Should I use private home address?

Hi,

Need some advice. I currently freelance and work from home.

When invoicing, do I need to write my private home address on it? Personally I don't really want to do this as I don't want all my customers knowing where I live, but I don't have any other business address to use...

I also want to do printing for the customers who ask for it, but again, I'd need to put my place of residence on the parcel in case it gets lost in the post etc.

Is there anyway I can not use my personal home address?

Thanks in advance!

 

Hi, think about registering in a virtual office. You can use their mailing services and the address. Using an office address will make you look more proffesional so this is another benefit

 

Hi Road2Sale

Thanks for replying. I've had a look at virtual offices and currently it's not really something I can afford each month as my freelancing is still in its early stages and I don't have a constant stream of customers yet.

Maybe in the future when my income grows a bit it can be something I look into again and be able to afford
