I need a postal address

Chris,

I saw someone here also recommended Mailboxes Etc. I use the Croydon one for one of my companies and am very pleased with them.

You basically choose whether you call your mailbox Office/Suite/Unit/Number 8, Maddison House, Croydon etc. It is a real physical address and you can even have parcels delivered there.

The beauty to me is that I don't have to pay for the redirecting of post. I just pop down every few days and pick up the post. Saves a fair bit over the course of a year and should be as cheap as the London addresses.

Andy
how much is that croydon one costing you?

    Hi Chris,
    I would also recommend Simon Read. Might not be the cheapest if you just want mail and nothing else, but if you did couple it in with meeting/training rooms/location and then it does look a lot more attractive.

    We do offer virtual addresses, but primarily Northampton which doesn't help you with London but thanks for the recommendation earlier anyway. :)

    Thanks Richard
    As I live on the river opposite Houses of Parliament 16 floors up with stunning view and great facilities for workshops training and meetings I do not need a central location, just a London mailing address so people do not come knocking.
    Kind regards

    I am just off the top page of Gooogle for a number of business mentor phrases and I now need to give it another push. Part of that will be to list myself in directories but I have a slight snag. I do not have retail or business premises and I do not want to draw attention to where I live. I am sure there must be very easy ways of obtaining a postal address and presumably having your mail forwarded which you clever people in here know about,. What do you suggest?

    Many thanks

    Are mail-forwarding companies obligated to reveal a real address too? HMRC, Police etc is fine but to just anyone who asks?...

    I offer this service (not in London though:() and would never reveal my clients actual address to anyone. You are not obligated to reveal clients addresses and I would expect people who offer this service would respect your privacy.

    Could you give me a quote for an address and call answering service per month? Will pay in advance. I am launching my venture on the 1st Novemeber and would need these in place for then. The majority of my potential and current clients will/do use the ticket system we have so there wouldnt be alot of calls. Also regular 9 to 5 mon- fri? what about bank holidays, weekends?

    As much info as possible please officebird by PM :D

    Looked this up and it says they will reveal your address on request which seems to defeat the object. yes take the point of not delivering to a PO and looks a bit fishy too I think.

    So anyone in here use a good business address service? Probably needs to be in London as I need business in London.

    Hi Chris, I think we've already spoken about this months ago and can offer you a choice of 2 London mailing addresses in the City and you can also physically use the centre/collect mail or have a mailbox on site.

    I think I already have your email address so will send over our prices.
