A virtual address is a real street address that you can use for your business — even if you don’t rent an office. It gives your business a more professional presence while keeping your home address private. At The Pearl Works, our virtual addresses are tied to our Monterey coworking space, which means your business is rooted in a real, local community.
A virtual mailbox is a physical mailbox that you can access digitally. As a mailbox renter, you'll be notified, along with a picture, of each incoming mail item received at our mailroom. You can make requests to us as your mailbox operator on different ways of handling each mail piece.
For your business to establish a physical presence, you need a private mailing address. It's bank and government approved as most states do not allow a P.O. Box as your main business location. That means you would not be able to open a business bank account with a P.O. Box. A virtual mailbox includes an address from a physical office location with a real street address that can be used for almost all purposes, personal and business.
A mailbox may have multiple users with different access functionalities. As a mailbox manager, you can receive mail, make actions requests and manage account settings, including inviting more users to your mailbox.If your team will be receiving mail under their name as recipients, they can be invited as Mail Recipients. They can receive mail and submit action requests too, but can’t invite other users or manage account settings. Mail pick up staff are only authorized to pick up mail on your behalf but cannot receive mail and do not have access to your mailbox account.We allow 2 people on the account, if you want additional people on the plan it is $10 per person per month.
