The virtual office in Singapore vs. rentals and leases

As you already know, obtaining an address in Singapore is possible through several means among which rental and lease are the most popular options when it comes to commercial spaces. However, the virtual office in Singapore has become a go-to solution in the past few years for several reasons. The most important is the price, which is significantly lower compared to a traditional rent, especially when considering Singapore is one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Then, there is also the fact that the virtual office is a service which relies on a contract that can contain the exact requirements of the client. One can simply choose the facilities associated to it, can decide the period he or she wants to use it for and does not need to hire employees in order to complete the usual tasks that come with having a business location.

The virtual office is by far more flexible and cheaper compared to a traditional rent. However, we remind you that if you want to use it to open a company in Singapore, this is possible for a limited period only.

How to obtain a virtual office

Buying a virtual office nowadays has never been easier. No matter if you are in Singapore or abroad, all you need to do is select the package you are interested in, put a request, and sign the purchase contract. Everything can be completed via email, so that you need to travel unless you want to.

The contract will be personalized with the services you want and can be signed for the period you are interested in using it. What you should note is that the longer the term of the contract, the better the price. The cost of the service is also influenced by the location and the facilities accompanying it.

As a general rule, you can tailor the contract to your needs, however, there are also options you can add later, if this option suits your interests. Moreover, you don’t have to be physically present in Singapore if you don’t need to travel, especially in times where travelling is not possible.

If you are still considering whether the Singapore virtual office address is the right choice for you or not, you can send all your questions to our local representatives who can answer them. We can also make various proposals based on your requests.

How much does it cost to buy a virtual office in Singapore?
