For those planning on registering a business in Bali, one important factor you cannot overlook is that in order to legally operate within Indonesia, you must have an office address registered.
Without the office address, you will be unable to register your company, open bank accounts or apply for any licences.
To some new businesses, the expense of opening a physical office may be a cost too much to bear, which is why a virtual office may be a low-cost and simple solution.
In this short guide, we will explain the purpose of the Virtual office and who it is for.
What is a Virtual Office?
A virtual office is literally what it states, it is an office space your rent, but virtually. You do not have rights to the space, nor are able to work within in that space.
The virtual office arrangement simply means you can register your legal entity at a registered address for legal purposes only. You may also send mail to the address, such as company deeds and banking information.
Some virtual offices offer additional services such as mailing lists, phone receptions, meeting rooms etc.
What is the difference between a virtual office and a co-working space?
A co-working space is sharing office space with others. A co-working space does don’t allow the user to register a business address, unless the coworking space has a virtual office option.
If you are looking for a cost-effective environment for work, then a coworking space is perfect, but for registering a business, a virtual office is the best option, unless you want to rent a physical office and work from it.
What happens if I want to move to an actual office space, should I register my business using a virtual office?
Should in the future, you wish to move to your own space, then you may. You will need to update your company deeds with the new address. If you need assistance with this, our legal team can assist you.
