Junk mail is annoying wherever you are. Whether you’ve started up from home or you’ve opened an office for your new small business, dealing with unsolicited flyers through your door can become more than just a drain on your time and resources. It can become a question of security.
Your business address, by legal requirement, is easy for anyone to find. Companies House lists it publically and it must be displayed on your website. It’s reassuring for your customers that your company can be traced to a specific address and it shows your commitment to corporate transparency. This address is also where important correspondence from Companies House, HMRC and other government agencies goes.
Of course, you want official regulatory bodies and your customers to know where to find you. But you don’t want just anyone to be able to send you their bulky marketing materials.

There is a simple way to stop junk mail dropping on your doormat. Sign up to LegalZoom’s Registered Agent service when you form a limited company. Our central London office becomes your official registered address. So all your post comes to us. We sort it, bin the junk, and send it

You give your customers your time, your expertise, your blood, sweat and tears. You don’t need to give them your private home address as well.
Protect My Privacy
There are a million things to think about when you’re setting up your own small business. From the practical considerations of how and where to work to the emotional stress of striking out on your own, it can be easy to overlook some of the smaller details. Like, for example, accidentally making some private information – like your home address – public.

What is a registered address?
When you register your UK business, it’s a legal requirement that you tie it to a specific address. That information is publicly listed by Companies House and must also be shared on your official business assets, including your website.
That address doesn’t necessarily need to be the same as your trading address. But all your official correspondence from Companies House, HMRC and other government bodies goes here, so it’s important that you can sweep it all up when it comes through. Unfortunately, a PO box won’t cut it legally.

Protecting your privacy – keep your business address separate

by Legal Zoom • April 3, 2020 • 0 Comments

Originally written by Legal Zoom on Small Business
We understand that privacy is important and needs to be protected. People take measures to ensure their privacy is protected in many aspects of their personal life. That’s why we at LegalZoom are all about protecting your privacy too.
Let’s take social media for example; by limiting people who can view your profile and not having your personal address and phone number available on social media platforms, you are protecting yourself from unwanted invasion of privacy and unsolicited messages.
Why should this be any different for your business?
When you set up your business, you must have a registered office address and a service address. Your registered office address is displayed on the public register – which anyone can access, it will be on all company literature and public documents and is where all statutory documents from Companies House and HMRC will be sent, as well as any junk mail.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way in which you could use the same principles of protecting your privacy on social media and apply them to your business, avoiding invasion of privacy and unsolicited notices?
This is where we
