Rent a postal address as a business address for your company headquarters
A company address says a lot about your business and is a factor in attracting the customers you want. The address is one of the first clues that customers use to decide whether to buy from you or ask for cooperation.
The business address does not necessarily have to be the place where you work. From a legal point of view, it is unobjectionable as long as a "summonable address" is given and the mail is reliably received.
The importance of the business address is often underestimated. This address must be stated on all public and official documents, and it determines where we pay taxes or to which funding programmes we have access.
In addition to the legal significance, there is also an emotional significance that should not be underestimated. It is just like the place of residence, everyone associates attributes with it and assigns them to a person or a company.
Commercial space obligation, necessity, usefulness
The business address is visible on countless documents and is also publicly listed. Starting with the imprint of your own website and also on every invoice to your customers, this address must be mentioned. For entry in the trade or commercial register, you need an address on a business premises. Private residential addresses and post office boxes are only suitable to a limited extent, are quickly exposed and look dubious. Moreover, no one wants to argue with the landlord, who can give you notice and forbid you to write the company name on the doorbell.
Especially for freelancers who work in a home office or travel a lot, it is advisable to rent an external address. It ensures privacy and protects against unexpected visits. In addition, when you move, you don't have to change your address with the notary and all kinds of offices. For people who wish to work abroad, it is also advisable to rent an address; all physical mail is reliably scanned, digitally forwarded and stored.
If you do not have a permanent residence in Germany, a rented business address can also help. To register a business or enter it in the commercial register, you first need a German business address.
