1. why you need a business address

Whether you're self-employed, a freelancer or a founder - as soon as you do business, you need an address that you can use:

• In the imprint of your website (required by law)
• For invoices, contracts, letters from authorities
• Deposit at the tax office or trade office

This address is publicly visible - and that is precisely the problem.

2. these risks arise with unprotected addresses

If you use your private residential address as your business address, you open the door to:

• Advertising letters and spam from data traders
• Warning lawyers who exploit formal errors in the legal notice
• Unannounced visitors - from customers to creditors

🔍 Typical example:

A web designer enters her address in the legal notice - a short time later, she receives dozens of unwanted calls and mail from advertisers without ever having given her consent.

3. that's why your private address is not a good idea

Many self-employed people use their home address for convenience - but they underestimate the risks:

• You become easily identifiable and vulnerable
• You lose privacy - customers can suddenly be standing outside the door
• An imprint error can result in expensive warnings

A separate business address is essential if you want to appear professional.
