The claim for client entertainment of 5000 people also looks dodgy.....must have been 5 very large loaves and 2 massive fish....

I used to include my personal site's URL in my profile here, until one day I discovered Google had taken to returning my posts in TPD as the top results for me

It's just a twitter feed without the 140 character limit. Can't see any problem with that..

Which guy?...

If it's just Google searches you're worried about, you could set up a blog and write loads of high-quality content for it, along with linking to a Twitter account, Flickr account, and so forth; as well as contributing a lot to mailing lists that have web archives. Google will eventually display all that stuff, leaving boring old company directories to the pages past 10 where nobody ever looks

But you'll still be findable with a directors search at Companies House, no matter what you do

He used his accountants address to claim travel to Jerusalem? Very sneaky.

I take it that's a no then. Is there anything I should be aware of if I change the registered address?

Do you know what a trading address is?

If not Google is your friend.....

Try searching the professional forums using the method in the Welcome/FAQ. We've been over it plenty.

I was thinking of doing this. Are there any disadvantages to having your accountants address as the registered office? Such as the ability to claim travel expenses?

I use a service address, which means the director does not need to disclose their home address.

Service Address

And the company has a registered address which is not my home address either.

In this way, your home address never appears on any public information in relation to the ltd company.

Your name will of course appear, but you can always change that by deed poll.

I find having the same name as various journalists helps a lot...

Can't claim credit for that, my parents sorted that shortly after I was born..

Mather Mahmood is that you?

Thank you all.
