If your office space is in your home, or if the space you lease or rent doesn’t have an office image, rent a post office box from a private mailbox rental outlet that offers a street address and suite number. This will allow you to have a suite number on your address and will present a more professional image. Most communities and neighborhoods have private postal outlets, and you will find them convenient for a number of reasons. These outlets offer some or all of the following services:

• 24-hour mailbox service with street address and suite number

• Mail receiving/forwarding

• Stamps and metered mail

• Packing, shipping, and supplies

• All forms of shipping — overnight, second day air, ground

• Fax service

• Secretarial services

• Photocopies

• Money transfers

• Money orders

• Telephone messaging/voice mail

• Business cards and stationery

• Office/shipping supplies

Having this type of business close by can be very advantageous, especially in the start-up phase of your company. Look in the Yellow Pages under Mail Boxes, Postal Box Rentals, or Postal Services to find an appropriate facility in your area.
