Crikey OP I think you are a bit too risk averse, do you really feel up to being a contractor?
I should imagine the likelihood of that happening to you are about on par with you letting one of those nice Indian gentlemen that phone up out of the blue and offer to RDP on to your home PC to fix the Malware they told you it has.
If you do decide to use a faux business address remember to do the same when you register a domain for your new company as well.

Thank you I appreciate your help, but I didn't find anything relevant in any of the top 5 threads in that google search nor in my own prior searches, is there a better search term I can use?Originally posted by northernladuk View PostCheck the sticky about how to search the forums using the google method...

Plenty of reading there for you.
To clarify what I'm trying avoid:
Russian gangs target Britons with new identity theft scam | Daily Mail Online
If I choose the cheaper option here am I going to have my identity stolen? Have the members here had any trouble with using their own address and then having their identity stolen?

Forming a limited company
Hello
This is my first post here and I am looking to become a contractor, by setting up my own limited company
I see that a lot of services online offer the option of having a separate address registered so that your home address
isn't displayed in the public company house register
I'm looking at using formationsfactory for creating the company but if I tick all the options for privacy the costs go from
£11 to £200+ with recurring fees, so my question is, do people use their home addresses?
since company house stopped publishing the birth day of directors, is identity fraud via company house an issue any more?
tl;dr is it safe to register your home address with company house?Tags: None
