Yes. A GmbH or UG must provide a domestic business address under § 8 Abs. 4 GmbHG. You can use an Olea address as that inländische Geschäftsanschrift. It is a real staffed street address where official documents can be received, and we provide a Nutzungsüberlassungserklärung confirming your right to use it. **Who this is for** - Founders registering a GmbH, UG, AG or other incorporated company - Existing companies changing their registered business address - International businesses establishing a German company **What Olea provides** - A staffed German street address with reliable receipt of official mail - A Nutzungsüberlassungserklärung after compliance approval - Your company name recorded for mail receipt, with digital, forwarding or pickup handling *Olea supplies the address and our supporting document.

You can publish your Olea address as the serviceable address in the Impressum for your commercial website, online shop or business social-media presence under § 5 DDG. Official and legal correspondence can be received there, so you can meet the address requirement without publishing your home address. **Who this is for** - Companies, sole traders and freelancers operating commercial websites - Online shops and digital-service businesses - Founders who do not want to publish a home address **What Olea provides** - A real serviceable street address - Reliable receipt of official and legal correspondence - Digital, forwarding or pickup mail handling according to the location *The address is one part of a compliant Impressum.

You can use your Olea address as your Geschäftsanschrift for tax registration and ongoing Finanzamt correspondence, including the Fragebogen zur steuerlichen Erfassung. The address does not by itself establish a German Betriebsstätte or Ort der Geschäftsleitung. Those depend on where your business activity and management actually take place. **Who this is for** - New companies completing German tax registration - Freelancers and sole traders applying for a Steuernummer - Existing businesses updating their Finanzamt correspondence address **What Olea provides** - A registered correspondence address for tax filings and notices - A Nutzungsüberlassungserklärung after compliance approval - Receipt of tax letters through your selected mail-handling option *Your Finanzamt determines your Betriebsstätte and place of management from the facts of your business.

You can use your Olea address as your registered business address when applying for bank accounts, payment services and online marketplaces. We provide a real street address and evidence of your right to use it, and can receive posted verification letters. Each provider runs its own KYC and address checks, so approval remains their decision. **Who this is for** - Founders opening a business bank account - Businesses onboarding with payment providers - E-commerce companies registering with marketplaces and business platforms **What Olea provides** - A real, verifiable German street address - A Nutzungsüberlassungserklärung after compliance approval - Receipt and handling of posted verification letters *Banks, payment providers and marketplaces set their own policies. Olea can support address verification, but cannot guarantee that a particular provider will approve an account.* ## A simpler way to establish your business in Germany Getting a business address is one of the first steps in starting or expanding in Germany. Yet locations are hard to compare, pricing is often unclear and setup still relies on calls, enquiries and paperwork. We started Olea to make it simpler. Choose an address at a hand-picked office, see the price upfront and complete setup online. Then manage your mail and book workspace when you need it – without paying for an office you don't use. - **Real offices, more choice** – Choose from staffed offices and coworking spaces across Germany rather than being limited to one operator or one mailroom. - **Built around German business requirements** – Use your address for company registration, tax correspondence, your Impressum and everyday business, with the supporting address documentation provided. - **Bought and managed online** – Compare locations and prices, complete verification and manage your address without a viewing, sales call or permanent office contract. ## Set up completely online in three steps Choose your address, complete verification and start using it, usually on the same day. No site visit, sales call or physical signature required. 1. **Choose your address** (A few minutes) – Compare available locations, prices and mail options, then select monthly or annual billing and buy online. 2. **Complete verification** (Usually 10–15 minutes) – Provide your ID, business information and any existing company documents through the guided compliance form. 3. **Start using your address** (Usually the same day) – Once approved, use your address for registration and business correspondence, receive mail and book workspace. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I use an Olea address to register a GmbH or UG? Yes. Olea locations are real, staffed German street addresses that can be used as the inländische Geschäftsanschrift for a GmbH or UG under § 8 Abs. 4 GmbHG. After your compliance check is approved, we provide a Nutzungsüberlassungserklärung confirming your right to use the address. Your notary remains responsible for certifying and submitting the Handelsregister filing. ### What documents do I receive for company registration? After purchase and compliance approval, you receive confirmation of your service, the full address details for your filing and a Nutzungsüberlassungserklärung showing your right to use the address. Olea provides the address-related evidence. Your notary or the relevant authority remains responsible for the filing itself. ### How quickly can I start using the address? You can choose and purchase your address online in a few minutes. The compliance form usually takes 10–15 minutes to complete. Straightforward applications are normally reviewed the same day, although we may need additional information and some applications can take up to two business days. Once approved, you can start using the address immediately. ### How is my mail handled? Every subscription includes unlimited receipt of business letters. During checkout, you choose one primary mail option: digital mailbox, mail pickup or recurring mail forwarding. The digital mailbox includes 5 scans per month, with scanned letters typically available within 5–7 days of receipt. Pickup and forwarding availability varies by location, and any forwarding charges and postage are shown before purchase. ### What is included in the monthly price? Every location includes a serviceable German business address, unlimited receipt of letters, one primary mail-handling option and access to book workspace across the Olea network. A digital mailbox and mail pickup have no additional monthly charge. Recurring mail forwarding costs €10 – €70 per month plus postage. Workspace usage and other extras are charged separately. ### Why do prices differ between addresses? The core Olea service is the same at every location. The price reflects the address and office you choose, including its city, district, building and operator. Central or prestigious addresses generally cost more. Monthly and annual billing are available, and annual plans reduce the monthly equivalent by 15%. ### Can I use the address for the Finanzamt and Impressum? You can use it as your Geschäftsadresse for Finanzamt registration and correspondence, and as the serviceable address in your Impressum under § 5 DDG. A Gewerbeanmeldung records your Betriebsstätte – the address where the business is actually carried on (§ 14 GewO) – so give the address that reflects how your business operates. The address alone does not establish a tax Betriebsstätte or place of management. ### Can I work or meet clients at the location? Yes. Olea customers can book meeting rooms, coworking desks and private offices at participating locations, subject to availability. Workspace is not included as unlimited free use in the virtual office subscription. It is booked and paid for separately, so you only pay for physical space when you need it. ## Who Olea is for - [Business address for GmbH & UG formation](https://oleaoffice.com/gmbh-formation.md) - [Business address for startups](https://oleaoffice.com/startups.md) - [Business address for freelancers (Freiberufler)](https://oleaoffice.com/freelancers.md) - [Business address for e-commerce sellers](https://oleaoffice.com/ecommerce-sellers.md) - [German business address for international companies](https://oleaoffice.com/international-companies.md) - [Address for your website Impressum](https://oleaoffice.com/impressum-address.md) - [Business address for professional services](https://oleaoffice.com/professional-services.md) - [Business address without an office (remote businesses)](https://oleaoffice.com/remote-business.md) - [Business address for sole traders (Einzelunternehmer)](https://oleaoffice.com/sole-traders.md) ## Cities - [Business address in Berlin](https://oleaoffice.com/berlin.md) - [Business address in Frankfurt](https://oleaoffice.com/frankfurt.md) - [Business address in Munich](https://oleaoffice.com/munich.md) - [Business address in Hamburg](https://oleaoffice.com/hamburg.md) - [Business address in Stuttgart](https://oleaoffice.com/stuttgart.md) - [Business address in Düsseldorf](https://oleaoffice.com/dusseldorf.md) - [Business address in Hanover](https://oleaoffice.com/hanover.md) ## Notes - “Registered business address” commonly refers to the official address a business registers with the relevant authorities. In Germany, this may include the Handelsregister and Finanzamt, depending on the business and its legal form. The address generally needs to be a physical street address in Germany where official documents can be served and received – a ladungsfähige Geschäftsadresse, rather than a PO box (Postfach). Olea provides a real street address at a staffed office, written authorisation to use it and receipt of official post. You remain responsible for registering the address with the relevant authorities. - Human pages: [German (primary)](https://oleaoffice.com/de) · [English](https://oleaoffice.com/en) - Pricing in markdown: [pricing.md](https://oleaoffice.com/pricing.md) · Full catalogue: [locations.md](https://oleaoffice.com/locations.md) · Site index for LLMs: [llms.txt](https://oleaoffice.com/llms.txt) - Generated 2026-09-28T20:34:34Z from the same sources as the human pages; regenerated at least hourly.
