Virginia Business Address
A Virginia business address is a physical address that you can use anywhere on your business formation documents where an address is required. In Virginia, the business formation documents that you file with the Virginia Secretary of Commonwealth are public filings, so the addresses you list become part of the public record. If you work remotely or don’t have a commercial office just yet, it’s a good idea to choose a business address that:
- projects a professional business image
- protects your personal information
Instead of using your personal addresses, you can use our Virginia business address for FREE when you sign up for our services. We are the only local registered agent service that can offer you our legal, permanent professional business address as part of your service at no extra cost.

Why Do I Need a Virginia Business Address?
In Virginia, business formation documents often require you to list either your principal office address or director’s addresses. For instance, when you start a new Virginia LLC, you’ll need to include a principal office address. Similarly, forming a corporation in Virginia requires listing the addresses of initial directors on your formation documents (the principal office address is optional). This might seem simple enough for most—just list your office or personal address and move on, right? Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. You are agreeing to more than you realize. There are several heavy implications when you put your office or personal addresses on your formation paperwork:
- Your formation documents are publicly available online for any client or random person to find
- You can look forward to getting a bevy of junk mail for years to come
- You will have to update your documents every time you move (costing you time and money)
For a number of reasons, listing any of your own addresses on your formation paperwork isn’t ideal. That’s where our Virginia business address comes into play. As your Virginia registered agent, we do more than just scan your mail—we help you better maintain your privacy and a stable business appearance by listing our address instead of yours.
Reasons to Use Our Virginia Business Address
We’re an experienced local Virginia registered agent service. Our permanent address assures you of a stable and reliable business address, and we can offer you several key advantages:
- Privacy. Don’t let your personal or office addresses end up on the Virginia Secretary of State website for all the world to see, including scammers and marketers. If you hire us to form your business, we list our address on your documents as your Virginia business address.
- No address change hassle when you move. Trust us—there is no streamlined process for a business address change.

- Credibility. Create a great first impression and maintain the appearance of professionalism with our Virginia business address. Often, a personal address can give the appearance of an amateur business. This is especially useful if you run your business from a residential address!
- Lease or Homeowner Association rules. You may not be allowed to use your home address as a business address.
- Permanence. Establish a lasting presence by using our Virginia business address indefinitely. When you change business addresses often, it will be reflected to the public on the Secretary of State website.
- Zoning restrictions. Your city municipality also may not allow businesses to list their home addresses as a business office.
- Liability issues. There is potential for “piercing the corporate veil,” which makes you personally liable for business debts, if you use your personal address as your business address. In order for liability protection to be permissible, you must keep your personal and business activities separate.
