Power City Spaces offers two virtual office plans:
Basic — $99/month: US business address, mail & envelope receipt, email notification, pickup during staffed hours, and package/parcel storage (Amazon, UPS, FedEx, DHL & others) for up to 1 week. $5/package/month after 1 week.

Yes. A real commercial US business address like 225 Old Falls Street is one of the key requirements most US banks use to verify a business's US presence. Many of our Canadian members use their Power City Spaces address when applying to open US business bank accounts. Requirements vary by bank, so we recommend confirming specifics with your financial institution before applying.
No. You do not need a US business entity to use our virtual office service. Many clients sign up for a US address first and then use that address when forming their US LLC or corporation. Others simply want a US mailing address for clients, US vendors, or regulatory requirements without forming a separate US entity. We accommodate both cases.
Canadian businesses expanding into the US typically need a US address for several reasons:
• Opening a US bank account — most US banks require a verifiable US business address
• Registering a US LLC or corporation — many states require a US address for business formation
• Building US client credibility — a US address signals a committed American presence
• Receiving US government and regulatory mail — IRS correspondence, state filings, etc.
• Holding meetings on US soil — some contracts or regulations require US-based meetings
• Amazon, eBay, Stripe, and other US platforms — many require a US business address to sell or receive payments
225 Old Falls Street is a real commercial suite in a business building — not a PO Box or mailbox store — which meets the type of address requirement used by most business registration systems. For US-facing registrations, this address qualifies as a valid commercial business address. For CRA-specific questions about whether a US address meets their requirements for your particular situation, we recommend consulting a Canadian accountant or cross-border tax advisor.
Getting started is straightforward. You'll need:
• A completed service agreement (we provide this)
• Government-issued photo ID
• Business registration documents (if signing up as a business entity)
• First month's payment
Canadian passports and driver's licenses are accepted. You do not need a US ID to sign up. Contact us and we'll walk you through the process — setup typically takes less than 24 hours.
Cross the Rainbow Bridge (Falls Avenue, Niagara Falls ON) into Niagara Falls, NY — we are approximately a 4-minute drive from the US side of the bridge.
