Remote Company Base in Vienna: Address and Setup

A remote company still needs a fixed legal address, because company registers, imprints and official mail all require a physical location. In Vienna, that base costs from 49 euros per month plus VAT, with mail reception included and digital scans of every letter available from the mid-tier plan. Your team works from anywhere; your company sits in the first district. Here is how to set it up, as of October 2026.

Why does a remote company need a physical address?

Because the legal system does not recognise "fully remote": every Austrian company must name a real, deliverable address. Three things break without one:

• Registration: the commercial register and trade registration require a physical address, and a PO box does not qualify.
• Imprint and invoicing: every website and invoice must state an address where the company can be reached.
• Official mail: tax office, social insurance, banks and contract partners send paper letters with deadlines attached. Someone has to receive and process them reliably.

Using a founder's home address is the weakest option: it is publicly visible, tied to one person and breaks the moment that person moves or leaves. A neutral business address in Vienna keeps the company's location independent of where anyone lives.

What makes Vienna a good base for a distributed team?

Vienna combines a credible address, central European logistics and low fixed costs, which is exactly what a remote company needs from a base it rarely visits. The address Seitenstettengasse 5/37 sits in the first district, two minutes on foot from the U1/U4 metro station Schwedenplatz, so team members flying in reach it directly from the airport line. An Austrian first-district address also carries weight with banks, clients and authorities across the EU. And because no office lease is involved, the whole setup stays at a fraction of what a single desk in central Vienna would cost.

How does your team receive mail without being there?

Through digital scans, EU-wide forwarding or in-person pickup, depending on the plan. The workflow at 1010.works:

• Scans: from the Plus plan (89 euros per month, 79 with annual billing), all incoming mail is scanned without limits. Whoever handles your admin sees every letter the day it arrives, from any timezone.
• Forwarding: from the Plus plan (89 euros per month, 79 annually), we forward anywhere in the EU on request, and with Premium to the rest of Europe too, postage included, for documents you need physically, such as originals for banks or notaries.
• Pickup: possible Monday to Sunday whenever someone from the team is in Vienna.

In the Premium plan we collect registered RSa and RSb letters from authorities for you from the post office under a postal power of attorney, so deadlines do not depend on anyone being in the country. Only items marked “Nicht an Postbevollmächtigte” (not to be handed to authorised representatives) are delivered by the post to the addressee in person exclusively. The mail forwarding service page covers the full process.

What does a Vienna base cost for a remote company?

The address itself costs between 49 and 149 euros per month plus VAT. For remote teams, the digital tiers matter most: Basic (59 euros monthly, 49 annually) covers the address and mail reception, Plus (89/79 euros) adds unlimited scans and EU forwarding, and Premium (149/129 euros) completes the setup with forwarding to the rest of Europe, RSa and RSb collection and 4 hours of meeting room use per month. With monthly billing every plan is cancellable monthly, with no deposit and no lease.

If individual team members work from Vienna regularly, you can add a permanent desk: a fixed desk at the same first-district location costs 269 euros per month, or 249 euros from a 3-month term, via coworking in Vienna.

Where do you meet clients and your own team?

In the meeting room at the company address: the Premium plan includes 4 hours per month, and additional time is available on request. That gives a distributed team a professional, central venue for client meetings, interviews or quarterly team days without maintaining an office. Everyone arrives via Schwedenplatz, meets in the first district and goes back to working from anywhere.

Conclusion

Remote work and a fixed company address are not in conflict; the address is what lets the team stay flexible. From 49 euros per month, your company gets a stable first-district base in Vienna, with unlimited mail scans from the Plus plan, and Premium covering registered mail and 4 monthly meeting room hours. No lease, no deposit, cancellable monthly with monthly billing.

Give your distributed company a fixed base: set up a virtual office in Vienna from 49 euros per month at Seitenstettengasse 5/37, 1010 Vienna.
