Your business could start here
Manchester’s biggest virtual office address
Your registered office address is going to sit on the public record for as long as your company exists, and it's the address on your invoices from day one. So it's worth being somewhere established and real.
Bartle House is Deskmate's Central Manchester address, and it's the biggest virtual office in the city. That means hundreds of businesses already run their registered office from here, so when a client or a supplier looks you up, they see an address with a track record.
And it's not something you'll outgrow. As your business grows, we can grow with you – whether that’s meeting rooms or upgraded mail handling. Whatever opportunities you’re looking to call in your new business, we’d love to bring you support.
So your first month's on us when you add it during formation of your limited company in Manchester.


Experience when it matters most
Forming your first company can be a daunting task; that's why we make it as simple as possible to form your business in MCR.
We have partnered with local experts to provide the easiest application available, plus we have included our Virtual Offices in the process, making it easier for you to launch your new business in Manchester while protecting your home address.
Simple, stress-free formations
At DeskMate, we believe that company formation should be as simple and stress-free as possible - so we have partnered with Small Business Software to provide the simplest Company Formation application on the market.

We don’t charge you to form your company, and here’s why:
We have been in your shoes, and know starting a company is a difficult enough process without all the sneaky fees and confusing packages.
So we built this differently. You’ll only pay Companies House’s own incorporation fee, and nothing else. No hidden formation fee. No upsells for basic features. We make our money by being a good virtual office provider you’ll want to stay with after month one, and not by charging you to start.
