Anybody in the UK can expect 12 months warranty from a UK dealer even if they don't fill in the registration form at all - it's sensible to register, but is not linked to the warranty as we have a sale of goods act - however, this is aimed at consumers, so for a business purchase - registering the warranty is sensible.
