Comparison: Home Address ❌ vs Virtual Office ✅
Summary
Home Address: While initially tempting due to low costs, it often leads to complications in obtaining permits, especially for official LGU registrations and inspections. Many local government units and agencies prefer commercial addresses for business legitimacy.
Virtual Office: Offers a compliant, professional, and flexible solution suitable for startups, remote teams, and foreign entrepreneurs. It ensures smooth registration process, improves business credibility, and allows operational agility.
Deciding between the two depends on your business needs, budget, and growth plans, but the virtual office clearly provides a more scalable and reputable option for long-term success.
This comparison is based on current regulations and trends regarding business registration practices in the Philippines
