Question 1

Are there food hygiene ratings at PO1 1PJ?

Accepted Answer

2 food businesses are rated at this address by the local council. Ratings in England, Wales and Northern Ireland run from 0 to 5; Scotland uses a different scheme that gives a pass or an improvement notice rather than a score, so no number is shown for premises there.

Question 2

How many companies are registered at PO1 1PJ?

Accepted Answer

79 companies are registered at PO1 1PJ on the Companies House register. A postcode covers roughly fifteen addresses, so a high count usually means one building — a formation agent, an accountant or a serviced office — rather than a busy street.

Question 3

Why do so many companies share one address?

Accepted Answer

A registered office is where official post is served, not where the business happens. Formation agents and accountants offer their own address for that purpose, so a single building can hold thousands of registrations. It says nothing about any of them on its own — but it does mean the address tells you nothing about the business either.

Question 4

Is this the address the business trades from?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. The register records the registered office, which is a legal address for service. Many companies trade somewhere else entirely, and nothing requires the two to match.

Question 5

Where does the location come from?

Accepted Answer

The ONS Postcode Directory, which places every UK postcode. The companies come from the Companies House register. Both are published as open data and refreshed on a schedule — a company incorporated in the last day or so may not be here yet.
