Why does your business need a virtual address?

 

It can give a great impression.

Have you ever looked at a small business online and they have a great location in a major city centre? This is because they have a virtual address, but you still get to work from the comfort of your own home. 

 

Need a UK office, but live abroad?

One of the luxuries of running your own business is being able to work from anywhere in the world. But if you want to launch within the UK, you require a UK-based address, leaving you with two options: 

Renting UK premises, or

A virtual office address,

Which in comparison is a minimal expenditure.

 

It gives you your privacy.

When registering your business, your address goes to a multitude of places, including HMRC, Companies House, your website, stationary, Google, and more. It becomes the public domain, this is fine if you have a public trading address, but when running a business from home, having your address in so many places should be avoided. 

Having a virtual address means that this is the address that appears on all of these, leaving your home, property, and inventory safe from prying eyes. 

 

Cost-effective

If you were thinking of any of the above but your mind had gone to look for a public trading office, the costs each month can be costly. A virtual office allows for these costs to be reduced as there are no daily admin and maintenance costs to running a physical office and will allow you to split the costs with other virtual address users. 

 

Other benefits

Having a virtual office will allow you to make use of these other benefits:

- A place to receive mail

- SEO geolocation 

- Trusted address
