What an LLC needs from a virtual address
An LLC uses a business address on its state filings, its IRS records, its bank account and its website. A virtual business address covers those uses when it meets four tests:
- A street address, not a PO box. IRS Form SS-4 and most state forms reject a PO box for the business street address.
- A USPS-registered mail center. The provider is a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA), and USPS requires a signed Form 1583 before it accepts mail for you.
- Separate from your registered agent. A virtual address does not replace a registered agent, who must be available in the state during business hours to accept legal papers.
- Accepted by your bank. Banks set their own rules for CMRA addresses, so confirm before you apply.
The rules state by state are in the guide to using a virtual address for an LLC.
The providers compared
1. BusinessAnywhere
BusinessAnywhere has 31 street addresses in 21 states and Washington, DC, and every location costs the same. Plans are Basic at $20 a month, Premium at $30 and Advanced at $65 billed annually ($25, $40 and $85 billed monthly), and they differ only in the number of mail recipients: up to 2, 5 and 20. Every plan includes unlimited incoming mail and packages, unlimited mail scanning with no per-page charge, 30 days of free storage, free shredding and worldwide forwarding for $2 packing plus postage.
The difference for LLC owners is that the address sits in the same account as LLC formation ($0 plus the state fee), registered agent service (free for the first year with formation, then $147) and annual compliance. Read the full virtual business address page for every location and plan detail.

6. Anytime Mailbox
Anytime Mailbox is a network of independent mail centers rather than a single operator, with more than 2,500 locations. Each location sets its own plans, mail limits and scan fees, so compare the specific address you want before you sign up.
What each provider costs at real mail volumes
The sticker price only tells part of the story. These totals use the cheapest plan from each provider that covers the volume, and the lowest published scan rate.
| Provider | 40 letters a month, 20 opened and scanned (3 pages each) | 100 letters a month, 50 opened and scanned (4 pages each) |
|---|---|---|
| BusinessAnywhere | $25 billed monthly, $20 billed annually | $25 billed monthly, $20 billed annually |
| iPostal1 | $48.49 (Business Green $14.99, 10 extra items $3.50, 20 scans $30) | $107.99 (Business Silver $29.99, 50 scans $78) |

| Traveling Mailbox | $25.00 (Extended plan) | $55.00 plus overage on 20 pages (Small Business plan) |
Standard locations, before tax and postage, from each provider’s pricing page on 10 November 2026. BusinessAnywhere monthly plans carry a one-time $25 sign-up fee; annual plans have none. PhysicalAddress.com and Anytime Mailbox are left out because their per-scan terms vary or are not published.
How to choose a virtual address provider for your LLC
- Count your mail. Estimate letters per month and how many you need opened. A low-price plan with per-scan fees becomes the expensive option once you open more than a handful of letters.
- Pick the state first. Choose an address in the state where your LLC is registered or where you want a presence, then compare providers there.
- Check what the address is for. Use it for your principal office, mailing address, website and bank. Keep a separate registered agent.
- Read the add-on list. Forwarding, check deposit, extended storage and extra recipients carry separate fees at most providers.
- Plan the Form 1583. Every provider needs a notarized or witnessed USPS Form 1583 and two IDs before mail starts.
How to set up a virtual address for your LLC
- Choose a location and plan.
- Create your account and list each person and business that will receive mail.
- Complete USPS Form 1583 and have it notarized. BusinessAnywhere offers an online notary service for $37.
- Update your state records, IRS records, bank and website with the new address.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best virtual address for an LLC?
The best fit depends on how much mail you receive. For LLC owners who open most of their mail, a plan with unlimited scanning costs the least over a year. BusinessAnywhere includes unlimited mail and scanning from $20 a month. For very low mail volume, a pay-per-scan plan has a lower sticker price.
Can an LLC use a virtual address as its business address?
Yes, in most states. An LLC can list a virtual address as its principal office and mailing address. It cannot use it as the registered agent address unless the provider is also the registered agent and staffed during business hours.
How much does a virtual address for an LLC cost?
Entry plans run from $7.98 to $20 a month. Total cost depends on extra item and scan fees: a business opening 20 letters a month pays between $25 and $50 a month at the four providers with published scan fees.
Is a virtual address the same as a PO box?
No. A virtual address is a street address at a private mail center with a suite number, and it scans your mail. A PO box is a box at a post office, and IRS and state forms reject it for a business street address.
Does a virtual address hide my home address?
Yes. State business filings are public records. Listing a virtual address as the principal office and mailing address keeps your home address off those records and off your website.
