If you’re running a business from home or if your startup simply can’t afford office space at the moment, you may want to consider using a virtual office. You can avoid getting locked into an expensive lease on office space and keep your home address separate from your business address. Many virtual office services can come complete with a unique business address, a business fax number and business phone number which is answered by an actual human secretary. Some will even scan and email you all of the mail received at your virtual office address.
However, not all virtual office services are adequate for building business credit. Some may only provide a shared address which is not unique to any one business. This is why we suggest virtual office services like Davinci Virtual and Opus Virtual Offices.
Another common mistake is using a post office box as your business address while attempting to build business credit. If you don't have an office or storefront and you need a business address, we suggest using a virtual office that offers everything you need.
