FixableWhat's already public about you
Your home address on Companies House
A company director’s home address, left showing on a public filing.
Understand it
If you are a company director or a person with significant control, your details sit on the public Companies House register - and historically that included your home address. You can apply to suppress a home address from public view; since January 2025 that extends to an address used as a former registered office.
How to spot it
Search your name on the Companies House register and check which address is shown.
Close the gap
- Apply to suppress your home address with form SR01 (a small per-document fee).
- If it is your current registered office, change that first, then suppress.
- Use a business or agent address for filings from now on.
