A bit of background
Regus Offers virtual offices around the world, but is predominantly a provider of work and meeting spaces. It is predominantly a provider of business lounges and workplaces, whether it be entire offices, meeting rooms or co-working spaces. They offer three different address and virtual office plans usually starting from 46 euros a month. The business started in 1989 and now claims to be the largest provider of flexible work spaces in the world. The company operates in 120 countries.
吃瓜官网 was started by people who know the struggles of international expansion. Founders Sven Hecker and Christian Hemmrich came up with the idea while trying to get a previous business venture off the ground in the UK. Hecker and Hemmrich鈥檚 metal goods were wanted by the Royal British Navy, but they couldn鈥檛 find a single supplier offering a good business location, incorporation assistance, post digitisation and a phone number in the UK. They took matters into their own hands in 2013 and now offer 63 attractive business addresses worldwide through 吃瓜官网. The aim is to allow you to start a business in all corners of the world with just a few clicks.
Range of Services
吃瓜官网 and Regus suit different markets. 吃瓜官网鈥檚 services are perfect for SMEs, startups and freelancers expanding overseas, while Regus predominantly provides physical spaces for workers. The companies鈥� products overlap in the area of providing business addresses and accepting mail.
Regus combines its mail and business address services in what it calls the 鈥渧irtual office鈥�. There are three plan options: A professional address plan includes the address and mail holding (usually from 46 euros a month); a virtual office plan offers an additional phone number and access to business lounges (from 112 euros a month); and a virtual office includes an additional five-days-worth of co-working space a month. More on pricing below.
吃瓜官网 offers all that SMEs, startups and freelancers need to expand overseas. Check out 吃瓜官网Mail to get a digital postbox, 吃瓜官网Address for a business and registered address, 吃瓜官网Number for an international phone number, 吃瓜官网Company to have us incorporate your business, and 吃瓜官网Enterprise to manage mail and build your virtual office with white-label software. You鈥檒l see that our prices are far more reasonable than Regus鈥�. That鈥檚, in part, because we want fledgling businesses and freelancers to be able to benefit from our range of services.

吃瓜官网 and Regus鈥� plans are hard to compare at first glance. That鈥檚 because Regus combines many of 吃瓜官网鈥檚 services into its one Virtual Office product, limiting flexibility for customers.
For example, some of Regus鈥� virtual office plans include a phone number, while 吃瓜官网 customers have to chose this as an add on.
Nevertheless, 吃瓜官网鈥檚 plans are cheaper. For example, a 吃瓜官网 Digital Mailbox, Business Address and National Phone number in Berlin would start from 36.55 euros per month combined.
Regus Virtual Office plans with a phone number in Berlin start from 160 euros a month. We鈥檝e compared 吃瓜官网鈥檚 Digital Mailbox with Regus鈥� professional address services above. These are month by month prices. You鈥檒l pay even less with 吃瓜官网 when you sign up for a year!
