How do you feel about your home address being accessible to everyone, including clients, suppliers, and unsolicited mail?(Required)

Your registered business address is public information, visible on the Companies House register.

I’m completely fine with it; transparency doesn’t bother me.

I’m a little hesitant, but it’s not a deal-breaker.

I’d strongly prefer to keep my home address private and secure.

What first impression does your home address give?(Required)

When a potential client searches for your business online, your address will appear on maps and directories

It’s perfectly suitable and won’t affect my business image.

It’s a standard residential address, which is acceptable for my industry (e.g., freelancer, e-commerce).

I need a dedicated commercial or business park address to build more trust and credibility.

Do you think having a home address affects client trust or the perceived professionalism of your business?(Required)

No, clients won’t mind.

Maybe slightly, depends on the client.

Yes, a professional address is important.

How often do you expect to meet clients, investors, or partners in person at your business location?(Required)

Never. My business is 100% online.

Occasionally, but I can meet them at their office or a neutral spot like a café.

Frequently. I need a professional and consistent environment to hold meetings.

Considering all business correspondence, packages from suppliers, and potential customer returns, how would you describe your expected mail volume?(Required)

Very low. I expect nearly all correspondence to be digital.

Moderate. A few letters and small packages a week won’t be an issue.

High. I’ll be dealing with regular shipments, stock, and returns that I’d rather not have sent to my home.

Have you checked if you are permitted to register a business at your home address?(Required)

This can be restricted by tenancy agreements, mortgage terms, or council housing rules.

Yes, I own my home and there are no restrictions.

I’m not sure, I would need to check my agreements.

No, my tenancy or mortgage agreement explicitly forbids registering a business from this address.

Do you anticipate your business growing to the point where a home address would be insufficient?(Required)

No, business will remain small.

Possibly, may need a dedicated address later.

Yes, I expect growth requiring a separate address.

Does your industry have specific requirements for a business address?(Required)

e.g., licensed services, trading standards, HMRC

No special requirements.

Some guidance to follow.

Yes, must meet formal regulations.

How important is creating a clear mental and physical boundary between your work life and your home life?(Required)

Not very important. I’m comfortable with the two being blended together.

Somewhat important. I like to “switch off,” but having business mail arrive at home is fine.

Crucial. I want my home to be a private sanctuary, completely separate from my business identity.

Will you need to operate from multiple locations or a mobile setup?(Required)

No, business is stationary.

Occasionally, but can manage.

Yes, will regularly need flexibility.
