Setting Up a Business Address in Solano County

As a home-based business owner or sole proprietor, you may need a business street address for a variety of reasons:

  • Registering your business with the State, County, or City of Benicia and applying for business licenses and permits.

  • Opening a business bank account or payment processing account.

  • Receiving business mail, checks, and packages separate from your personal mail.

  • Keeping your home address private if you're a client-facing professional like a therapist or attorney.

  • Meeting a client’s or health care contract’s requirements that your business be located in Benicia or Solano County.

  • Presenting a professional image and local presence by listing a consistent business address on your website, invoices, and business card.

Virtual Office Programs Provide the Business Address You Need

Coworking spaces like Benicia’s Common Room offer “Virtual Office” services to meet remote businesses’ need for a street address.

Virtual Office clients have a unique suite ID for their business (e.g. 521 1st St #283), a secure mailbox, and some access to the coworking space. It’s simple and effective.

What makes Virtual Office different than the UPS Store or a P.O. Box?

A Virtual Office has many advantages. Various government and contract entities don’t consider standalone mailboxes a physical location. However, a Virtual Office at a coworking space does qualify as a physical location.

In the City of Benicia, a remote business can’t register their city business license at a P.O. Box. If that’s their only business mailbox, they would also list their home address online. However, all of Common Room’s Virtual Office clients can register their businesses at the coworking location.
