Can you list a rented storage unit as your business address?
Hi, a friend of mine wants to register his business (an online shop that packs and ships parcels). He's reluctant to use his home address because he doesn't have enough space there, and it probably won't work with his landlord. Is he allowed to rent a storage unit, such as MyStorage, and list it as his business location? His mailing address is still his home.
Does this work?
Both of them are really a bit confused. Thank you very much! 🙂

Hello SirLevPlays,
He can take the address from the warehouse when there is a company sign and a mailbox where the mail arrives. 😊🙏
Can you use another address instead of your own private address in the imprint? Yes, because it does not matter that you use your private address in the imprint. Rather, it is a chargeable address that must meet certain requirements.
For example, I have a photo studio and rent addresses for such cases… with telephone service.
Can you recommend a website/operator?
Just for a short time to understand: it means that he does not have to specify his address at the trade office and the landlord any problems. He would then rent an extra storage room.
Yes, he only has to specify the rented address anywhere.
The mail is forwarded to the “real” address twice a week in a collection envelope or picked up.

But the FS had asked, “Does it mean that he doesn’t have to specify his address anywhere at the trade office?”
However, it must be said that he must, of course, give his private address to the trade office.
Yes, it’s not about registering, it’s about the imprint and the letterhead… so contact with strangers and customers.
This is, of course, wrong. It is permissible to rent such business addresses… This does not save you from registering the actual premises (§ 14 GewO).
It must a chargeable address also in the imprint.

Wrong. It is not necessary to specify “a chargeable address”, but the address at which the company is established (§ 5 para. 1 TMG). This is the address of the branch, not registered in the HR.
Thank you.
