Virginia Business Address

The Virginia business address you list on your business formation documents becomes part of the public record. So unless you’re a fan of junk mail and aren’t concerned about privacy, you should think twice before putting your personal address on these forms.

When you hire us as your registered agent for just $49 per year, you can use our business address on your formation documents in all address fields. We can offer this because we’re a local registered agent service and own our building in Richmond.

If you’re looking for a unique Virginia business address for all your mail forwarding needs, we also offer Premium Mail Forwarding and Virtual Office packages.

Unlike many registered agent services who just rent an office space in Virginia, we own our Richmond building and have a full-time, local staff.

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. Trust us—there is no streamlined process for a business address change. You’ll have to update your address with several different agencies every time you move, and it is a time-intensive task. We’re local registered agents and we own our building, so our business address is stable and secure.
• 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.

Can My Virginia Company Use a Virtual Address?

You must use a physical Virginia address on your business formation documents submitted to the Virginia Secretary of State.
