Virtual Headquarters

What Virtual Headquarters does

Virtual Headquarters (trading as Virtual HQ) is a UK-based virtual office solutions provider founded in 2015 and headquartered in Bristol. The company operates a network of 148 virtual office locations across the United Kingdom — described as 95% UK city coverage and the largest independent UK virtual office provider — enabling clients to use prestigious business addresses without occupying physical office space. All buildings are reportedly actively tenanted and staffed with reception personnel, differentiating Virtual HQ from unmanned address-only providers. The company is a Companies House Authorised Agent and HMRC-registered under MLR 2017, allowing it to provide legally compliant registered office and director service addresses.

The core product is a subscription-based virtual office address service starting from £25 per month, supplemented by modular add-ons including mail forwarding (£8.99/month), mail scanning with forwarding (£12.99/month), registered/directors address (£7.99/month), telephone line and divert with professional telephone answering (£10.99/month), and pay-as-you-go meeting rooms and co-working spaces. Unique multi-site packages (The Full English, The Crown Jewels, The Big Smoke, Bespoke) bundle multiple UK locations under one account for businesses needing presence in several cities. All contracts are 30-day rolling with no long-term commitment, alongside a one-off £30 setup fee for AML checks. The technology underpinning the service is physical office infrastructure with reception staff rather than a proprietary software platform; no API, SDK, or digital integrations are referenced.

Virtual HQ targets UK startups, SMEs, freelancers, sole traders, e-commerce businesses, and non-UK companies seeking a UK presence. Go-to-market is sales-led: inbound digital marketing (SEO across 148 location-specific landing pages, content hub, freelance rate calculator lead magnet) feeds an online self-serve purchase flow for basic packages, while dedicated Account Managers handle bespoke multi-site and enterprise enquiries via direct phone sales (+44 204 587 9704, 0330 159 9845). The company is privately held, founder/owner-operated, with no disclosed external funding and headcount of 1-10 employees.
