What is a virtual business address?

A virtual business address is something like an «invisible office». Instead of a physical office, you get office services from a service provider. At the same time, tenants of a virtual business address will receive a “call address” and present themselves to customers and business partners at the representative address.

What services does renting a company’s virtual address include?

• Telephone services, such as answering and forwarding calls;
• Postal services, such as receiving mail and physically or digitally forwarding mail;
• Customer support service;
• Reception of business partners. If you rent a virtual business address, in many cases you will have an office available when you need it. Without the need to constantly pay high fixed costs, you can flexibly cover the short-term need for a permanent workplace in a co-working space or a separate office. Some “landlords” also offer modern conference rooms and business rooms where you can host your business partners or clients.
• Business centers, co-working spaces or office service providers can optionally install a “mailbox” with your company name.
