How to get a Business Mailing Address at Groundwork (and why you need one)
Still using a home address for your consulting or freelance work? It might be time to upgrade to a professional business mailing address. Here’s everything you need to know about business mail plans at Groundwork, and how to get one.
A better way to manage your mail
A business mail plan (sometimes called a virtual mailbox) allows you to pay a monthly fee to use a professional street address for your business. Your mail goes to that address, where it is sorted and securely stored until it’s ready to be picked up or forwarded.
It’s a simple and affordable way to elevate your business. If you’re self-employed, running a small organization, or starting a side hustle, you can’t afford NOT to have it. Here’s why:
You get a professional business address
The number one reason people sign up for a virtual mailbox at Groundwork is to establish a professional business address. Nothing screams unprofessional to your clients like a residential address or PO Box.
You can also register your LLC or S-Corp with your new business mailing address.
Establish a local presence without paying office rent
If your business is in operation in one city, and you want to expand your footprint to a new area without renting an office, having a professional mailing address is the way to go.
You can use our address in your marketing and promotional materials to establish a local presence and gain access to a new market of customers.
Privacy and security
If you’d rather not have clients knocking on your front door during dinnertime, don’t share your home address with them. Using a business mailing address instead allows you to keep your home office private and separate from work.
The added security of a business mailing address can also help to prevent identity theft. All mail at Groundwork is delivered to a locked mailbox, which our staff checks daily and then sorts into a locked file in our secure space. Your mail is never vulnerable to theft. FedEx and UPS packages are delivered to our staffed reception desk during business hours.
Flexible mail options for every need
Flexibility is at the heart of coworking, and our mail plans are no exception. That’s why we offer three different options, so you only pay for what you actually need.
Our plans include: Pick Up Only, Weekly Forwarding, and Open & Scan.
Mail is automatically handled, forwarded, or scanned based on your mail plan. Everything is processed without delays or back-and-forth emails, including your monthly subscription and shipping costs.
We also offer mail notifications as an add-on for anyone who prefers updates without having to call or check in.
No pesky storage fees
We know life gets busy. Between work, kids, and everything in between, checking your business mail can slip down the priority list. At many places, that leads to surprise storage fees.
That won’t happen at Groundwork. Instead of charging storage fees, we automatically forward your mail after 30 days regardless of your mail plan. So you can rest easy knowing that your mail will always end up in your hands.
Downsize and cut business costs
If the past few years helped you realize that you don’t need that expensive office rent after all, you can still maintain a professional address and presence. Our mail plans are a great option for businesses that want to consolidate and cut costs. Plus, all mail customers at Groundwork enjoy a 20% discount on meeting room rentals and day passes. These discounts are redeemable at both of our locations regardless of which mailing address you use, guaranteeing that you always have an affordable place to work or meet clients.
