📨 Postal address versus business address issues
Are you a coworking operator facing member complaints about address-related rejections when opening Expand 👇 bank accounts, registering for government codes, or setting up business profiles? Sofia Stolberg of PilotoMail shares that the core issue stems from confusion between postal addresses (which require PMB numbers) and business addresses (which need physical office designations), as government agencies and financial institutions automatically reject PMB-formatted addresses.
Operators should educate members about when to use each address type, ensure business addresses include distinct suite numbers showing physical presence, and price virtual office services appropriately for serious business requirements. Clear communication about address compliance helps prevent member frustration and ensures coworking spaces serve clients who truly need legitimate business addresses rather than just convenient mail handling.
