Here aresome reasons why many\u00a0limited companies\u00a0(or individual officers of a company) choose to buy a business address service:<\/p>\n
1 Avoid public disclosure of your residential or home address<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re operating your business from home, it allows you to avoid public disclosure of your residential address. As the registered office address of a company (and the correspondence address of directors) is shown on the public company\u2019s house register, you would have to disclose your address unless you purchase a registered address service \u2013 or have another optional address you can use for this purpose. Most people would prefer to keep their residential addresses private and use registered addresses services.<\/p>\n 2Prevent unwanted visitors\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n A special case is where the company undertakes sensitive work or individual directors are involved in sensitive occupations. A company involved in political work or controversial activities \u2013 may be the subject of protests. In that case, the directors will be particularly keen not to disclose their home address on the public record.<\/p>\n Even for an uncontroversial business, it helps to protect you and your family from intrusion. Nobody wants unwanted visitors \u2013 be they disgruntled clients or business creditors \u2013 arriving at their homes.<\/p>\n 3Reducing junk mail<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Because the company\u2019s registered address and each director\u2019s service address are on the public register, these addresses will typically receive many unsolicited marketing emails. Marketers will often target the addresses of new and existing companies with advertising. A business address service, especially one where only official mail and not \u201cspam\u201d is forwarded on, can therefore help those running a company save time and avoid the frustration of handling junk mail.<\/p>\n 4Prestige<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n A prestigious address \u2013 often a central London address \u2013 can lend your business a sense of status. To some customers and suppliers, a London address could increase your brand\u2019s confidence and help boost your business.<\/p>\n
