Being able to conduct business from anywhere in the world right now is critical. When do you launch your business idea or innovate in order to grow, and how? Especially now? These are questions that every entrepreneur asks. While there is little certainty around how we all come out of COVID-19, one thing is for certain: entrepreneurs don’t give up easily - they figure out how to innovate.

Now is the time to establish a presence for your business. Sip and Ship has the tools and the infrastructure to help you innovate and simplify your business through our virtual mail and business services. You get a REAL physical mailing address (not a PO Box) for your business. We receive your mail locally and you open it digitally from a computer or mobile device from anywhere in the world. Consider Sip and Ship your mailroom and business communications center. We notify you via email when you receive a piece of mail, package, or check and you instruct us on whether you want it shredded, forwarded, or deposited. Essentially, you have a business support team at your disposal to help you drive your business without costly overhead. Having a virtual mailbox with Sip and Ship is an easy, convenient, and innovative way to run your business no matter where business may take you.

Shreya Ley, President and Lawyer-Human of LayRoots, says about Sip and Ship, "My husband and I are business owners, we love to travel, and, since we're attorneys, we often get mail that is important to our business and our clients. We want to make sure that this mail is handled by real people that we can talk to and trust. We have been so happy with how personable and professional the Sip and Ship staff has been in ensuring that any business and personal mail gets to us. We can access it while traveling and we know that we can talk to a real person if anything ever comes up."
