Give option of removing addresses from Companies House if it's a home address.
I would like Self-Employed people and Limited Companies the option of removing an address from Companies House if it's their home address. Currently you can add an accountants address which can come at a cost and people can still find the home address you originally registered with if they want to.
Having the home address of someone readily available online compromises the safety of business founders (particularly females and marginalized groups). I have spoken to many founders who have experienced inappropriate messages and obscene calls and feel that having their home address readily available online is causing them stress.
