Best Registered Office & Mailing Address Providers in Glasgow

What is a Mailing address?

A mailing address is a real, physical address you can use to receive post (and sometimes parcels) without using your home address. Instead of mail going to where you live or work, it’s delivered to the provider’s address and they handle it for you — usually by holding it for collection, scanning it, or forwarding it on.

You’ll also see the same type of service described using different labels, for example:
– Glasgow mailing address
– Business address
– Virtual address
– Virtual office
– Registered address
– Director’s service address

Best Glasgow Mailing Address & Virtual Office Services

Last updated: 5 January 2026. We’ve based comparisons on annual cost where possible. Picks factor in contract terms, mail/parcels handling, restrictions, and transparency.

🏆 Overall Winner: Clyde Offices 🏆

Clyde Offices is the best all-round option for most businesses: unlimited mail + parcels, manned reception, no minimum term, and transparent pay-as-you-use scanning/forwarding.

They’ve been trading 15+ years and are one of the best-reviewed / highest-rated options in Glasgow on Google.

Optional extras are available too, including meeting room hire and telephone answering (from £1 per call).

🥈 Runner-up: Icon Offices 🥈

Icon is the closest “all-in style” alternative because they bundle a lot of extras (including phone services).
The trade-off: it’s capped (up to 20 mail items/month) and comes with more conditions/restrictions — so it suits lighter mail users more than busy companies.

The winner

🏆 Clyde Offices – Overall Winner 🏆

Winner: Clyde Offices (48 West George St)
Best for: Low cost, unlimited parcels, and flexibility.
Key Stat: £45 first-year rate is 75% below the Glasgow market average.
Main Reason: Clyde Offices is the best all-round choice because it combines low annual cost, no minimum term, and unlimited mail + parcels with a manned reception and clear pay-as-you-use handling.

Who it suits and what’s included?

Most businesses (or personal users) that want a Glasgow address that works day-to-day (including parcels), without caps, lock-ins, or confusing conditions.
Clyde Offices provides a real Glasgow business address with unlimited mail and parcels, a manned reception to sign for deliveries, email notifications when mail arrives, and free collection. You can choose to have items stored, scanned or forwarded. There’s no restrictions so suitable for parcels and to use as your registered office.

Costs & Terms

You pay just £45 for the 1st year then increasing to standard pricing of £180 per year with no setup fee and no minimum term. The standard package includes 2 company names and 2 personal names, with extra names at £5 per name/month.
Mail handling is transparent and pay-as-you-use: scanning is 50p per letter + 5p per page, and forwarding is postage + 50p handling. 

Notes and Extras

Clyde Offices is positioned as a flexible address service with no practical restrictions disclosed for normal business use (e.g., Companies House/HMRC/banks/marketing). It is also an established operator with 15+ years trading and a strong Google review profile for Glasgow. Mail handling is transparent and pay-as-you-use: scanning is 50p per letter + 5p per page, and forwarding is postage + 50p handling. 

Optional add-ons include meeting room hire and telephone answering from £1 per call.

Why Clyde Offices is our No.1 pick
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

✅ Over 15 years trading ✅ They own their own office ✅ Cheapest provider reviewed ✅ Registered Address Included ✅ Unlimited Use (mail & parcels)

Runner Up

Icon Offices 🥈

Annual cost: £200.20/year
Icon takes 2nd place. While it is more expensive, it also bundles a lot of extras, but it’s not the best “pure mailing address” option once you factor in mail limits and added conditions.

Who it suits and what’s included?

Businesses that value bundled extras (especially phone-related features) and expect light-to-moderate mail volumes.
The Gold package includes address use for up to 2 companies, email notifications when mail arrives, a director service address, and a bundle of additional services/features.

Costs & Terms

Annual pricing is £200.20 (inc VAT). The key thing to watch is that the service is delivered on a contracted basis (quarterly contract structure), which is less flexible than cancel-anytime providers.

Notes and Extras

The main practical limitation is the cap of up to 20 mail items per month. For some businesses that’s fine; for others it becomes restrictive quickly. The service also relies more on conditions and package rules than simpler “unlimited received like Clyde Offices.

Icon’s packaging is heavily “bundle-led”, which may suit users who want multiple add-ons included from day one.

Other alternatives

Established companies

The other providers listed (such as Regus and Mail Boxes Etc.) are well-established national or multinational operators with multiple locations. That can be useful if you want the option to switch cities or add addresses in different areas.
The trade-off is cost. Because you’re partly paying for the wider network and brand footprint, these services are typically much more expensive than a Glasgow-focused provider like Clyde Offices (or, to a lesser extent, Icon Offices) if all you need is a reliable Glasgow mailing address/registered office with clear handling.

Wizu Business
(2 West Regent Street)

Wizu is a higher-cost option once you normalise it annually (about £745 + VAT in year one) and it comes with a fixed term. The key limitation is practical: they’ve confirmed they accept mail only and do not accept parcels, which rules it out if you expect deliveries, returns, or signed-for items. Call services are also limited to forwarding only (no call answering). It can suit a low-complexity business that only expects letters and is happy with stricter usage rules, but it’s not a like-for-like alternative to a full mail + parcels service.

Mail Boxes Etc
(111 West George Street)

MBE is a more traditional “mailbox provider” model with a higher base cost (~£490 in year one) and important operational differences. They confirmed the mailbox can be used for a registered business and individuals, with no stated limit on letters/parcels, but they generally don’t notify you by default unless you ask them to watch for something. Common actions are charged per request — £4.50 per scan and £8.50 per forwarding — so it can become expensive if you rely on scanning/forwarding regularly rather than collecting in person.

Regus / HQ Offices
(20 Woodside Place)

Regus is the biggest brand/network option here, and the price reflects that (~£828/year). They confirmed their professional address includes Companies House registered office and director service address use as standard, plus email notifications when mail arrives. They also offer scan-and-email and forwarding (daily/weekly/monthly), but charges depend on frequency and postage/materials. There are no strict mail/parcels limits, although very high volumes, large items, or leaving mail uncollected can trigger handling/holding fees. It’s a solid choice if you want a well-known operator and the comfort of a larger network, but it’s typically far pricier than a Glasgow-focused provider if you only need one address.
