What is a virtual office in simple terms?

A shared, fully furnished and staffed office that members use as their official business address for SEC, BIR, DTI, LGU and bank registration, and on their website and business cards. Receptionists receive members' mail and parcels, answer calls in their business name and welcome their guests, and members can book meeting rooms.

What can I use a virtual office for in the Philippines?

To incorporate with the SEC or register with the DTI, register for VAT with the BIR, receive mail and calls, meet clients, and publish a business address without revealing your home address. Virtual office costs can also be claimed as a business expense.
