Why a virtual address beats a PO box

When you register a company or open a business bank account, you need an address that looks credible — not a numbered box at a post office.

A virtual office address like Pigeonhole gives you a real street address on Companies House, your website, and your invoices. Banks and HMRC treat it differently from a PO box because mail is received and handled by a supervised operator.

You also get same-day scanning and forwarding, so you're never waiting for someone to collect from a locker. For remote founders, that's the difference between looking like a bedroom operation and a proper business.
