Home Address as Business Address

[BillHicksRIP]

My company's registered address is my accountants, but my trading address would be my own home. For business promotion and contact info for my website, I'm not really keen on printing my home address for all to see, so was thinking about the alternatives?

PO Box.
or why not your accountants and ask them to forward it on.

Can't have a PO box for registered address. My address is my home address. I have nothing to hide. then again I am also the company accountant!

Can't have a PO box for registered address.

The address for customer/client correspondence doesn't have to be the registered address, it can be anywhere. It's only HMRC stuff that has to be sent there.

Loads of companies use PO boxes and so putting one on your website or giving it to your clients shouldn't be a problem at all.

Good point. having a PO box seriously hurts your credibility though if you are a small business.

Quite right. It's a bit like having a Hotmail address as your main point of contact. However, you can get mailing addresses which are not PO Box XX etc. they cost more though.
