Add-ons you might need
Virtual business address
In case you don't own property or cannot obtain a proof of business address from your landlord you can opt for a virtual business address. This is a legal and common option, especially for freelancers or foreign entrepreneurs. We provide the required landlord’s consent and handle your official mail, making it easy to meet the registration requirements without a physical office.
