Legitimacy as a Service
Home-based businesses face a critical credibility problem. A residential address on your CIPC registration, invoices, or tender submissions signals "high risk" to procurement officers, banks, and corporate clients.
In South Africa's fraud-sensitive environment, your address is your first impression. A PO Box or home address can disqualify you before anyone reads your technical proposal.
Second Office solves this: We give you the professional business address that opens doors.
1 Cavendish Road, Vincent: a credible commercial address that satisfies CIPC registration, bank FICA requirements, and tender compliance.
Official lease documentation that proves commercial occupancy – required for CIPC registration, business banking, and tender submissions.
We receive, scan, and notify you immediately. Secure storage for physical documents. Never miss critical correspondence.
Commercial zoning compliance documentation that eliminates tender disqualification risk for operating from "inappropriate business premises."

Upon cancellation, your right to use the Second Office address ends immediately. You must:
Any mail received after cancellation will be returned to sender. Continued use of the address after cancellation is a breach of contract and may result in legal action.
We understand that address changes take time. That's why we recommend our quarterly billing option (save R300!) if you're planning to use the service long-term.
We don't offer paused subscriptions, but you can cancel and re-subscribe anytime with no setup fees. However, you cannot use the address during any period when you're not actively subscribed.
If you're experiencing temporary cash flow issues, contact us. We may be able to arrange a payment plan rather than cancellation.
We understand that some businesses primarily need the address for compliance purposes. However, the address remains our property and requires ongoing subscription to use legally.
Our quarterly billing (R749/month, paid R2,247 every 3 months) provides better value if you plan to maintain the address long-term for CIPC and banking compliance.
