3 Signs It’s Time to Leave the PO Box Behind

Virtual Office space

Written by Tea Godfrey on May 30, 2025

You started your business lean and scrappy — and a PO Box made sense. It was cheap, simple, and kept your home address private. But now you’re growing. And that little metal box might be holding you back more than helping you succeed.

If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to upgrade to a virtual office with real support — like the services we offer at BIZ CUBE.

1. You Need to Look More Professional

When you list a PO Box on your website or business cards, it signals that your business is small — or even temporary. In contrast, a street address at a professional location tells customers and partners you’re serious, stable, and established.

At BIZ CUBE, you’ll get a real business address in a professional setting. Want to meet clients in person? We can accommodate that too — in our river-view conference room or common area.

2. You’re Tired of Missed Deliveries and Mail Delays

PO Boxes have limitations — many carriers (like FedEx and UPS) won’t deliver to them. And if you’re not checking the box regularly, you could miss important documents or packages.

With our mail service, you don’t have to worry. We receive your mail, notify you promptly, and can even scan or forward important items. It’s mail handling — humanized.

The beauty of this is that you don’t need to drive to your PO Box to see if you have mail. You’ll always know when things arrive AND you’ll have the choice to have us scan and forward items, or leave it in your mailbox.

3. Your Business is Missing Out on Google Search Results

Without a street address, your business likely won’t show up at the top of the local search results, if at all. Of course, it’s not as simple as using a virtual office to fix all of that, but it’s a huge first step. And we can assist you with the technical stuff around getting Google-verified, too.

4. Our Virtual Office Membership Includes Registered Agent Service

Why work with several different vendors to get all your needs met when your membership with BIZ CUBE includes Registered Agent Service. This means you can tell the state that this is your principal place of business.

When you sign up with BIZ CUBE, we’ll handle the paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office and help you figure out how and where your business address needs to be updated.

You’ll also get one free hot desk day OR one free conference room hour per month…perfect for those occasional meetings with clients.

It’s time to graduate from the PO Box.
