Virtual Addresses
What is a Virtual Office Address?
An address that belongs to a company who have in place the appropriate processes and compliance measures that allow other companies to use it as though it were their own.
What are the benefits of a Virtual Office Address?
Virtual Office Addresses provide many of the benefits of having a physical office at only a tiny fraction of the cost!
- Your company appears to have a premises rather than just operating from home giving your clients the impression you’re a larger organisation.
- Google (and other search engines) use your address as part of their search algorithms. If someone in Norwich searches for a tradesman and you live in another town or rural location, even if you state on your page that you cover Norwich, the algorithms will rate you below someone whose trading address is more local.
- Give your business a ‘presence’ in a second location. For example, if you’re based in Cambridge but wanted to target the Norwich market you can use our address to be close to your target clients. Set your Google My Business address to ours and be found in Norwich on Google Searches. (Currently, we have addresses available in Norwich and Great Yarmouth but hope soon to have many more locations – in the meantime, please contact us for details of our virtual office partners who cover much of the UK.)
Why choose Delocate for your Virtual Address?
- We can handle your mail for you. The last thing you want to worry about is whether you’ve had some important mail turn up and not know about it. Many establishments that offer a virtual address service simply hold onto your mail until you come and pick it up and most don’t even let you know you some has arrived!
We’re all about making your life easier so we’ll send all your mail to you. We can do this either ‘physically’ (Royal Mail 2nd Class, typically) or scan and email it where possible. (We can either do this in a ‘batch’ (one PDF of all items received in one file) or each item as a separate PDF with a useful filename with ISO date format (yyyy.mm.dd – From – Subject) - We take the fact that you (potentially sensitive) information is passing across our desks extremely seriously. We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), with HMRC’s Anti-Money Laundering (AML) supervision scheme, and are DBS checked. With us, you can rest assured that your information is in safe hands.
- We offer coworking and meeting room services at the same address (in Norwich), so you really can work at ‘your’ address.
- We partner with CircleLoop to offer a comprehensive telephone service so not only can you get yourself a Norwich or Great Yarmouth address, you can have a phone number to match.
- We are a business centric company – we know what makes a business tick and offer a range of services to help our clients build their business and achieve their goals so please do check out some of our other services.
What are the different types of Virtual (Office) Address?
Broadly speaking there are four types of address that a business and its owner(s) might require. You can read all about that in this post we wrote if you’re interested, but we, like most Virtual Address operators, split the four into just two; ‘Trading’ & ‘Registered’.
