I own a business and when I do a google search on myself, my business corporation name comes up with my home address on the Corporation Division website and also this website called Opencorporates. I contacted Opencorporates by email, but they said its public data and will not erase the information. I guess dont mind being on their website, but just dont want it to come up when I do a google search on my name. Is it possible to contact google from preventing this from coming up on the first page when I search my name? Any suggestions?
You need to figure out how to change the name and/or address associated with your corporation that web sites get from the state. Some options that might be available, depending on how your state handles such things:
- Rent a PO box and have mail for the corp sent there. Presumably your search would then bring up the PO box address as well as the corp name if you do that.
- Pay a registered agent to receive mail for your corp and forward it to you. This could also dissociate your name from the corporation in some public records.
