As far as I'm aware all Ltd companies in the UK are legally required to provide various details in their email signature, including company name, reg number and registered address. (email signature legal requirements in the UK | Computer Spot)
In practice do most contractors follow this? Is there any real risk of not doing so?
The only part I'd like to avoid is providing my registered address, since like many contractors it's also my home address. Now, I fully appreciate that anybody who knows how can find my registered address within 60 seconds, but at the same time - the vast majority of people don't know how as they haven't ever dealt with company reg information, and for good old-fashioned privacy reasons I'd ideally minimise the amount of people who can look up my house on google, find out house price etc.
I know that switching my registered address to my accountant is another option, but AFAIK it's not cheap nor necessarily practical. So I'm wondering if there actually is strong reason to list registered address in standard email sig.
