Abstract
The paper focuses on the issue of virtual organizations which can be also called as virtual offices, enterprises registered at virtual addresses etc. The paper solves several goals. First this contribution supports other findings that the number of this kind of businesses is significant in the Czech Republic. Second the legal environment is discussed. Then different reasons for using the virtual address are mentioned. These reasons are presented as legal and economic aspects. The paper tries to uncover enterprise incentives for the virtual address choice. The classical incentives are presented in the literature. Some incentives could be valid only for the specific national conditions. This paper uses available data as a support for its statements which should explain the current importance of the virtual addresses in the Czech Republic.
