This service gives your company a real registered address in the country where it is formed — with every letter that arrives scanned and sent to you — and registers your brand name as a trademark so no one else can claim it.
Two problems catch founders off guard. Almost every registry requires a genuine local address before it will register a company or send official mail, and a home address abroad will not do — it also becomes public record. Separately, a company name is not a trademark: until the mark is registered, someone else can file it first and force you to rebrand or pay to buy it back.
What's included
One service covers both sides — the address that keeps you compliant and reachable, and the trademark that keeps the name yours.
- A registered legal address accepted by the local company registry
- Official government, tax and bank mail received on your behalf
- Every item scanned and emailed to you the same or next business day
- Physical forwarding of originals to any country on request
- The address ready to use on filings, invoices and your website
- A trademark search to confirm the name is free before you spend on it
- The trademark application filed in your class and jurisdiction
- Ongoing monitoring that alerts you if someone files a conflicting mark
How it works
Address assigned
We assign the registered address as your company is formed, or add it to a company you already have.
Mail arrives and reaches you
Government, tax and bank letters go to that address; we receive, scan and email each one the same or next business day, and forward the paper original whenever you ask.
We clear the name
When you are ready to protect the brand, we run a trademark search and tell you honestly whether the name is safe to register in your class and country.
Trademark filed and watched
We file the application, follow it through the office, and keep monitoring afterwards so a later copycat cannot slip through.
Who it's for
- E-commerce sellers who need a compliant address on marketplaces, invoices and their storefront
- Freelancers and developers billing international clients who want a professional address, not their home
- Digital agencies building a brand they cannot afford to lose to a squatter
- Exporting SMEs that must protect the name in every market they ship to
- Founders incorporating abroad who have no local address of their own
Why Yorkmark
Doing this alone is where it goes wrong. Address rules differ by country, and an address that is not accepted can hold up the whole incorporation; filing a trademark in the wrong class — or too late — either fails or leaves a gap someone else can exploit. We handle the address and the trademark in the same jurisdictions where we form your company, so the paperwork lines up and nothing is left unprotected.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my home address instead?
Almost never. Most registries require a real local address in the country of incorporation, and a home address abroad is not accepted — and if it were, it would become public record. That is exactly what this address replaces.
Can I use this address on my website and invoices?
Yes. It is a real commercial address and the one that appears on the public registry record, so you can put it on invoices, your website and your marketplace profiles.
How is my mail handled?
Official government, tax and bank letters arrive at the address; we scan each item and email it to you the same or next business day. You can read it, archive it, or ask us to forward the paper original to any country.
Is this an office I can work from?
No. It is a registered and mail-handling address, not a desk. If you actually need physical space we will tell you so, rather than sell you something that does not fit.
Which countries can I register a trademark in?
We handle trademark registration in every jurisdiction we support, plus regional marks such as the EU trademark that cover many countries in a single filing.
How much does a trademark cost and how long does it take?
Cost depends on the country and the number of classes, and we quote it up front with no surprises. Filing is quick, but registration usually takes several months and depends on the office and on whether anyone opposes — we give you the realistic window before you file.
Should I register in one country or several?
Start where you actually trade. If you sell across a region, a regional mark like the EU trademark is usually cheaper than several national ones; if you are in a single market, one national filing is enough. We recommend the smallest option that truly covers you.
Do I have to renew, and can I add all this after the company is formed?
A trademark lasts ten years and can be renewed indefinitely, while the registered address is an ongoing yearly service. Both — along with mail forwarding — can be added at any time from your panel, before or after the company is formed.
