USES OF THE VIRTUAL ADDRESS

VIRTUAL ADDRESS

A virtual address can be very useful in a variety of scenarios. It can shield your personal information, sort and store important mail, and best of all, there’s no way you can lose the mail received here (this is especially helpful for those of us who lose our keys—oops!).

What Is a Virtual Address?

A virtual address is a physical address that will receive company mail on your behalf. The mail is sorted, spam is discarded, and only important mail is uploaded to your platform after being scanned. This way, you won’t have to worry about where your mail is—it will always be in the same place for you to view or dispose of whenever you wish.

How Can a Virtual Address Shield Me?

Company information is often listed publicly on the Secretary of State’s website, which means that anyone—including your arch-nemesis—can easily look up your details. If you operate a business from home, such as an e-commerce business, and your state requires a company address for registration, you may have to provide your home address. This could expose your personal address to the public. But you’re smart and informed, so you’ll use a virtual address, which will shield your personal information. Take that, arch-nemesis! Your home is safe from being egged, and you and your family are safe.

I’m Living Outside of the United States, Is a Virtual Address Right for Me?

Yes! Some states require the company address to be within the United States. But don’t pack your bags just yet—you don’t have to live in the U.S. to own a company there. You can use a virtual address to meet state requirements and receive your mail, no matter where you are.

What Was That About People Who Lose Their Keys?

Keeping track of important documents among all the mail you receive can sometimes get complicated, especially if you have a lot going on. A virtual address solves this problem. All important mail is scanned and uploaded to your platform, keeping everything organized and accessible at all times.

IMPORTANT

A virtual address is not an office space for conducting meetings or operations. It’s simply a mail reception and scanning service with a physical location. It’s not a PO box, and most states accept virtual addresses. Service features may vary slightly between providers.

You call the shots—review if this is the best option for you and make the call. Best of luck with your business ventures. Happy business building!
