Hi,
I am looking to incorporate a new business from home, is it possible to use a
home address as the registered office address? Additionally as a way of cutting
costs etc do I actually have to appoint a company secretary?
Thanks,

The answers to your questions depend upon the State in which you will beforming the corporation.
For example, California requires that you file a list of officers. Because California allows one person corporations you can appoint yourself to fill all the officer positions. Some other States require a minimum of 2 to form a corporation.robertj2007-7-25 11:18:37
from your home address and many people do this. There may be restrictions in
your lease or by way of restrictive covenant on using your home for anything
other than residential purposes, which is a rather different matter. In
practice, it will depend on the nature of the business. If you are just using
your spare bedroom as an office and so there is no interference with your
neighbours, etc., it is unlikely to be a problem.
With regard to the company secretary, this is still a requirement until the new
(2006) Act comes into effect which, for these purposes, is April 2008. Until
then you need a company secretary. You may refer to the online services Tax
haven companies for the best answer and solution to your requirements.
Best of luck.
