(And Why Welsh ICE is the Perfect Place for It!)
Whether you’re a freelancer, start-up founder, or a small business owner working from your kitchen table, a cafe or that cluttered corner of your spare room – there comes a time when you need something a bit more official. A registered business address might seem like a small step, but it can make a big difference!
From improving your credibility to protecting your privacy, here’s why having a registered address matters – and why Welsh ICE is a great place to get one.
6 reasons to register your business address
1. It makes your business look more professional
Let’s be honest – first impressions matter. Listing your home address (or no address at all) on your website or invoices can make your business look less established. A professional business address signals stability, credibility, and trustworthiness from the get-go.
2. No spam, just the good stuff
With mail handling included, you’re not just getting a fancy address – you’re getting peace of mind. No pizza flyers, no energy bill spam – just exactly what you need.
3. It protects your privacy
This one’s a biggie. Using your home address for business? That means your personal details could be out there on public record. A separate business address protects your privacy – and your peace of mind!
4. It keeps your mail safe and organised
Our friendly Reception team handles your business post securely, storing it in your personal mail tray. You can collect it any time during our opening hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM). No more missed parcels or soggy letters. With a proper setup, you’ll have a secure way to receive, store and access business post – without it getting mixed up with your takeaway menus.
5. It helps with local SEO
Without a registered business address, you might struggle to appear in location-based searches. Want to pop up on Google when someone types in “graphic designer Caerphilly” or “consultant near me”? A real address helps Google and your customers, find you.
6. It’s a legal requirement if you’re a limited company
If you’re setting up a limited company, Companies House requires a registered office address – and it’ll be listed publicly. With a business address service, you don’t have to rent an office just to tick this box.
