Sankofa Virtual Offices.

A virtual office with Sankofa includes a recognized business address, with a suite number, NOT a PO Box. Customers also receive unlimited mail processing and handling. Meaning you can have as much of your business mail sent to our facility as you need. Mail can be picked up Monday - Friday, between 9:00am and 5:00pm and weekends based on request. Simply complete our Mail Pickup form to schedule.

If you need mail forwarded, simply send us an email and our staff will forward to your requested address. In addition, we also offer FREE on-site shred services for your mail.

A PO Box is a mailing address typically located at a retail postal store (also known as “pack and ship” store). A Virtual Office from Sankofa provides a business address for your business as well as mail handling and processing of your business mail.

Our addresses can be used for mail, as well as important requirements such as business licensing and LLC formation as well as for your website.

Sankofa Virtual Offices are only $39 a month.

Additional fees include $25 for online notary services and $2 mail forwarding fee per letter. These additional services are optional.

In most cases, a Virtual Office can be used for business licensing. Some industries have restrictions, but the majority of businesses we work with have had their licensing approved with a Virtual Office.
