a business owner doing work remotely

Let’s explore the best virtual address for businesses without a brick-and-mortar.

Running your own business means embracing innovation. But managing snail mail can feel like a chore stuck in the past. Enter: the virtual mailbox service. It’s a game-changer for busy entrepreneurs. 

Here at VIDA Coworking, we’ve crafted the perfect solution to streamline your mail handling, boost your professionalism and free up valuable time. Plus, our business address service is offered to anyone in the US, whether you’re a Member of our coworking space or not. 

What is a Virtual Mailbox?

A virtual mailbox is a reliable, safe and secure service that provides you with a physical street address for receiving mail and packages. Instead of using a P.O. Box or your home address, for example, your mail is delivered to a secure facility where it’s scanned and made accessible to you online. Or, your mail may be received, packaged and shipped to you, no matter where you are in the world. 

Key Features of a Virtual Mailbox:

  • Mail Receipt: Your mail will be securely accepted and held for you.
  • Physical Address: You receive a real street address for your business or personal use.
  • Mail Scanning Service: Your incoming mail is scanned and digitized, allowing you to access it from anywhere.
  • Online Access: You can view, manage and forward your mail through a secure online portal or mobile app.
  • Mail Forwarding Services: If you prefer your mail remain unopened, it can be packaged and shipped to the address of your choosing – anywhere in the world. 
  • Package Handling: You can receive packages from all major carriers, including FedEx, UPS and USPS.
  • No Long-Term Contracts: We offer flexible, month-to-month plans with no long-term commitments.

Benefits of Using a Virtual Mailbox:

  • Security: No more porch pirates! Your mail and packages are safe and secure in our mail center.
  • Convenience: Manage your mail from anywhere, anytime.
  • Privacy: Protect your personal address from public records.
  • Efficiency: Streamline your mail handling process.
  • Professionalism: Establish a professional business address.
  • Flexibility: Ideal for remote workers, travelers and small businesses.

Who Benefits Most from a Virtual Mailbox?

  • Small Businesses: Establish a professional office presence without expensive office leases.
  • Freelancers & Entrepreneurs: Maintain privacy and project professionalism without revealing your home address.
  • Remote Workers: Efficiently manage mail and packages, even if your office is your living room.
  • Travelers & Expats: Never miss important mail while exploring the world – we’ll forward it securely.

Why Small Business Owners Need a Virtual Mailbox

The US Small Business Administration (SBA) suggests that a whopping 19 million small businesses operate out of the home. For many of those businesses, there’s so much to be gained by having your own physical mailing address. 

  • Business Registry Compliance: State law typically requires a physical business address for registration. A PO Box screams “unprofessional” and won’t cut it. Using your home address compromises privacy. A VIDA virtual mailbox offers a prestigious Portland address for a professional image.
  • Privacy Matters: Keep your home address safe from public records and prying eyes. A dedicated business address separates your work life and personal life.
  • Flexibility for the Modern Business: Work from anywhere! Manage businesses’ mail and packages seamlessly, even when you’re out of town.
