Digital Nomad Company Base in Austria: Why Vienna Works

You can run an Austrian company from anywhere, because what the company needs is a registered domestic address, not a founder behind a desk. At 1010 Works that base costs from 49 euros per month plus VAT: a registered address at Seitenstettengasse 5/37 in Vienna's first district. Add unlimited mail scans and EU-wide forwarding with postage included from 79 euros, and the company keeps running whether you are in Lisbon, Bangkok or Buenos Aires. Last updated October 2026.

Why does a nomad-run company need a fixed base?

Because an Austrian company must have a registered business address in Austria, and banks, clients and authorities expect that address to be stable and real. A company entered in the Firmenbuch, the Austrian company register, lists this address publicly; it is where official mail arrives and where your website imprint points.

The standard is a real street address, not a PO box. Seitenstettengasse 5/37 sits between Schwedenplatz and Hoher Markt in the first district, an address that also reads well on invoices and contracts. Your own location can change weekly; this anchor does not.

What does a Vienna company base cost per month?

Between 49 and 149 euros per month plus VAT, depending on how much service you need, and with monthly billing every plan cancels monthly:

• Basic (49 euros on annual billing, 59 month to month): registered address for company register and imprint, mail and parcel reception, self-pickup Monday to Sunday.
• Plus (79 or 89 euros): adds unlimited scans, every letter as a PDF by email, plus physical forwarding within the EU on request, postage included.
• Premium (129 or 149 euros): adds forwarding to the rest of Europe with postage included, collection of RSa and RSb registered mail under postal power of attorney, 4 hours of meeting room per month and 6 months of mail service after an address change.

For a location-independent setup, Plus is the usual starting point. How the whole model works is explained on the virtual office page.

How do you handle mail while travelling?

Digitally, by default: from the Plus plan every letter is scanned and lands in your inbox as a PDF, with no limit on volume. You read your mail wherever you are and decide per item whether to archive it, collect it later or have the original forwarded.

From the Plus plan, originals follow you on request to any address within the EU, and with Premium to the rest of Europe too, postage included in both cases, and the destination can change as often as your plans do. Whenever you pass through Vienna, self-pickup works Monday to Sunday via the digital access system. The result: no mail pile waiting at a friend's flat, no letter discovered three months too late.

What about official registered mail?

Austrian authorities send registered mail in two forms, RSa and RSb, and both can be accepted by an authorized representative. In the Premium plan, 1010 Works collects RSa and RSb letters for you from the post office under a postal power of attorney and scans them, so you see the content while travelling. Only items marked “Nicht an Postbevollmächtigte” (not to be handed to authorised representatives) are delivered by the post to you in person exclusively. With Basic and Plus we receive the collection notices, and you collect held items from the post office yourself.

For deadlines this is the decisive point. With scans you see every official letter the moment it is digitized, no matter the time zone. If you are still setting up the company, the company formation guide explains which address you need at which step.

Where do you work when you are in Vienna?

At your own desk, if you want one: a fixed desk in the coworking space costs 269 euros per month, or 249 euros from a three-month term, in a real office with a digital access system and a limited number of desks. For client meetings there is a meeting room on site; the Premium plan includes 4 hours per month.

That turns the legal base into a physical one whenever you need it: land in Vienna, badge in, work, meet clients, fly out again. The rest of the year, the address works for you on its own.

Conclusion

A digital nomad company needs exactly one fixed point: a reliable registered address. Vienna delivers that from 49 euros per month, with unlimited scans and EU-wide forwarding from 79 euros and a desk from 249 euros when you are in town. With monthly billing every address plan cancels monthly, so the setup scales with your travel plans instead of against them. Start with a virtual office in Vienna and run your Austrian company from wherever you are.
