Answer questions

As a start-up entrepreneur or small business owner, it makes sense to use your own private apartment as an office and thus also as the seat of the company. The cost of having your own office space is simply too high for many in this situation. However, you should make sure that the private address, quickly seems dubious and pay attention to several points:

Condo or rental apartment?

In most cases, leases of private homes are residential leases. These apply - as the name suggests - for the rental of housing. In many leases is explicitly prohibited that the private apartment may be used as a commercial space, especially if it is a trade or business where customer traffic is expected. But even without party traffic, most property managers are demanding that the use of their home address for a trade must be explicitly requested and approved. Last but not least, this is also about when the name of the company is to be listed next to the private name on the mailbox or even a private company sign should be attached.

In the case of condominiums, the landlord who can prohibit the commercial use of a private dwelling falls away, but here too, the property management or the house rules can explicitly regulate this situation, especially. when it comes to your own company sign or similar to install.

“Kreisverwaltungsreferat” The district administration department Munich pays attention to misuse of living spaces

Due to the acute lack of housing, the city of Munich pays particular attention to whether residential space for commercial use is being diverted. The “Gewerbeamt”(commercial office) or “Kreisverwaltungsreferat”(the district administration department) Munich explicitly states that the City of Munich prohibits this and may even punish it with a fine.

Virtual Office as a cheap alternative

For these cases, a virtual office is the perfect compromise between an expensive office and a confrontation with the landlord or the “Gewerbeamt” (commercial office)!

Specialized secretarial services companies offer differently sized office space with the necessary infrastructure such as office furniture, telecommunication and internet connections. The rental of small office units takes place for hours, days, months or years.

The advantage: costs only apply to services actually provided. Fixed costs are minimized and the company remains flexible

With an office solution in a business center, the start-up difficulties of a company with the furnishing of office space, the establishment of a reception and telephone service or the holiday and sickness planning of the employees do not apply to you.

In an office community, you can react faster and more effectively to the demands of the market and exploit the synergy potential of the community. A great opportunity to make new contacts, develop common ideas and get new projects off the ground. These benefits will benefit you both in a temporary as well as a permanent use of the office community.

In addition, you use building with prestige as a business address. This not only gives a good impression on customers, but also increases your privacy and personal safety when working from home. The business address is definitely the better alternative to the PO Box.

From a postal address you can accept, send and forward your mail. In any case, a mailing address is preferable to a PO Box because a mailbox gives the customer the feeling that his mail does not end up directly with the recipient and it remains unclear in which frequency the mails are collected.
