The virtual office in India is one of the ways in which companies can establish their presence on the market. It offers an address for the company, for correspondence and incorporation purposes, and it also allows business owners to have access to many of the facilities usually found in a traditional office space.
Our team of attorneys in India works with international investors and entrepreneurs who are looking for ways in which they can open a company or establish on the Indian market. We can provide complete services and counseling for this type of office.
A business owner who will run his company via a virtual office will need to apply for a residence permit if he intends to remain in the country for more than 180 days. As this can often be required of company managers, our team can answer any questions about immigration to India. You can reach out to us as soon as you need to apply for a residence permit.
Reasons to work via a virtual office in India
One of the main reasons why entrepreneurs decide to work via a virtual office is the fact that, this way, they can save important amounts of money that would otherwise be spent for renting or buying office space as well as equipping it with the minimal features for a functional office space.
The virtual office is an existing, furnished and equipped space that can be rented as per a package offered by a certain company or team. It offers a business address and, as our Indian lawyers can further detail, this business address is mandatory for entrepreneurs who wish to open a company in the country.
If you want to move to India permanently and do business, our team of immigration lawyers in India can tell you more about the route to obtain citizenship in India, based on your lawful stay in the country as a business owner. For this to be possible through naturalization, one will need to reside in the country for at least twelve years, and also meet other criteria. We can give you complete details if you are interested in this step.
The virtual office package in India
Our team of lawyers in India offers a number of virtual office packages or plans and investors can either choose an existing plan that suits their needs or get in touch with our agents to talk about how they can personalize the plan with needed virtual office services.
Our basic virtual office package includes the following services:
- Business address: this is used both for incorporating the company and for correspondence purposes; most virtual office locations are central and offer a prestigious business address.
- Answering calls: one of our agents can answer your calls and forward them as directed.
- Mail forwarding: any mail received at the address can be forwarded to another location of your choice.
- Office space: we offer access to meeting room space for occasional business meetings.
This is just an example of the basic features in a virtual office package. We invite you to contact our Indian law firm for more information about how we can assist you with different services for company formation or relocation.
Running a company via a virtual office is a suitable solution for many types of businesses. However, foreign investors who opt for this type of office will also need to keep in mind that they are subject to certain requirements depending on their nationality if they intend to remain in India for long periods of time. We can also answer questions about residency in India.
