MBE in Croatia also offers business address registration (virtual office) and mailbox rental services for small and micro businesses.

At any MBE center, clients can rent their own mailbox, with MBE handling the receipt and storage of all mail—even items larger than the mailbox. The service includes notifications of incoming mail and forwarding of shipments to a desired address.

If needed, MBE can deliver mail to an authorized person, and even open and scan your mail, sending the contents via email.

Virtual Office

By combining mailbox rental with a registered address, an MBE center becomes a full virtual office for the client.

Clients can use the MBE center’s internet corner (computer with internet access), printers, and other office services.

Since MBE offices are often located in prestigious city-center locations, registering an address at an MBE center enhances your business image—especially with international partners—compared to using a home address.

A professional business address significantly improves the image of an online store, as customers often check whether a store has a valid address before purchasing. A prestigious address in a business district creates the impression of an established company, helping to build trust.

Platforms like Google, Shopify, and Amazon require a valid seller address, so a virtual address allows you to meet this requirement.

How to set up a virtual office

1. Choose an MBE center in your city (e.g., Osijek, Zagreb, Split) where you want to open your virtual office.
2. Rent a mailbox and register an address. By applying for a mailbox, you receive a physical MBE center address that can also serve as your official business address. The service includes mail and package handling.
3. Activate mail forwarding and set up notifications (email or SMS) for incoming mail.

Dropshipping

What is dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a business model in which an online retailer doesn’t keep products in stock. Instead, each ordered item is shipped directly from the supplier or manufacturer to the customer.

When a customer places an order, it’s forwarded to the supplier, who packs and ships the product directly to the buyer. In this model, the online retailer acts as a middleman.

Dropshipping involves constant exchange of packages and documentation between suppliers and customers. The online retailer earns profit by marking up the product price.

A virtual office or mailbox centralizes this mail. All invoices, contracts, and return packages arrive at the business address, where they are sorted and forwarded—saving time and reducing the risk of lost documents.

A major benefit for dropshippers is managing returns. Many use local mailboxes as return addresses to make it easier for customers to send items back.

Dropshipping entrepreneurs often operate from home or while traveling. A reliable business address is essential for receiving invoices, documents, and returns. A virtual office or mailbox service ensures that all business correspondence arrives at the official company address, making operations easier to track.

Additionally, using such an address protects the owner’s private information. It replaces a home address, preventing personal details from being publicly exposed and reducing the risk of identity theft.

Legal and regulatory benefits

Registering a company requires a valid business address. Virtual office services provide this, offering a professional address in a business district that can be listed in the Court Register or on banking documents.

A virtual office can serve as your company’s registered address, fully compliant with the laws of the country in which you operate. It also ensures the address is separate from your home, keeping your private information confidential.

Separating addresses protects the entrepreneur’s personal data and maintains a clear distinction between business and personal responsibilities.

With mailbox rental, mail forwarding, and official address registration, an MBE center becomes your professional virtual office. Wherever you are, all your mail arrives in one secure location, and you can decide—through simple instructions—whether to forward, hold, or return a shipment. Everything stays under your control, no matter where you are.
