A practical comparison of Germany’s business address and virtual office providers – on price, add-on fees, mail handling, workspace, minimum term and location.

A virtual office (virtuelles Büro) is a service that gives your business a real street address (Geschäftsadresse) – usable for your Handelsregister entry, Impressum and correspondence – plus mail handling and on-demand access to meeting rooms or workspace, without renting a physical office. It only works for registration if the address is a genuine, staffed ladungsfähige Anschrift where you can be reached, not a P.O. box (Postfach) or a name-only forwarding service.
For the underlying rules, see our guides to what a ladungsfähige Anschrift is and what a business address in Germany is.
The table below compares the best-known virtual office providers in Germany on the factors founders and teams weigh up when buying: price, additional fees, mail handling, workspace access, minimum term and location coverage.

Beyond these, plenty of regional business centres and independent coworking spaces across Germany offer a virtual office or business address directly – worth a look if you want a specific city or a lower price, though terms and compliance vary widely.
Olea offers hand-picked business addresses at offices or coworking spaces across Germany, with a digital mailbox and on-demand workspace included as standard. It starts at €69/month with no setup fees, deposit or minimum term (15% off on annual). You buy and manage everything online, including compliance checks. It’s an all-in-one option – pick from an everyday to landmark address, and get a fully digital experience, with flexible terms and no additional fees.
Regus (part of IWG) runs the largest flexible office network in Germany and globally. Prices start at €68/month at its cheapest location, in Stuttgart, but most cost more – and the headline price climbs once you add setup fees and mail charges. Reviews are mixed, with billing and auto-renewal the most common complaints, so read the contract terms closely before signing. It’s the pick if you want a recognised name and a business address backed by workspace across dozens of cities worldwide.
Clevver is a business address and digital mailbox provider run fully online. It offers addresses in eight German cities, with post scanned to a digital mailbox. It costs about €80/month billed quarterly, with a deposit of three months’ fees and a three-month minimum. It suits founders who just need an address and digital post – there’s no workspace and some users report slow support.
CONTORA Office Solutions specialises in landmark addresses in top districts – buildings like the Palais am Pariser Platz in Berlin or the TaunusTurm in Frankfurt. It has ten centres in six German cities, with staffed offices, meeting rooms and concierge service. Its virtual office, valid for company registration, starts from around €149/month and can be bought through an enquiry form, with a no-minimum monthly option for roughly €20/month more and a three-month deposit. Mail is received and can be scanned, forwarded or held for pickup, with a managed scanning service around €79/month. It’s for founders whose priority is the building and the address.
OfficeClub is a German coworking operator with design-led spaces in prime city locations. Its virtual office, valid for company registration, starts at €169/month with a €49 setup fee, on a three-month minimum, and can be bought online. It suits founders who want an address at a coworking space they can easily work from.
Satellite Office offers addresses in landmark buildings – Kurfürstendamm in Berlin, Königsallee in Düsseldorf, Jungfernstieg in Hamburg – with staffed reception and access to business lounges. Its virtual office, valid for company registration, starts around €179/month and can be bought through an enquiry form rather than instant online checkout, with a €99 setup fee and a three-month deposit. It’s for founders who want a landmark address and high quality service.
