Virtual Office
A service that provides a business with a physical address and office-related services without the overhead of a long-term lease and administrative staff.
Virtual offices are popular among digital nomads and international founders. They provide a prestigious business address for company registration, mail forwarding, and sometimes meeting room access. However, a virtual office is different from a registered agent, though some providers offer both services.
