What is a PO Box?

A PO Box address allows you to keep a separate mailing address away from your home address or even provide an address if you do not have a permanent home address. It can be used for all sorts of reasons, personal correspondence, keeping an address in the UK after moving abroad, an address for all your business requirements, and much more. PO Boxes, however, come with limitations. Many institutions, banks, governments and such will not accept a PO Box as your mailing address for personal or business uses. OfficeServ provides a solution to this with our Virtual Office service starting from just £9 per month.

How does a PO Box work?

OfficeServ’s Virtual PO Box services work just like any other PO Box service but without the limitations that normally come with a standard PO Box. You can use the address we provide for all your mailing requirements, both personal and business, providing the same reliable, confidential service to all. We provide a real UK street address that you can receive all your mail and parcels at, yes parcels too! Everything is processed, sorted and forwarded to you the same working day it arrives. If you don’t wish for it to be forwarded, we can safely hold it at our offices, so you can collect or have everything forwarded together later.

Unlimited Virtual PO Box Address

Unlike other providers, there are no limits to the amount of mail you can receive at your new OfficeServ virtual address. No per item charges or handling fees, and unlimited letters and parcels are all included. If items are forwarded to your confidential forwarding address, you only pay the cost of any outgoing postage. We also don’t charge extra on top of this, and we pass on our commercial discounts!

Unlimited Packages & Parcels

Our Virtual PO Box Service allows you to receive packages and parcels without a problem. Need an address for customer returns, or having items shipped to before sending everything internationally, or just a confidential parcel address? OfficeServ have you covered.

Unlimited Scanning & Emailing Of Letters

Would you like all your letters to be opened, scanned and emailed directly to your inbox the same working day they arrive? No problem, OfficeServ provides a complete scan and email service. Not only is this unlimited, but there are also no per letter or page fees. Everything scanned is processed for OCR (Optical Character Recognition), meaning the PDF of your mail is fully searchable. So when you need to find that letter about your car insurance renewal, it’s easy! Just open up the folder with all your mail scans inside, hit search, enter “insurance” or maybe your car registration and every letter that contains those terms will be listed.

Royal Mail PO Box Comparison

Royal Mail’s PO Box services are far from reasonably priced, starting at £36.00 a month with a minimum contract of three months for collection only. With OfficeServ’s Virtual Service starting from as little as £9.00 per month, we provide a great alternative option, with more features and better comprehensive service, including being able to speak with a real person at our address location about your mail and account.

Virtual Office Services provided by OfficeServ can includes some of the following benefits:

Physical Street Address

A physical commercial address for your business, great for portraying an established business image with potential customers.

Use it For Anything

The address can be used for websites and online sale channels, business cards, promotional printing, letter heads and invoicing, plus loads more.

Mail Handling

Commercial Delivery Processing

A location for pallet and larger freight deliveries to take place, with forklift services available.

Why use a virtual office?

For entrepreneurs who have been building their business from home, a Virtual Office can serve as that first step towards getting established in a physical space – but without the commitment of renting an actual desk or room in an office building.

It also provides a great peace of mind your private home address stays just that, private. One big step in starting a new business from home, is suddenly facing the possibility you will need to publicly provide the location of your business online. You wouldn’t make your full home address public on say your social media accounts, maybe not even if your profile is private. So why would you want to advertise your home address publicly to the world. For a small monthly cost you can avoid this right from the start with a Virtual Office Service from OfficeServ.

Similarly, if you’re already working in an office but are finding it to be too much of a strain on your overheads, or your now thinking of working from home full time (We all know that start-ups businesses and even big companies have to use their financial resources carefully). A Virtual Office could be a great solution for you and your business to not only save, but grow!

Professionalism

One of the key benefits of renting a virtual office is that in doing so gives your business a greater degree of professionalism.

Having a business address (rather than simply your home address), a business phone number (rather than your mobile or home number), and a professional space in which to meet with clients (rather than your home or your local cafe) gives the impression that your small business is professional, well-established and, ultimately, trustworthy.

Office Serv

Cost & Savings

A great advantage of the Virtual Office is that it costs much less than leasing physical office space, office space that potentially is not required at all. One massive saving that is quite often overlooked is the fact it’s not just an address your paying for, it’s an address that is occupied and staffed during business hours every day! Meaning signed for packages get signed for, customers can visit and check you can be contacted at the location, and meetings can take place there. In some cases reception staff can even greet your clients when they attend meetings etc. These are all things provided for what might cost you as little as £10 per month!

Office Equipment & Services

Virtual Offices can provide office equipment and other services, included in packages or charged as extras. This can sometime be very handy, for example if you have large documents that need printing or a bulk mail shot to send out. Virtual Offices are normally equipped with commercial printing and scanning devices, plus facilities that are able to handle and process large quantities of mail.

OfficeServ can provide some of the following services on request:
High volume document scanning and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing.
Bulk mail sending and volume discounts on Royal Mail pricing.
Printing and copying services.
Discounted priority international shipping services.

Office Serv

Flexibility

Normally Virtual Office Services are paid monthly, an most services providers do this on a monthly rolling contract, meaning you can cancel anytime. OfficeServ provide both monthly pricing and discounts for committing and paying yearly. It is possible to switch to yearly billing at any time, this is great to test our services out and then decide to commit and save once you know OfficeServ is the right choice and most of all that a Virtual Office works well for your business.

Summary

To conclude, if your business is suitable to function using a Virtual Office Service for most of the reasons you would potentially need any physical office space, it’s an all-round winner. Saving your business money and extensive commitments. Instead providing great flexibility, services and equipment at brilliant value, all while portraying the professional image a dedicated business location provides.
