Legal Framework: Are Virtual Offices Allowed in India?
Are virtual offices legal for company registration?
Yes, virtual offices are 100% legal for company registration under MCA guidelines. They must provide proper address-proof documents.
GoFloaters ensures that the partner brand you select provides MCA-compliant NOCs, lease agreements, and utility bills in proper format. Because GoFloaters works with established, audit-friendly providers, ROC verifications happen smoothly and founders avoid the common pitfalls seen with non-compliant vendors.
How does GoFloaters assist with ROC physical verification?
We coordinate directly with the partner brand to prep for inspection. This ensures a smooth verification process.
GoFloaters confirms nameboard installation, access, and meeting room readiness with the chosen provider. Our team also guides founders on what ROC officers typically look for, helping avoid the most common rejection reasons that occur when dealing with inexperienced providers.
How important is the building type for virtual office compliance?
Very important — it must be a genuine commercial property. Residential or shady mixed-use spaces are high-risk.
GoFloaters only works with branded business centers, coworking spaces, and compliant commercial buildings. These locations are already familiar to inspectors and banks, which makes verifications smoother. Founders avoid the risk of rejection that comes from registering in informal apartments or unapproved locations marketed cheaply as “virtual offices.”
How does GoFloaters make it easy to track all virtual office documents over time?
We act as a single point of reference for your addresses and paperwork. You’re not left managing scattered email threads.
GoFloaters maintains clear records of what was issued by which provider and when. If you ever misplace a lease, NOC, or utility proof, we help you quickly retrieve or reissue it from the provider. This continuity is crucial when you’re dealing with authorities who ask for older documents years later.
