Shifting Registered Office of LLP
Overview – Shifting Registered Office of LLP
At Cardiff Services, we provide expert guidance and end-to-end support for shifting the registered office of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), ensuring compliance with the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 and related regulations.
The registered office of an LLP is the official address where all legal notices, communications, and documents from government authorities are sent. Changing this address requires adherence to specific procedural formalities and timely filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
An LLP may choose to shift its registered office:
Within the same city or local limits
To a different city, town, or district within the same state
To a different state altogether
Each type of shift involves distinct compliance requirements, including board approval (via partners’ consent), updated address proof, and filing Form LLP-15 with the RoC within 30 days of the shift.
Cardiff Services ensures that your LLP’s registered office change is executed seamlessly, including preparation of resolutions, necessary filings, and notifications to authorities, thereby maintaining statutory compliance and avoiding legal complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
A company name search ensures that your chosen business name is unique, legally compliant, and not already registered with Companies House UK. It helps you avoid legal disputes, trademark issues, and confusion in the Cardiff business market.
If your desired name is already registered, you’ll need to choose a different name or modify it. Using a taken name could result in rejection by Companies House or potential legal issues. Our experts can help you brainstorm alternative names that are compliant and market-ready.
It’s not advisable to use a name that’s too similar to another company, especially within the same industry. Similar names can confuse customers and risk trademark disputes. A company name search helps you identify these risks early.
For a company name search in Cardiff, you may need:
Proposed company name
Business entity type (Ltd, LLP, Partnership, etc.)
Jurisdiction (Cardiff / UK)
Owner or shareholder details (if applicable)
Business description
A “high probability” result means your proposed company name is likely to be available, but further checks are recommended. This is why our detailed Cardiff Company Name Search Report includes both identical and similar names for clarity.
Certain words are restricted under UK law (e.g., “bank,” “insurance,” “government”). If you want to use them, you’ll need special approval from regulatory bodies. We guide you through this process if your Cardiff business requires such terms
