What's the purpose of a PO box?​

​

• A PO box is a physical address that can be used to receive mail. It's useful for people who want to keep their home address private, or for businesses that want to have a mailing address separate from their physical location. PO boxes can be rented from the post office, and they can be located in different cities or states from where the renter lives or works.

​

• This can be helpful for home based businesses that want to avoid giving out their home address, or for businesses that have employees in multiple states or countries. PO boxes are also convenient if you travel frequently and need a reliable way to receive mail while you're on the road.

​

​

Is a virtual mailbox better than a PO Box?

​

• A virtual mailing service gives you more services than you would with a traditional PO box. With a virtual mailbox at a virtual office, you can have your mail sent to a secure and professional location, where it will be processed and scanned-in for you. You will also be notified via email each time mail has arrived for you. 

​

• With a virtual mailbox, you can access your mail contents from anywhere in the world, while a PO box is limited to certain locations. Additionally, a virtual mailbox can be managed online, or by a simple phone call to the provider, whereas you must go to the post office to access your PO box.

​

​

Can you register your business with a PO Box address?

​

• The vast majority of states do not allow LLCs, corporations, or partnerships to be formed using a PO box. A physical street address is required for a registered company address. We recommend utilizing a virtual address for your registered address and mail if you don't have an office space and don't want to use your home address.

​

​

Can I use a virtual mailbox for my LLC?
