What a Virtual Office Is - And Who Actually Needs One

When you register a business in Australia, the paperwork asks a deceptively simple question: what's your business address? For a lot of people working from home, every honest answer is a bad one.

Put your home address on your ABN and ASIC registrations and it goes on the public record - searchable by anyone, forever attached to your company. If you're renting, it also changes every time you move. If you've just arrived in the country, you might not have a stable address at all yet.

What a virtual office actually is

A virtual office gives your business a real street address at one of our locations - without renting a desk or an office. You can use it:

• As your registered address for ABN and ASIC purposes
• On your website, invoices and business cards, where a real commercial address reads considerably better than a unit number in a residential block

That's the product. No desk required - though plenty of virtual office holders end up at one of ours eventually.

Who it's for

Home-based businesses that don't want their home on the public record. Freelancers and consultants who want a professional footprint. New arrivals starting something before they've settled somewhere permanent. Small companies that outgrew the founder's spare room address but not the spare room.

What it isn't

We'd rather be straight about the limits: a virtual office isn't a staffed reception, and it isn't a substitute for the registered-office obligations your accountant may advise for more complex structures - ask them what your setup needs.
