What are the privacy concerns?
To register a business in Australia, you need to provide an address for the ASIC to send correspondence. As a home business owner, you will likely be using your home address to register your business. While this may not seem like an issue on the surface, the address is listed publicly, making it relatively easy to find. What this means is that, as long as someone knows the name of your business, finding your home address is a simple matter.
Running a business from your home is stressful enough without having to worry about your home address being public. There are all sorts of situations where this can be problematic, such as random stalkers or disgruntled customers. Not only is it unsettling, but it can also be a risk to your safety and the safety of those who live with you.
How do you protect your privacy?
Although it may seem simple, the best way to keep your home address private is to register your business at a different address. Many people think that this is something that is out of their reach as, of course, you need to own or rent the address to use it. Fortunately, there's a solution that's both easy and affordable: a virtual business address. Using a virtual business address, you can register your home-based business at a new address and protect your privacy.
What is a virtual business address?
A virtual business address is an address that is rented out for use in registering a business. Unlike leasing a traditional office, you won't have full access to the physical space, making the rental cost incomparably low. Virtual business addresses also allow you to use the address as a mailing address and can forward your business mail to your home or hold it for collection. By using the address in this way, you can avoid having to give out your home address when receiving mail. The affordability and utility of a virtual business address make it the ideal solution for home business owners that want to protect their privacy.
