What is a Virtual Office?

Virtual Office ProviderHope this will answer some of your enquiries. I understand that some people may not know what Virtual Office Solution is for.

For a start, the Main Purpose of getting a virtual office provider is:

  • To "rent" their business address as your own.

With this business address, you can use it as a registered business address when you register with ACRA (Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority), formerly known as Registry of Companies & Businesses. You can use it for the followings:

  • Put it in your name cards, letterheads, rubber stamps, envelopes, mailings, greeting cards, etc.
  • Open a bank account, apply for government grants, etc.
  • Apply for your telephone line
  • Use on any official documentations.

Virtual Office Services is a cost effective solution for your business. We offer the following services and facilities:

  • Registered Business Address
  • Mail Forwarding
  • Fax-to-Email Forwarding
  • Dedicated Phone line
  • Office suites
  • Meeting room
  • Print / Copy facilities
  • Visitor lounge
  • Pantry

In Singapore, it is illegally to operate a business without registration with ACRA. And to register with ACRA, it is required to have a place of business, preferably a commercial address although you may use your residential address which is subjected to approval by the relevant authority.

Our Virtual Office solution provides the option for full office facilities according to your requirement. Office suite and meeting room can be rented on hourly basis. Our well furnished office will definitely project a good corporate image for your business, and also functional at the same time.

With a registered business address, you can use it for ACRA registration and used it on their name cards, letterheads, etc. It can also be used to open bank accounts and official correspondence.

For Mail forwarding, we will mail it to your stated address on a daily basis. Mail can also be collected from our office during working hours at your convenience. Should there be registered mails or packages, these can be received and re-directed to your home for a small handling fee.
