Protecting Your Privacy: Why Directors Should Use a Virtual Address
When you register a company in the UK, your director’s address becomes public record on Companies House. That means anyone can search your name and find your home address online unless you use a Director Service Address (a type of virtual address).
What Is a Director Service Address?
It’s a public-facing address you can use instead of your personal home address on company filings. Your official mail is still delivered securely, while your home information stays private.
Why It Matters
Protects your privacy — Avoid spam, junk mail, or potential harassment. Maintains professionalism — A London or UK business address looks more credible than a home address.
Fully legal — Accepted by Companies House and HMRC.
Who Should Use It?
- Company directors and shareholders
- Freelancers or consultants working from home
- Non-UK residents registering UK companies
- Entrepreneurs running multiple entities

Your personal safety and brand reputation matter. Using a Director Service Address is a small investment that ensures professionalism and At Startitup Global, we offer verified director addresses with full mail forwarding and compliance support.
