Setting Up Company - Private Address...

[l35kee]

I'm about to set up my limited company, and wanted some advice on the multitude of websites out there that offer to set it up for you. I'm pretty much just after the registered and director address services tbh, pretty active on social media under my full name and would rather not give people quick access to where my family lives...

Do I get anything else from these services? They talk about emailing you certificates and all that, don;t you get all this when you go directly with companies house anyway?

So for the privacy aspect, I think I'll be taking that route... Any recommendations for who to pick? Cheers

If you don't want your private address to be seen on the companies house web site you can ask your accountant to use their address to be your company's registered address. You can also use this address as your service address for any directors too. This cost me £70 a year and they will forward any post to you.

Could ask your accountant to provide the addresses?

Most accountants offer a Registered Address service as part of the package, just ask them about it.

Some of the online creation services are a bit of a rip off as well. Anyone wanting to charge you more than £50 or suggesting you need any other forms of business registration or certification should be avoided.

You may well end up getting spammed for "additional services" as well and the really unscrupulous ones may cause you grief down the line if the registration wasn't done correctly.

Is this something a lot of people do?

Yup.

I used CompaniesMadeSimple to set up my company - and also use their Registered Office and Service Address services to keep my home address private. They post my mail to me, but also have other options - e.g. scan & email, or mail collection from their London office.

Have you asked your accountant?

You got that the wrong way around in honour of a fallen comrade?
