Can I get a business address without renting a desk?
Sole traders, freelancers and individuals can — the standalone address is $79/month + GST with no desk required, to use on your website, invoices and mail and keep your home address private. Companies that need it as a registered office get it with a desk or office membership (included with a Dedicated Desk).
Do you offer a personal New Zealand address for people living overseas?
Yes. Our personal New Zealand address service ($79/month + GST) is for Kiwis and expats living overseas who need a reliable NZ address for their mail — shares and dividend statements, IRD, KiwiSaver, bank and insurance letters, and parcels. We receive it, tell you what has arrived, and hold, scan or forward it to you anywhere in the world.
Are there team or group pricing options?
Yes. For teams of 2 or more, we offer custom team desk arrangements and shared office spaces. Pricing depends on your team size and requirements. Contact us at info@lyallbayworkhub.nz for a tailored quote.
