What is a virtual office?

A virtual office is an address that businesses can use in a similar way to a traditional office. The key difference is that the office is virtual, meaning it’s not a physical location for businesses to work from or visit. Businesses will be provided with a unique virtual address to use instead of their office location, and through our online mail management platform, they’ll be able to read and manage any of the post sent to their business.

What can you use your virtual office address for?

Businesses utilise virtual offices for many different purposes and processes. It’s up to you which features and services you take advantage of, but as a general rule you can use your virtual office in the same way you would a physical office (minus the physical space and costs!). Some of the ways companies are using virtual offices are for:

Business address needs

Use your virtual office address as your registered office, business trading, directors’ service and business correspondence address.
