(Nothing wrong with a good ol’ pub, of course). We offer a prestigious Virtual Office Spaces in Belfast’s City Centre – within established and professional premises.
Limited companies are required to nominate a registered office address for their business. This address is used for all official correspondence from HMRC. The registered office address can be different from your trading address, but many customers want to keep both the same for consistency. It’s still possible to use our Belfast premises as your Registered Address, there is just an additional £7.50 per month charge for this facility.

We often get asked, how much will the mail forwarding charges be? Our Belfast Virtual Office is available with Mail Forwarding or Mail Collection, it just depends which option suits your needs. Collection is free, and there is no fixed fee for our Belfast mail forwarding service, rather, it is calculated on a per item basis. As such, it is difficult to give an estimate as to how much this part of the service will cost – as it is wholly dependent on the amount of mail you receive!
There are some providers who forward your mail for free – this is not advisable, as many of the ‘free mail forwarding’ providers simply cross out the incoming address and add your forwarding address to the same envelope (Royal Mail does make allowances for this, for low volume, domestic post). This is a.) an abuse of the system and 2.) does not guarantee mail will get to you if it’s flagged.
We can forward your mail anywhere in the world, and our prices are competitive – we simply cover our costs. You will pay Royal Mail Franked Rates, plus 20% for any mail forwarded. You mail goes into a new envelope with your forwarding address clearly printed and is sent out first class.
It is crucial that your Belfast Virtual Office feels real to potential customers. So, for our customers, it’s important for them to know they can meet clients at their chosen location when needed. Our Belfast Virtual Office premises offers a meeting room and an array of other facilities.
Meeting rooms can be hired by the hour, half day and full day, and the rates can be found at the bottom of their respective pages on our website.
