The Profile Inc.

The Profile Inc. is a lifestyle coworking community and work space that inspires meaningful encounters and connections, located in Vancouver, Ottawa, and North Vancouver. It offers virtual office services, mailbox rentals, and registered agent services for businesses seeking a professional image without renting a full-time office. The company has been operating since 2009 and serves clients across Canada.

The company operates four prestigious physical locations: 408-55 Water Street in Gastown, 205-50 Lonsdale Ave in North Vancouver, 112-970 Burrard Street in downtown Vancouver, and 601-222 Somerset Street West in Ottawa. These are real commercial buildings, not PO Boxes, chosen for their architectural significance and business district prestige.

Pricing starts at $45 per month for the Essential Virtual Address plan, which includes 30 letter items per month and immediate open scan services. Higher volume options include the $75 per month Digital Mailbox plan with 50 items and workflow management, while the Registered Agent Office Plan costs $228 annually.

The process begins by choosing a plan that fits your needs, such as the $45 per month Essential plan for publishing an address or the $228 annual Registered Agent plan for incorporation. You then select a prestigious location and can immediately start using the address for business registration, banking, or mail handling with same-day service options.

The business is designed for companies needing a professional address in Canada without the overhead of a full-time office, including startups, remote teams, and established firms expanding their presence. It specifically suits those requiring registered agent services for compliance with BC and Ontario corporate laws.

The Registered Agent Services Plan costs $228 annually and includes acting as your official records office and Registered Agent for BC and Ontario corporations. This plan also covers CRA, MSB, and FINTRAC registrations to ensure full compliance with corporate bylaws.

The Digital Mailbox plan offers immediate open scan services where letters are scanned to PDF or image format on the same day. Additional features include 90-day document storage, commercial shredding, and the ability to manage mail digitally from anywhere.

The company has been operating since 2009, establishing itself as a pioneer in the coworking and virtual office space industry. It has grown to serve over 10,000 customers with a focus on digitizing business addresses and mail to reduce operational complexity.

Some reviewers on Trustburn say the products are of the highest quality and the customer service is exceptional, making it a top recommendation. Others note that the website is easy to use and the checkout process is quick, leading to repeat purchases.

The company states that it does not outsource or resell its services, meaning only its own staff securely handles and manages your mail. This core focus ensures a dedicated team manages every aspect of the service directly.

Common doubts addressed include whether the address is a real building or a PO Box, which the company clarifies is a real physical commercial building. Another concern is bank acceptance, which the FAQ confirms for major Canadian banks like RBC, TD, BMO, and Scotiabank.

The company offers a Custom Commercial Office Agreement for a one-time $45 fee to serve as proof of address for compliance purposes when opening corporate bank accounts. This document is accepted by major banks to satisfy their requirements.
