Virtual Office Georgia LLC
Your Guide to Georgia Virtual Office Service
What’s a Virtual Office Address?
A virtual office address sounds like a location on the internet. Actually, a virtual address is a physical street address that business owners who don’t need or don’t want to pay for a traditional office lease can use to give their company a professional business address without having to invest in a brick-and-mortar space.
For example, if you’re a freelancer who sometimes works from home, sometimes works at a coffee shop, and sometimes travels to meet clients, you don’t have a set office location. However, you may still want a permanent, commercial business address on your company formation paperwork.
Having a business address in the busy business hub of Atlanta lends your company legitimacy and protects your your privacy by keeping your home address off the public record.
Don’t Overpay for Virtual Office Service:
Virtual office service is supposed to help businesses save money. However, if you look around at some other virtual office service providers, you’ll find that many of them are charging way too much.
At Virtual Office Georgia LLC, we give you a professional business address with a unique suite number, so your address is specific to your business, unlimited mail scanning, and a business phone line for just $15 a month.
But there are other Virtual Office services that charge more than six times our price every month and then give you a generic business address that is shared with all the companies using their service.
We’re here to provide you with real value and help you actually save money.

Georgia Virtual Office Vs Registered Agent
What’s the Difference?
There can be some confusion about the difference between a virtual office and a registered agent. However, there are key differences between the two.
Virtual Office:
A virtual office provides you with a professional business address in Atlanta that you can use on business registration filings. Depending on the service, this address can be specific to your business or shared with other businesses (our service give you a unique address).
Virtual office services also generally offer mail management so you can use your virtual address as your business mailing address. Additional services offered by some virtual office providers include phone service and room rental.
Registered Agent:
A registered agent is a person or company that you appoint to be responsible for receiving legal documents and other notices from the state. Having a Georgia registered agent is legally required when you form a company or foreign register to do business in Georgia.
You must list an address for your registered agent on your business registration paperwork. Your registered agent address is separate from your principal office address because it’s where your registered agent is physically located. Some registered agents, like us, also provide clients with a complimentary business address that they can use on business registration documents.
Virtual Office Versus Registered Agent:
The difference between the business address you get with Virtual Office Service and Registered Agent Service is that your virtual office service address includes a unique suite number that is specific to your business. You also get additional unlimited mail scanning and phone service with Virtual Office.
Virtual Office PLUS Registered Agent:
Many new business owners get a virtual office service to protect their privacy by using the virtual office address as their principal office address instead of listing their home address. However, some new business owners make the mistake of choosing to serve as their own registered agent, which means listing their home address as their registered agent address. What they don’t realize is that all the information on their business formation paperwork goes on the state record, not just their principal office address.
To truly protect your privacy as a home-based business owner, an entrepreneur or freelancer with no set office space, or digital nomad, you need Registered Agent Service so that you can keep your home address private. And to get an address that’s unique to your business and the ability to view your mail from wherever you are, you need Virtual Office Service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a virtual office address to register my LLC in GA?
You can use a virtual office address to register any business in Georgia. Simply list your Virtual Office address as your principal office mailing address on your formation or foreign business registration paperwork.
Can my virtual office address be my registered agent address?
You can’t use your virtual office address as your registered agent address (and then act as your own registered agent), because you must be physically present at that location to accept legal documents. Otherwise, these documents will not be delivered.
