WHICH ADDRESS SERVICE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

One of the questions I hear all the time is, “What kind of address service should I get?” 

And every time, I wish I had a central place to direct them that explains all the different types we offer, because explaining it multiple times a day can get exhausting (but really, I don’t mind). So one summer Saturday in 2026, while in bed “aggressively resting and hydrating” with COVID, I decided to write my own primer. 

From my perspective, the kind of address service you want depends on three things:  

• what kind of business you have

• how much mail you expect to receive

• and where do you live

First, what kind of business are you? Is it home-based? Are you selling goods, or do you perform services? Will you be welcoming customers to your location, or will you go to them? 

If you are a home based business who will not be welcoming customers to your location, and you don’t expect to receive mail, a Virtual Address is what you need. This gives you a professional street address to put on your website and printed material, and most importantly, keeps your home address a secret. 

But what if you are a home-based business who provides goods and services, and you expect to receive important mail, like  invoices from vendors, checks from customers, and maybe even your LLC papers. If you are based in Bentonville, you want local mailbox service. This service provides you with a street address based in a professional office setting (NOT a PO Box), and a quiet, secure place to collect your mail on your schedule. 

If the previous paragraph applies to you EXCEPT you live somewhere other than Bentonville, you want a Virtual Mailbox. With Virtual Mail service, you receive a notification the instant your mail arrives. From there, you can choose to have each item scanned, forwarded, or set out for pickup. And once your item is scanned, it is shredded for maximum security and identity protection. 

No matter your business, we have an address service that is right for you. These start at $35/mo, and go up from there depending on which add-ons you need. If you are still on the fence, or have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to help you figure out which one is right for you!
