UBC Edinburgh is in a fantastic spot—right in the heart of Edinburgh’s financial district at Forth House, Rutland Square. Having a business address here adds some credibility, which is a big plus if you’re trying to establish a strong professional image.

They’ve got three tiers of virtual office memberships—Essentials, Complete, and Elite—so there’s something for businesses of all sizes. The packages cover services from mail handling to call answering, and you also get access to meeting rooms.

That said, the Complete package, which includes an exclusive telephone number and call answering, comes in at around £99.95 + VAT, so if you’re on a tight budget, it might feel a bit steep.

On the flip side, UBC does offer solid secretarial and admin support, which is helpful for businesses to stay on top of routine tasks while focusing on what matters most: growing the business.

And if you need it, you can take advantage of additional services like fully equipped meeting rooms and coworking spaces. It’s a nice touch for those times when you need to meet clients or collaborate in a professional setting.

What we love most about Virtually There is its incredibly affordable virtual office solutions. It costs as little as £10 per month, making it a great option for startups or small companies with limited budgets.

Another huge advantage—no setup fees, so you can begin without paying a penny extra. And you’re not tied down to a long-term contract given that they have monthly rolling subscriptions—you can cancel anytime if your needs change.

We also like their online portal since it gives you full control over your services, letting you manage calls, messages, and mail in one place. You also receive 10 free mail scans every month that’ll be conveniently sent to your inbox.

The catch? They don’t provide physical office space or meeting rooms. So, you’ll have to go elsewhere if you need an office or a place to meet your clients.

Still, for businesses that just need a business address and virtual support, Virtually There is a reliable and budget-friendly option.

Virtual HQ has three locations across Edinburgh, giving businesses access to legitimate addresses that can boost credibility. Being linked to a well-known area can make a strong impression on clients and open up new opportunities. 

Managing mail is easy—you can pick it up in person or have it scanned and sent straight to your inbox, so you never miss anything important.

They also provide local Edinburgh phone numbers and call handling, which assists in building a substantial local presence and makes your calls answered professionally and quickly.

If you occasionally need a physical workspace, they’ve got you covered with pay-as-you-go meeting rooms and coworking spaces. It’s a convenient alternative to client meetings or team collaborations without the expense of a permanent office.

Just a heads-up, though: there’s a one-off £30 setup fee that’s non-refundable, and services such as mail forwarding and phone handling come with extra monthly costs.

Nonetheless, Virtual HQ offers a comprehensive range of services, making it a great choice for businesses looking for a virtual office with a professional touch.

Perfect location

“This is the perfect location for a Virtual Office in Edinburgh with it’s EH1 postal code, extremely efficient on-site reception team and extremely well equipped meeting rooms.”

Hudson House is located smack in the centre of Edinburgh’s New Town, a five-minute walk from Waverley Railway Station. Its central position makes it easily accessible for meetings and commuting, whether you’re a local or coming in from out of town.

One of the highlights is how flexible they are in terms of contracts—there are no long-term agreements, and you can change the virtual office services to suit your evolving business. 

They also have a partnership with The Answer Centre to offer a phone answering service, where PAs receive calls in your business name.

For a fixed monthly fee, they’ll sort and forward your mail to your chosen address, or you can collect it in person. Either way, you won’t miss any important documents, even if you’re working remotely.

Speaking of fees—pricing starts at around £35 for a virtual office, and extras like call handling and meeting room access come at an additional cost. It’s not the cheapest option, but Hudson House has a strong track record of helping businesses thrive.

Communication is always fast

“Great to work with Hudson House. Communication is always fast and the clean modern interiors make for a pleasant environment to work in.”

Capital Business Centre is located in Edinburgh’s vibrant financial quarter, providing businesses with a reputable address that enhances their image.

Their digital teleworker handset solution is quite the standout. If you’re working from home, these let you make and receive calls from your business number over a wired internet connection—keeping work and personal calls separate without needing a full office setup.

You can also choose from three affordable virtual office plans—Starter Pack, Premium Pack, and Premium Plus. Each plan features a registered business address and mailbox, with more advanced packages, including call handling, voice mail, and even meeting rooms.

We found that the Premium Plus package is particularly convenient if you occasionally have to find a space for client meetings, and they even provide catering to make it all the more streamlined. 

However, all virtual office plans come with a £50 + VAT setup fee, so there’s an extra cost upfront. But hey, for a well-rounded virtual office solution that won’t break the bank, Capital Business Centre is worth considering.

Amazing, friendly staff

“Amazing friendly staff who go out their way to help. The centre itself is located in a stunning building- inside and out. Also very central location- couple minutes walk from Princes Street and Haymarket train station. I love the place so much I have had an office for 20 years!”
