    This is great for keeping your details private if you are say, a contractor but I'm thinking ahead i.e. 'what if the contracting thing doesn't last' etc What options are there say if you are running a small software company employing 3 contractors but you don't want the director's home address details to be made public anywhere and wish to have company mail forwarded to your home from a different site unrelated to my home ? At the moment I'm just looking for recommendations for this but maybe this isn't really the site to do this in.
    These guys for example ? anyone heard of them ? https://www.smart-formations.co.uk/p...ivacy-package/
    Start off with using an accountant like Gorilla. If you'd looked at their website they do contractors and small businesses.
    If at some stage in the future you want to move away from Gorilla, then you move your company address to whoever the new accountant is.

    The company you have suggested don't do accounting, all they are is a mail forwarding business, so then you'd need to pay for an accountant on top of that.


    Of course, we're saying all this based on what you've told us so far, and if you're not telling us everything (which could be inneresting), then you're not going to get the answers you want.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Nope, I've told you more or less everything. Bitter experience has taught me not to provide an easy path for people to mess with your life like many of you here I guess you've experienced malicious behaviours from people so I just want to keep my details as private as possible. Thanks again for mentioning Gorilla Accounting, I may well consider them and I missed the part where they also do small businesses, I thought they only did contractors and temps etc

        Is there an extra cost for this service/

        Practically, how does it work? Is all correspondence auto-forwarded to your home address automatically or does all post arrive at Gorilla Accounting and they then fwd it to your home address several days later?

          You can have a correspondence address even though the business is registered with the accountant. Think about big orgs where company registration is in a different city/country/continent to where the office is. They've got to have a mechanism to deal with that.

            I've got a similar set up with my accountant, company registered to his office, but director's home office is my address. I get all HMRC related stuff sent directly to me with the occasional doc sent to the accountant at which point he just tells me (or not, and just deals with it).
