Quick Answer

What is a virtual office in Chicago? A virtual office provides a professional Loop business address and mail handling at a real commercial building — without a lease. Amata's plans add full building access, a 800-member professional community, discounted conference rooms, and optional live reception, from $205/month.

What Is a Virtual Office — and What Makes Amata Different?

What is a virtual office?
A professional business address, mail handling, and on-demand workspace at a commercial building — without a full-time lease. You get a real street address for registration, banking, and correspondence, plus access to meeting rooms when you need them.
What is Virtual Office Plus?
Amata's most comprehensive plan — everything in Virtual Office, plus 2 free private office days per month and 204 Amata Coins monthly for conference rooms, day offices, and paralegal or admin support at a 32% discount. Coins roll over monthly.
How is a virtual office different from a P.O. box?
A virtual office provides a real commercial street address at a staffed office building — accepted for LLC registration, IRS filings, and Google Business Profile. A P.O. box is a postal box, not a street address, and is rejected for most business registration purposes.
What are Amata Coins?
Amata Coins are available to all Amata clients and can be purchased at any time. Virtual Office Plus members receive 204 coins automatically each month — equivalent to a 32% discount on conference rooms, day offices, and support labor. Applying those coins reduces the effective monthly cost of Virtual Office Plus to $164/month. Coins roll over monthly.

A virtual office provides a professional business address and mail handling at a real commercial Loop building — without a traditional office lease. Amata's plans start at $205/month pre-paid annually and include full building access at five locations, a professional community of 800+ members, discounted conference rooms, and optional live reception.

A virtual office provides a real commercial street address at a recognized, staffed office building — accepted for LLC registration, IRS filings, business banking, and Google Business Profile. A P.O. box is a postal box, not a street address, and is rejected for most business registration purposes. Amata's addresses are physical commercial buildings, not P.O. boxes.
Yes. All Amata plans — Business Address, Virtual Office, and Virtual Office Plus — provide a legitimate Chicago Loop commercial street address accepted for Illinois LLC registration, IRS filings, business banking, and Google Business Profile verification. Amata's addresses are real commercial buildings, not P.O. boxes. Hundreds of organizations have used Amata addresses for registration since 2002.

Includes live answering Mon–Fri 7am–6pm, customizable greetings, call screening, a business phone line, voicemail, and a phone app.
On a 12-month plan, months 1 and 2 are free — your service and address are active immediately and the first two months cost nothing. You pay for 10 months and receive 12. If you elect to pre-pay for the full year, month 3 is also free — months 1, 2, and 3 require no payment, and you pay for 9 months total. The free months are front-loaded so you can establish your presence, build into the Amata community, and start using your Loop address before your first invoice arrives. Applies to Virtual Office and Virtual Office Plus. Business Address excluded. Month-to-month plans available at standard rates.
Amata is locally owned and has operated in Chicago since 2002 — you are not a number in a national system.

Amata's average client tenure is 85 months — no national competitor publishes a comparable figure.
Yes. You can upgrade your plan at any time — changes take effect on your next billing cycle with no penalty. Many clients start with Business Address and upgrade once they experience the community and realize the value of full building access. Contact our team and we handle the rest.
Annual Virtual Office plans require a 12-month term and renew annually. Month-to-month plans are available separately at standard rates and may be canceled with 1 calendar month written notice. No cancellation penalties apply on month-to-month plans.
