How much does a registered-office service cost? A useful comparison starts with the price for your chosen period and a list of what it includes. Two similarly priced offers may have different terms, while a small monthly figure may require paying for a full year in advance.
Start with a simple comparison sheet: the offer, contract period, amount payable, included services and optional charges. This helps you choose around your company’s needs instead of comparing only the most prominent number.
1. Compare the same period and pricing basis
If you need the service for 12 months, ask each provider for the total cost of those 12 months. Distinguish an actual monthly rate from an annual price displayed as a monthly equivalent. A monthly figure does not necessarily mean you can pay monthly or sign up for just one month.
Record the currency, whether VAT is included or excluded, and when payment is due. If the price is quoted in euros but paid in Romanian lei, ask which conversion rule applies. Do not compare a VAT-exclusive amount directly with one that includes VAT. The aim is to put figures calculated on the same basis side by side.
2. Separate the base price from optional services
Request a clear list of what the price covers. For each service that matters to you, note whether it is included, subject to a limit or charged separately. The charging unit may also matter: per request, document, hour or period.
For example, if the offer mentions mail handling or meeting-room access, check the specific conditions. Do not assume these services are available in every package. Also ask about any initial charges, deposits or other amounts payable. A written breakdown is easier to compare than a general description such as “all included”.
3. Work through an annual cost example
The following example is hypothetical and does not represent Hubit’s offer. It assumes two comparable services, the same VAT basis and four uses of an additional service during the year. Offer A charges 10 euros for each use; offer B includes those four uses.
| Component | Offer A | Offer B |
|---|---|---|
| Annual base price | 120 | 150 |
| Four additional uses | 40 | 0 |
| Total for estimated usage | 160 | 150 |
In this scenario, the offer with the higher base price has the lower total. If you never use the additional service, the comparison changes to 120 versus 150 euros. The result depends on usage, not simply on the package price.
4. Calculate costs around your company’s needs
Write down what you expect to use during a typical year. Do you only need an address? Would you collect documents in person? Do you hold occasional meetings for which you would request a room separately? Estimate the frequency, then apply the rates and limits confirmed by the provider.
Also make a calculation for a busier period. You do not need to predict everything: two reasonable scenarios can show whether the difference between packages matters to you. To distinguish the services, read our guide to registered offices and workspaces.
5. Check which price applies later
A discount for the first period does not tell you what you will pay on renewal. Ask about the offer’s duration, renewal terms and how you will be informed of any price changes. If the provider cannot confirm a future price now, record it as an unknown rather than assuming that the initial discount will continue.
6. Request a clear, concise quotation
- Your chosen period and the total price for it.
- The amount and payment deadline, currency and VAT treatment of the quoted price.
- Included services, their limits and any charges for exceeding them.
- Any initial charges and the terms for renewal.
For current prices and packages, visit Hubit’s registered-office service in Bucharest. If the description does not clearly cover a particular need, send us an enquiry with your preferred period and the services you expect to use. You can then compare the quotation with other options on the same basis.
