Opening a Company at Home

Case Study

How We Helped This Company Get Started

 

>

Starting a new business can cause enough concerns without worrying about who may turn up at your door step. Many small business start-up from home to take advantage of the cost savings from not renting property. For some this creates the headache of how to advertise the business without telling the world where you live.

This case study looks at a small business that wanted to register a company but needed advice on registering the business at their home address.

John and Sandra supply parts and products to a niche market through their website and specialist trade brochures. They had no immediate requirement to set up their own business premises as most of their supplies could be dispatched directly from the manufacturer.

They contacted Simple Formations for assistance with the registration of their company and began discussing their concerns regarding the registered address of the business. They had read correctly that all registered companies have to provide an address to Companies House that is displayed online in the public register.

Worried that their home address would be included on hundreds of websites we discussed how our office address could be used by their company. They had to decide whether to make their address public to all customers or whether they should keep some privacy and use a virtual address for their company.

It soon became apparent that they would needed a complete address service for the new company. They decided to use our address for more than just the registered office allowing them to use our address as their main address.
