Running a business from your home is perfectly fine and should not affect your extension application. However there are certain things that your should be aware of. Usually you need to show a banner at the premises saying that you do business here and sometimes you need council permission to conduct business. Also you could be responsible for paying business rates. You are also responsible to take care of insurance, health and safety.hammad86 wrote:hello,
first of all i would like to congratulate all members who are helping lots of people through these informative threads .
Coming to my question my extension is due in June 2016 and almost all documents mentioned in policy guidance has been completed .my only concern is my address , initially i used my home address as a registered address (my business is Software development , IT support and providing business solutions). so keep in mind nature of business most of the time i have to use client premises and rest i can do from home to manage and build company software's/websites.
now should i change my register address before extension or will it be fine ? is it ok to keep same address ?Also if i change address to commercial premises do i need to change HMRC company house and address on bank statements as well? please seniors please i need you assistance on it . Your help will be highly appreciated .

I have the same question we changed our registered address from our home address 3 months ago it appears on company house and hmrc but we never changed it to our business bank statement its still showing the previous address on statements and we are applying our extension in 2 weeks will there be any problem or is it ok if we still change the address with our bank ?zimba88 wrote:Yes, As I explained your service address can be different. However important Companies House and HMRC communications will only be delivered to your Registered Address.
If you want to change your registered address, you need to make sure that the current appointment report and the last bank statements you send them have the new address. You need to show you are the director of a company which is registered in the UK to be awarded points for your extension.

Thanks for your detailed reply.aby00156 wrote:As said by other membersNote: This is just my view and solely my opinion.
- Your Permanent Address has very little to do with your visa.
- Yes since your permanent address and business address are miles apart, your application could raise minor doubts in ECO's mind, hence there are chances he might do some additional checks on your application.
- There are slim chances for you being called for an interview.
- You can write a covering letter stating your business details and how you trade / manage.
- Bare in mind that they can not refuse your visa just for this sole reason if you manage to score all the points as per immigration rules.
- I would recommend you to write a London based address on your form as you said your business is set in London.
- Having a different address in companies house register is not an issue.
change it if you can, you just need to go to the counter of the bank to change it, that's no difficult.Thanks for your detailed reply.
I can put address of London in application form of my partner but what about my maintenance bank statement do I have to change that as well because my solicitor says change your address on bank as well .
