FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Such an address is not a so-called “mailbox address”, but an officially recognized business address in a top location. It is ideal for:

• Scaling of your business and expansion – worldwide if desired – by opening further branches / locations for your company
• Use for marketing purposes (e.g. for location information on websites, print media), in particular to gain visibility on Google on page 1 and thus have an opportunity to acquire new customers at low cost
• Receipt and forwarding of your incoming mail, e.g. B. Letters and parcels (incl. digitization of the mail items and making them available in a digital post box)
• Use as an e-commerce return address

The postal/dependance address is based on a simple idea:

When something is dropped off or mail/parcels arrive, everything is accepted and registered by the post/dependance team. Our customers receive an email notification immediately and can then digitally decide how to handle the mailpiece by logging into their account via browser or app. There are various options available: You can scan your mail into a searchable PDF and have it entered into the system, then download it yourself with high-security encryption onto your own computer, make it available in a protected data room for your other locations, your own field service or external parties or/and have it physically forwarded to any address in the world. Alternatively, the option “have it shredded securely” (e.g. for advertising) can be selected. GoBD-compliant incoming mail archiving is also an option.

Post IN box

The PostINbox is the tool with which the entire incoming mail is digitally recorded, managed and made available to customers worldwide for retrieval. It is high security encrypted. The insecure e‑mail delivery of received mail is therefore a thing of the past.

At 67 out of 78 locations, it is already an integral part of a postal/dependance address as soon as it is booked. It can only be booked optionally and inexpensively for Berlin (Charlottenburg, Kurfürstendamm, Treptow), Düsseldorf, Hamburg (Hanse-Viertel, Eppendorf), Hanover, Cologne (old town, new town), Oldenburg and Stuttgart or for your own domicile.

Post OUT box

Using the PostOUTbox , every customer can send their physical mail just as easily as an email with just one click . It doesn’t matter whether it’s classic letters, registered mail, invoices, dialogue mail, etc. OUR CUSTOMERS create the mail items as usual (e.g. using their word processing program, invoice program, etc.) and print them out on one of our printers. WE fold, insert, frank your outgoing mail and send it to the post office just in time. Finished. And you can still save up to 40 % of the usual costs . As a special service, we offer to have texts written or proofread about us.

Unfortunately, this is not possible with a postal/dependance address alone – and depending on the country, could be considered illegal by the authorities.

To register, please use the business address and/or domicile address so that you can also apply for entry in a register (e.g. commercial register). As part of this design, you always receive a solution that covers the different legal requirements at the individual locations. You can easily book a business address or a home address during the checkout process.

First of all, select your desired city/region. A top location is then of crucial importance within the region, because this is where you represent your company. We therefore recommend “hands off” from low-cost providers in suboptimal locations or buildings.

Yes, this is ensured individually in the 78 locations – partly also electronically. Every visitor is informed here in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Yes, this is possible, but you can only receive one personal and/or business name per mailbox. From there you can then – via secure data rooms within a so-called file server – make the mail items (or all other files) available digitally to any desired recipient. You can then work together on the data in your own “environment”, because the names for each mailbox can be changed at any time. You can also rent several Postboxes and thus scale unlimitedly.

Every company should have a representative business address in a top location. Regardless of whether it is a start-up or an established company. It ideally complements a home office because your private address remains private. At the same time you increase your external impact and the image of your company immensely. The business address gives you clear competitive advantages.

An easily accessible business address in the best location also creates trust for your customers and business partners and conveys maximum seriousness.

It can also be the basis for expanding with additional postal/dependance addresses and scaling your business.

The head office is the headquarters of a company. The prerequisite for registering a company headquarters is the rental and corresponding use of a suitable domicile. That’s why we call it “domicile address” . This then finds z. B. Use when registering a business, when registering in the commercial register or when entering information in the imprint of the website. A domicile address is suitable for a company headquarters if it contains a summonsable business address, a telephone and fax number, as well as an unrestrictedly usable workplace with the possibility of storing documents securely there.

In principle, whenever a company is to be established at this address – i.e. founding a company headquarters – and the company is to be or must be entered in public registers (e.g. commercial register).

A company can have many branch or business addresses. In principle, however, there is only one company headquarters (a statutory headquarters and an administrative headquarters). In order for this to be recognized as such by the authorities, a domicile address is always required, which ensures the legal requirements of the respective country. Through AUXILIUM Virtual-Office24.com we ensure this for every office rented through us at every location.

Since 2008, it has been possible to distinguish and separate the registered office (the registered office in the articles of association) and the administrative headquarters (the place where business is conducted) for a GmbH or AG. In order for an administrative headquarters to be recognized as such, there must also be a permanent establishment there.

Put simply, a permanent establishment is a business address where business activities take place. It does not necessarily have to be specific premises, but simply a place where the company is active and where e.g. B. the business is conducted (typical business activities). The location of the business premises regulates which trade tax rate is to be applied.

The city/town in which the business premises are located is decisive for the trade tax rate. The company headquarters is therefore only relevant for trade tax if the administrative headquarters, i.e. a permanent establishment, is also maintained there.

No, a mailbox is not enough. If the entire company headquarters is to be relocated, a domicile address must be maintained there in accordance with the provisions of national law.

The company headquarters can be divided into statutory headquarters and administrative headquarters. No permanent establishment has to be maintained at the registered office, but it does at the administrative headquarters.

It depends on the implementation. Stay away from “cheap sellers” who will sell you a shell company. With us, a virtual office is always legal because it is officially recognized. With a virtual office, a business address or a domicile address, you create the conditions for yourself (and for your employees – e.g. in the home office) to be able to work from anywhere in the world. Nevertheless, you present yourself there – at top locations where you want to be present – in an optimal way. And that for little money.

Honestly? Something we don’t want anything to do with. This is usually a (bogus) company that often has no real working capital and is often founded as a bogus company with fraudulent intent. We do not give such companies a home. You will only receive officially recognized addresses from us, in whose premises there are offices with friendly and qualified staff as well as absolutely reputable companies.

Yes, of course, that’s actually pretty clever. Because with each additional location, you become a “regional provider” in the region in question, which Google particularly rewards with a good ranking. For you, this means that if you rent additional virtual offices, you will move from “regional” to “supra-regional” – in other words, rank better nationwide and be found. If you e.g. For example, if you rent 12 addresses in Germany, you can already be found on Google almost nationwide on page 1 (each in the relevant region).

Since the terms are not protected, you always have to take a very close look at the individual providers. With us you can basically get virtual offices in 3 different configurations:

1. As postal or branch addresses with which you can scale and expand your business nationwide, Europe-wide or even worldwide. However, these are not suitable for the first company headquarters. If the 1st company headquarters does not yet exist, design it e.g. B. with a domicile address.
2. As business addresses with which you meet all the criteria from point 1. In addition, these are also suitable for public deliveries because they are chargeable. You can also use this address for the imprint.
3. As domicile addresses , with which you can fulfill all the characteristics of postal, branch or business addresses. These are also suitable for us for the first company headquarters, for applying for a tax number and for entry in public registers (e.g. commercial register). This makes them ideal as a company headquarters for e.g. B. a GmbH or UG.

Virtual offices are not “handled”. Other criteria – essentially the legal form, market presence and geographic location – are decisive for corporate tax.
