If you are looking for a new business registration address for your company, Easystart Office offers you all the services you are looking for. Registering your business with a professional third party has many benefits for you as a company owner, such as a larger sense of professionalism, a better company image, more privacy and a much clearer separation between your work and private life. Our addresses can be used as registration addresses for the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, but you can also opt for a so-called ‘virtual office’ address, which is basically a postal address to use for your company. Keep in mind, that it is not possible to register your company in the Dutch trade register with solely a postal address: you will need a business registration address. Easystart Office can offer you an address starting at EUR 69 monthly, with a flexible subscription that allows you to cancel whenever you want. Take a look at our services and packages for more detailed information about what we offer.
Can you register a company at a virtual office address? The answer, unfortunately, is no. If you want to officially register your Dutch company in the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce, you will need a business registration address that is compliant with all necessary laws and regulations. Many people choose to use a PO box address for business correspondence, but this is also not a valid registration address. You may have heard about foreign companies with a postal address in the Netherlands. For these companies, there are many advantages to owning a PO box. But even if you reside in the Netherlands, registering your company can have advantages. These advantages are especially interesting from a tax point of view, as opposed to solely owning a postal address.
Let's start at the beginning. What exactly is a virtual office address? When you rent a virtual office address, you rent a PO box. Customers and suppliers can then send all their mail to this postal address. This PO box is managed by the company where you pay rent for the PO box. How you can view and receive your mail differs per company. For example, some companies offer to email the mail to you in PDF format. Other companies only receive your mail and forward it to you, which obviously takes longer. In a number of cases, you also have the option of renting an office space or a meeting room for certain days in addition to the postal business address. This way, you can convert your virtual office address into a virtual office. Nonetheless, this address is still not eligible for official registration.
A virtual address can no longer be used as a business address for registering with the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce checks all registrations from time to time, in order to make sure every company complies with its regulations regarding the service. Even if you are registered at a multi-company building, but your rental contract shows that you are at the office for less than 40 hours a week, you will have to change your business address. If not, your company will be removed from the trade register. You therefore have to register your company at the address where business activities are performed, i.e., where you carry out your activities. So there is a strong chance that, as a starting entrepreneur, you will have to register your company at your home address, or with a reputable partner such as Easystart Office. Our offices offer 24/7 access, which makes it easy for you to comply with this regulation. In some cases, it may be possible to register first at your home address and later change this to an external business registration address.
A PO box address is more professional than a home address. Nowadays, more and more people search the internet before they start working with a company, which prevents a large mail pile. However, if you expect a lot of mail, a virtual office address is very useful because the mail is sorted by someone else, which saves you time. If you are often abroad, you can choose to receive the mail in PDF format. For example, you can read your physical mail on your laptop or smartphone. In addition to a virtual office address, you can often also receive all kinds of other services, such as a local telephone number, a reception, an office space or a meeting room. So if you are away from the Netherlands for weeks or months, expect to receive a lot of mail, and value privacy, a virtual mailbox could be the right solution for you.
We can offer you plenty of services that make your daily activities much easier.
