Get a virtual office and register the business to that?

That costs and I'm a tight arse contractor!

Rename your house to MYCO TOWERS

Now there is an idea!

lol

The pain is having to put the registered office on the website. Adding a domestic address like 5 Acacia Close makes you look very small fry

Any thuoghts on the new legislation?
http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg...Type=1&r.s=rul

I'm specifically thinking about the clause...

You must display the company's registered name at its registered office and inspection place(s), and any other location at which you carry on business. The signs must be in a prominent position so visitors can easily read them. Companies may be exempt from this requirement where:
• they have never traded - ie they have been dormant since incorporation
• the location is primarily a domestic location provided the premises is not the company's registered office or a location for inspection of its records
.

What is it that's new about this rule.

I've been breaking the law by not having a nameplate at my company's registered address for 25 years. No-one has ever said a thing.

Doesn't state how big the sign needs to be. It just says that visitors must be able to read it.

Please ensure that the signs are displayed in the following languages:

I bought a brass plate and stuck it up on the outside of my house, when I registered my company You can see it if you walk in the back gate! Put it there 'cos I wasn't quite certain about any terms in the leasehold of the property / deeds, about running a business from home. Didn't want complaints from neighbours about running a business etc.

not quite.

You have to disply the sign if it's a trading location UNLESS it's a domestic location UNLESS it's a registered office.

[NickNick]

It's the circular thinking that got me.

You must display the company's registered name at its registered office and inspection place(s)

Companies may be exempt from this requirement where:
• the location is primarily a domestic location provided the premises is not the company's registered office.

So you have to disply the sign if it's a registered office UNLESS it's a domestic location UNLESS it's a registered office.

[NickFitz]

It's always been the case that a nameplate is required at the registered office.

Not that any contractor I know has ever bothered, but this isn't a new requirement. As TFA says, this is just a unification of pre-existing regulations.

What if they're allite^H^H^H^H^H illatera^H^H^H^H^H^H can't read?

Am I now expected to provide literacy courses at the entrance to my premises?

How do I stop visitor's who can't read from attempting to do so?

[Emigre]

Doesn't state how big the sign needs to be. It just says that visitors must be able to read it.

I guess that's if they look in the right place.

Think I'll give up contracting and get into the name plate business.

More beurocratic nonsense.
