Separate headquarters language from registry terminology
An address described commercially as headquarters may not be the registered office appearing in a company file. Branch premises, service addresses and principal places of business can also have different meanings. Record the label used by the issuing authority and avoid converting every disclosed location into evidence that the company owns or occupies that property.
Reconcile establishment records with the parent company
UK public company information provides registered-address details, and the overseas-establishment guidance explains the registration context for foreign companies operating through UK establishments. French enterprise records can assist when the organisation also has a French presence. Connect each location to its relevant entity or establishment identifier so that a multi-site business is not mistaken for several unrelated companies.
