How does a Virtual Office Benefit Businesses?
With a virtual Office, you can use the address for your company's correspondence and have mail and packages received on your behalf.

You can also use the address for business registration purposes with HMRC.

How does Mail Forwarding work?
When you sign up for our virtual office services, you receive a prestigious business address where all your mail will be received. Once we receive any mail addressed to your business at this address, our dedicated team springs into action. They carefully sort through your mail and then forward it to an address of your choice. It could be your home address or another location – whatever works best for you.
Instead of simply redirecting your mail, we take the extra step of placing it in new envelopes and paying postage costs on your behalf. Redirecting mail to save costs is not a reliable option and may be viewed as an abuse of Royal Mail. There is no guarantee that the mail will be delivered to you. Instead, opt for our fixed monthly fee service to take care of all your mail. In addition to receiving and forwarding traditional mail, we also offer digital mail scanning services. This means that instead of physically forwarding your mail, we can scan and email
How Quickly will my Mail be Processed?
We strive to ensure promptness! The majority of received mail is dispatched on the same day via first class to expedite delivery.
What about Mail Scanning?
When mail arrives at our offices, our team carefully scans each letter and emails it to your designated email address just like an employee. This means no more waiting for physical mail to be forwarded or missing important documents. With our mail scanning service, you'll have instant access to your mail, allowing you to stay organised and in control.
Will my Mail and Packages be Secure?
Absolutely! We take the security of your mail and packages seriously. We have stringent measures in place to ensure the safe handling and storage of your items. We take care of your mail and keep it safe until you're ready to pick it up or have it sent to you.
Will you alert me when I have mail to collect?
Yes, we offer a mail alert service as part of our virtual office package. Whenever you receive mail at your virtual office address, we will promptly notify you via email. .
