Do not treat every address as the same thing
| Record | Purpose | Question to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Registered agent or office | Legal contact for company records and service of process. | Is the service included and correctly recorded? |
| Mailing address | Receives tax notices and company correspondence. | Can government and bank mail be received reliably? |
| Business location | Represents where the company carries out its activity. | Does the selected plan permit that use? |
| Permit location | Used for permit and municipal analysis. | Does the company activity fit the property and municipality? |
Required and requested evidence
Use truthful, consistent information in Department of State, SURI, municipal, permit, banking, and decree records. Determine which registrations and permits apply to the company’s activity and municipality, then update legally relevant records after a move.
- May be requested: a lease or coworking membership agreement.
- May be requested: a commercial reference letter and mail-receipt evidence.
- May be requested: occupancy, permit, municipal, photo, or plan documentation.
- Required: follow the application team’s current format rather than a generic provider template.
Evaluate a virtual office before signing
- Can the address be used in company and government records?
- Can it receive government and bank mail?
- Is a commercial reference letter included?
- Is registered-agent service included or separate?
- Is the plan suitable for the intended permit?
- Are meeting rooms or physical access included?
- What happens to mail and records after a plan or location change?
Piloto 151 as one option
Piloto 151’s Old San Juan page listed a Virtual Starter plan at $79 per month when checked on September 1, 2026. The page listed registered-agent service as a separate $15-per-month add-on. A commercial address, virtual mailbox, and documents for permitting can be useful, but current plan terms and permit suitability still require confirmation.
Set up the location in the right order
- 1
Define the activity
Confirm the company’s business description and NAICS classification.
- 2
Ask what evidence is needed
Have the CPA or lawyer identify the address, permit, and commercial-reference requirements.
- 3
Check the proposed location
Confirm the municipality, property use, provider plan, mail support, and permit suitability before signing.
- 4
Complete the records
Finish SURI, municipal, permit, company, and application records using consistent information.
Consider the home-address tradeoffs
A residence may be usable in some circumstances, but it can create public-record privacy concerns, more paperwork after a move, property-use questions, difficulty producing a commercial reference, and less separation between personal and business records.
Common questions
- Does every Act 60 business need a private office?
- Not necessarily. The suitable location and evidence depend on the company activity, municipality, permit analysis, application, and decree.
- Is a virtual office automatically Act 60 compliant?
- No. Confirm that the plan supports the intended company records, mail, commercial-reference, physical-use, and permit needs.
- Can I use my home address?
- It may be possible in some circumstances, but privacy, property use, permit suitability, future moves, and application evidence should be reviewed first.
- Does Piloto 151 include registered-agent service?
- The Old San Juan page listed registered-agent service as a $15-per-month add-on to its virtual plans when checked on September 1, 2026. Confirm the current price and terms before signing because the base plan and add-on can change.
- What should I obtain from a coworking provider?
- Depending on the application and registration work, you may need a signed agreement, mail access, a commercial reference, and location or occupancy information.
