesn't appear to be an option. Having said that, the actual legislation merely says "the part of the United Kingdom in which the company is registered"

It probably doesn't make much difference on letterheads but it can make a difference when it comes to changing the registered office. We normally select registered in Wales as part of the incoporation process but on one occasion we wanted to move the registered office to an address in England and that caused difficulties. Nothing insurmountable, but we couldn't just notify the new address

...and at that point @David Griffiths i'm presuming the question on the tip of your tongue was why would anybody in their right mind want to move from Wales to England??

They were in England already. And if the Welsh government gets tax powers, I can see a few more moving that way!!
