How a Lobi Space digital mailbox gives your business a real Chicago address

If you’re juggling an LLC, a website, and business cards, a simple, reliable solution matters. Lobi Space’s digital mailbox offers a real Chicago street address (not a PO box), plus a secure platform to view, manage, and forward your mail from anywhere.

This post breaks down what it is, how it works, and why it’s one of the smartest, most affordable moves you can make for your business.

What is the Lobi Space business mailbox?

Put plainly: it’s a business mailing address tied to a physical mailbox at Lobi Space, combined with an online dashboard. That means you get the credibility of a Chicago street address for your LLC and marketing, and the convenience of handling mail digitally through your phone or laptop.

A digital mailbox is a secure, cloud-based service that allows you to view and manage your physical business mail — from anywhere. Instead of delivering mail to your home or office, it’s sent to a commercial address (like Lobi Space), scanned, and uploaded to your online account.

You can:

• View incoming mail from your phone or computer
• Request to open & scan, forward, or shred mail
• Receive packages and track shipments
• Keep your home address private and protected

At Lobi Space, we use trusted platforms like Anytime Mailbox to give our members a simple way to manage their mail from wherever they’re working.

How it works — step by step

1. Choose a mailbox plan — pick the level that fits your volume and needs.
2. Set up your account — create your profile with Lobi Space.
3. Complete USPS Form 1583 — this verifies your identity and authorizes Lobi Space to receive mail on your behalf.
4. Mailbox activation — once verified, your Chicago street address is active and ready for use.
5. Manage digitally — use the platform to view, request scans, or forward items wherever you are.

Benefits of using a business mailbox
