Using your mailbox and company documents

If FOUNDRS provides your registered office address, post sent to your company at that address appears in your mailbox. Your company documents are kept in FOUNDRS too.

Find your mail

  1. Open your mailbox

    Select Documents in the menu. Scanned letters are stored in the Virtual Office folder. Mail is scanned and added within one business day of arriving.

  2. Open a letter

    Select a letter to see the scanned pages. Each letter comes with a short summary and tags, so you can see what it's about at a glance.

  3. Download a scan

    Select Download at the top right of the letter to save a copy. Select Documents to go back to your list.

Notifications

We'll email you when new mail arrives. To keep your inbox manageable, you'll get no more than one notification in 24 hours, however many letters arrive.

Scanning and original letters

After scanning, your physical post is stored securely for 30 days and then shredded. We don't currently forward physical post.

Company documents

  1. Find your company documents

    Select Documents in the menu. You'll find all the documents you've generated and imported, such as your certificate of incorporation, articles of association and filed confirmation statements. Scanned mail sits in the Virtual Office folder, and a red dot marks anything new.

    To add your own files, select New, drag and drop them onto the page, or select Choose files. Your storage usage is shown alongside.

What happens next

New letters appear in your mailbox within one business day of arriving. If a letter mentions a deadline, check your compliance tasks. See Understanding your compliance tasks.

Troubleshooting

I'm expecting a letter that hasn't arrived

If a letter isn't in your mailbox, it usually means it hasn't reached your registered office yet. Ask the sender to check they used your company name and your registered office address exactly as it appears on the Companies House register. Post without your company name may not reach your mailbox. If it's still missing, select Need help? and our team will look into it.

I'm not getting notifications

Check your spam or junk folder. We send no more than one notification email in 24 hours, so if several letters arrive close together, one email covers them all. You can't change your notification settings at the moment.
