There are several good reasons why an individual, a business startup, or a growing company might want to have a virtual mail address.

Safety and Security

Business addresses are important both from a peace of mind and a location point of view. If you have a home-based business, but would rather not give out your home address to strangers, you can’t be too careful as your family’s safety is of utmost importance. Identity theft is also another security issue to consider. If junk mail or a large parcel is delivered, these items can cause your post box to be overflowing, leaving sensitive personal information available to thieves.

Professional Image

Another reason to consider a virtual mail address is one of professional image: A virtual Gloucester postal address can add trust and validity to your business, and once again give reassurance to your client base that they are using the services of a professional company.

Suppose your business is an overseas operation or you don’t live in the county of Gloucestershire or the city of Gloucester but want to do business in the area. In that case, having a virtual mail address allows you the presence that customers find reassuring.

Virtual Mail Addresses are not a P.O. Box. You may like the security of a P.O. Box, but courier companies such as DHL are not allowed to deliver to P.O. boxes. Having a virtual mail address solves that problem. A company like No1 Business Centre, Gloucester, with virtual mail services, can forward your packages to your home address, or you can pick them up from our building if you live locally.

Guaranteed signed for and presence on site

Convenience is another reason for choosing a virtual mail address service. Are you always missing the Royal Mail or courier company when they deliver to your home address, as you are always on business? Do you hate driving all the way out to the Royal Mail Postal or Courier Depot to pick up packages or envelopes that require a signature, as you can’t be home when they deliver. We can sign for your packages and secure them and either forward to you at a time of your choosing or you can collect them at a time that suits you during working hours. We will let you know when a parcel has arrived by email.

If you are travelling or on the move with your business, we make your mail follow you wherever you are in the UK, Europe or the rest of the world. Our virtual mail address service allows you to have your mail opened, remove any advertising and then scanned and sent to your email address.
