What is a virtual office?
The virtual office is a physical address for the company and selected office services, such as a local phone number, mail collection, and forwarding, secretarial services, and office space room rental as needed.
When choosing to work via a virtual office in Belize, your business will benefit from the presence of a high-profile office at a fraction of the cost of a traditional office.
What are the advantages of a virtual office in Belize?
Investors who open a company in Belize can enjoy the following advantages when working via a virtual office:
- Creating a professional business image: in most cases, offices are located in modern office buildings in Belize, such as in Belmopan. The address can be used to project a favourable business image;
- Reduced overhead costs: lease, administrative, and utility costs can be reduced significantly when selecting this option;
- Access to essential office space: from various types of offices (co-working or individual offices), to fully-equipped meeting rooms;
- Options for tailored solutions: secretary services, call and mail forwarding, and more (see below for details on packages offered in Belize).
What does a virtual office package include?
The Virtual Office package provided by our team contains:
- Prestigious business address in Belize: for a credible and risk-free base for corresponding with clients, situated in a top business location;
- Registered office: a mandatory requirement for establishing a Belize company. With a virtual office package, you will also handle this step;
- Mail collection and forwarding – your mail is collected and forwarded to a preferred address, and any packages are signed for and sent to you according to your instructions;
- A local phone number: included in this package, you will also have a local telephone number in Belmopan, Belize;
- Voice mailbox: a special service that ensures that all of your voice messages will be forwarded to you by email.
Do I have access to additional office solutions or services?
Our package can also include additional services, which you may use if needed or as you see fit. These are:
- Call redirecting: our agents will use software to redirect the calls received at the Belize office to your main telephone number;
- Collection of bank statements;
- Extra usage of the meeting room, when needed.

What types of companies is the virtual office suited for?
There are no limitations on the type or size of company that can use virtual office services. However, this type of solution can be more suitable for the following:
- Startups, due to the fact that the overall overhead costs are generally lower, compared to traditional office rental and upkeep;
- Remote-first companies: businesses that primarily have their employees work remotely, rather than from a physical location at all times;
- Consultants, professionals, business partners: individuals who do business in Belize and only require meeting room space or offices on an occasional basis.
What is the validity period of a virtual office package in Belize?
Most virtual office packages are offered for a pre-set period, such as six months or a year. The monthly or yearly contract can be extended automatically if investors choose to do so. In most cases, companies that choose to start via a virtual office in Belize will continue to use this service.
How much does a virtual office cost?
Prices can vary greatly; however, those looking for this type of service may expect prices to start at $400 for the professional address package (which usually only includes mail handling as an extra service).
The more services are required for the business, the more the overall price package will grow. Some services, such as meeting room rental, are often offered on a reservation basis; therefore, you do not pay for these on a monthly basis, but rather as agreed upon with the provider.
Can I change my virtual office in Belize?
Yes. Changing the virtual office provider is possible; however, you will have to be mindful of the terms of your services agreement (such as any notice period, other clauses, and, of course, the issue of losing the payment of opting out earlier than agreed upon).
Is using a virtual office essential when opening a company in Belize?
Using a virtual office package for company formation in Belize is only one of the options readily available to investors.
The most important issue to consider is that your Belize-registered legal entity will require a local address. This may or may not be the address of the virtual office.
