Direct answer: can you use 2727 for Wise Business?
It depends entirely on which address field Wise is verifying and what the business really does at 2727. Wise collects a registered address and a trading address for every business. The registered address is the official address shown on the business-registration record. The trading address is the physical place where the business is actually run day to day. Wise says those addresses may differ and that a coworking space can be a trading address. In the same guidance, however, it excludes a PO box, a mail-forwarding or mail-receiving service, a virtual office, a lawyer’s office and a business-registration agency from the trading-address field. [1]
That distinction determines whether 2727 is a fit. A 2727 business-address or mailbox plan may document a genuine right to receive mail and may support a registered-address role when the entity is legally entitled to register there. It does not show that people run the business there every day. A 2727 service agreement is not a residential lease, commercial lease, utility bill or Wise approval. Do not submit a mail-only relationship as a coworking operation and do not call the agreement a lease.
If the founder or team genuinely works from a desk or office at 2727 and the arrangement is current, the location may fit Wise’s definition of a coworking trading address. That still does not prove that Wise will accept the document you have. Wise publishes a specific list of trading-address documents and asks for a current, signed lease or rental agreement when that category is used. A general address-service agreement is not named on the list. Ask Wise whether the exact document issued under the actual workspace arrangement will satisfy the request before paying for a plan or changing a registry. [1]
Use the address-role checker before applying, the document guide to separate each proof, and the non-resident guide if any owner, director or operator lives outside Canada.
The four addresses that applicants most often collapse into one
Wise’s labels sit beside Canadian and Quebec labels that sound similar but answer different questions. Treat them as separate records until a source explicitly says they can be the same.
| Address role | What it answers | 2727 fit | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wise registered address | Where the entity is officially registered and what appears on its official registration document | Potentially, if the entity is legally entitled to use 2727 for that role and the current registry actually shows it | Daily operations, owner residence, document acceptance or account approval |
| Wise trading address | Where the business is physically run day to day | Only for a genuine coworking or workspace operation at 2727, not a mail-only plan | A mailbox, mail forwarding, virtual office or registration-agent relationship cannot be relabelled as trading |
| Mailing address | Where correspondence is received | A core use of a staffed mail plan, subject to the agreement and sender’s rules | It is not automatically Wise’s registered or trading address |
| Personal residential address | Where the individual actually lives | Never, unless the person genuinely lives there, which 2727 does not offer | A company address, mailbox or coworking membership is not home-address proof |
Wise’s personal proof-of-address page requires the account holder’s full home address and rejects proofs issued to a business. It also says that where a country distinguishes registered from residential addresses, the personal Wise profile should use the residential address. [7]
The Canada-specific rule is sharper: Wise’s business-address page says a Canadian personal residential address cannot be the same as the registered business address. The public article does not publish an exception for a Canadian sole proprietor, a home-based corporation or a founder who owns the home. Follow the field-level instruction shown in the application, and ask Wise how it applies to the exact legal form before changing either record. [1]
Decision tree: choose the role before choosing the document
- Is Wise asking for the person’s home address? Use the person’s real residence and a personal document Wise accepts. Stop: 2727 is not suitable.
- Is Wise asking for the business’s registered address? Read the current corporate or enterprise register. If it does not show 2727, do not upload a 2727 document as if it did. If it does show 2727, use the official record Wise asks for and keep the service agreement only as supplementary evidence of the rights it actually grants.
- Is Wise asking for the trading address? Identify where work is performed, decisions are made, customers are served, inventory is handled or the service is delivered on a normal working day. If that is a home, office, shop or studio elsewhere, use that location.
- Does the business genuinely operate from workspace at 2727? If yes, a coworking address can fit Wise’s definition. Confirm that the specific occupancy document is on Wise’s accepted list and meets the date, signature and format rules. A mail plan alone does not pass this branch.
- Is the request merely for correspondence? A 2727 mail plan may fit the operational mailing need, but Wise does not list “mailing address” as a substitute for its trading-address field.
- Are the registered and trading addresses in different countries? Wise says this can be acceptable, but it verifies the trading address and can offer only services available in both countries. [1] [2]
- Is the physical trading country supported for Wise Business? Wise says it cannot accept a trading address in an unsupported country. Check the current country result during onboarding rather than treating a general availability list as a business-eligibility guarantee. [1]
- Do the entity, people, activity or country trigger another restriction? Resolve that before buying address services. An address cannot cure an unsupported business type, prohibited activity, bearer shares, inaccessible location or unverifiable owner. [3] [4]
What Wise actually collects during business verification
Wise says onboarding generally begins with a business registration number, registered and trading addresses, industry, online presence, directors and owners, plus personal information about the person opening the account. If that person is not a director, Wise may request evidence of authority such as a signed authorization letter, power of attorney or board resolution. An initial automated review can be followed by a specialist request for documents. [2]
Common follow-up categories include an incorporation certificate, articles or official registry excerpt; trading-address proof; ownership records; and personal ID for the administrator and potentially other directors or owners. Wise tells applicants to wait for its email or in-account prompt and use the secure upload route instead of sending unsolicited sensitive documents. It says an additional review usually takes up to ten working days. [2]
The practical consequence is that one “proof of address” cannot carry the entire file. A registry excerpt can establish an official entity record. A trading-address document can support a location. A passport can identify a person. A shareholder register can map ownership. Each item should do one job.
Evidence matrix for a Canadian or Quebec business
| Wise question | Strong source category | Published Wise rule | How 2727 should be described |
|---|---|---|---|
| What entity is applying? | Certificate, articles and fresh official registry excerpt | Wise may request proof of business registration | 2727 does not create or identify the entity |
| What is the registered address? | Official Canadian, federal or Quebec registration record | It should be the officially registered address on the record | Use 2727 only if the entity is entitled to do so and the record truthfully shows it |
| Where does the business trade? | Accepted document showing the actual physical day-to-day location | Physical office, home, shop, studio or genuine coworking space; not mail-only or virtual | Say “coworking/workspace” only when work genuinely occurs there |
| Who owns and controls it? | Shareholder register, operating agreement, partnership deed and ownership chart | Wise may verify directors, owners and ultimate beneficial owners | The address service proves nothing about ownership |
| Who may open the account? | Corporate resolution, authorization letter or power of attorney | Evidence may be needed when the applicant is not a director | A mailbox agreement does not grant banking authority |
| Where does the individual live? | Personal, residential evidence | Must match the personal Wise profile; business-issued proofs are rejected | Never use 2727 as a founder’s residence |
| Where should mail arrive? | Mail-service agreement and current delivery instructions | Separate operational question; not a trading-address substitute | This is the clearest role for a 2727 mailbox plan |
| What does the company do? | Website, contracts, invoices, licences and plain-language activity explanation | Wise collects industry and online-presence information | A Montreal address does not create Canadian activity |
Trading-address documents: names, dates, signatures and formats
Wise’s English business-address page says the uploaded photo or PDF must clearly show the business or business owner’s name, the full trading address, the issue date and the sender’s name or logo. It accepts PDF, JPEG and PNG. For the trading-address workflow, it lists utilities, a lease or rental agreement, bank or card statements, government-issued business licences or registration documents, tax records, business insurance and council tax records. Mobile-phone bills are excluded. [1]
The same English page applies these age rules:
| Document category | Published maximum age or condition |
|---|---|
| Business licence or registration document | Less than 3 months old |
| Gas, electricity, broadband/internet or landline bill | Less than 3 months old; no mobile bill |
| Bank or credit-card statement | Less than 3 months old; Wise says it does not accept Mercury statements |
| Lease or rental agreement | Current and signed by the applicant and landlord |
| Tax document or business insurance policy | Less than 12 months old |
| File | PDF, JPEG or PNG, high quality and complete |
There is a material localization discrepancy. The French version reviewed on the same date places utility bills and bank statements in the three-month group, then describes other records, including permits, as less than twelve months old. The English page places business licences and registration documents in the three-month group. Because the two official localizations do not align perfectly, follow the age rule displayed in the live Canadian upload request and obtain written clarification if the only record falls between three and twelve months old. [1] [18]
A 2727 service agreement should be uploaded only if Wise requests or confirms that document category. It is not the “lease or rental agreement” described by Wise merely because it is signed and has an address. If the customer actually occupies workspace under a different document, identify that document by its real legal title and ask Wise whether it qualifies.
Image and completeness rules that cause avoidable rejections
Wise says unreadable documents must be rejected. The whole document should appear in frame, without glare, fingers, blur or grain. It rejects copies of photocopies and advises taking a new image of the original when identity documents are involved. [8]
Where information appears on both sides, both sides must be uploaded. Wise checks legal-name spelling, expiry date and date of birth for identity documents, and it may reject an ID if the machine-readable zone is cut off. [9]
For trading-address evidence, run this pre-upload check:
- The legal or accepted trading name matches the Wise profile.
- The complete civic address, unit and postal code match the trading-address field character for character.
- The issue date is visible and within the applicable Wise window.
- The issuer’s name or logo is visible.
- Every page and both sides, when relevant, are present.
- The file is a supported PDF, JPEG or PNG.
- No Social Insurance Number, Social Security number or other avoidable sensitive identifier is exposed; Wise expressly names an SSN as a rejection reason on the business-address page. [1]
- The document category is actually on Wise’s list or was specifically requested.
Canada personal verification is a separate workflow
Wise’s Canada verification page concerns a person using a Canadian address. It says Wise requests two different Canadian-issued documents and, for a Quebec resident, one extra document. The accepted information combinations cover name plus a confirmed financial account, name plus residential address, and name plus date of birth. Quebec residents must provide valid government-issued photo ID. [6]
For that Canada-specific personal flow, Wise says it accepts the most recent versions and that documents cannot be older than one year, except valid ID. It accepts a provider-downloaded PDF, scan, photo or screenshot of the full document, but not a photograph of a screen displaying a digital document. [6]
Do not import that one-year limit into the business trading-address flow. Do not import the business page’s three-month utility rule into a Canada prompt that expressly invokes the Canadian personal-document rule without checking the live request. The account screen and request email identify the workflow that controls.
Wise’s general personal-address page is also distinct. It asks for full name, full home address, issue date and issuer, normally places utilities, bank statements and council-tax bills within three months, and rejects PO-box addresses, mobile bills, Wise statements, Wise receipts and address evidence issued to a business. [7]
Quebec and CRA records do not redefine Wise’s trading address
The Quebec enterprise register calls a legal person’s domicile its head-office address. For a natural person operating a sole proprietorship, the domicile is that person’s home. For a partnership or association, it is the principal establishment. Quebec separately defines an elected domicile for service of documents, a professional address for a natural person’s main place of work or business, and establishments where an enterprise conducts activities. [13]
These fields should not be translated mechanically into Wise labels. A Quebec corporation’s registered domicile may map to Wise’s registered address when it appears on the official record. An elected domicile is designed for document delivery and does not prove a Wise trading location. A Quebec establishment may be relevant to activity, but a registry declaration alone is not evidence that a particular Wise-accepted document exists.
The Canada Revenue Agency separately records physical, mailing and books-and-records addresses. CRA says the physical address is the business or head office where day-to-day activities take place and excludes PO boxes from that field. It expressly permits a different mailing address and separately requests the location of books and records when different. [12]
This makes the consistency test more useful than blind uniformity. Different addresses can be legitimate when each system’s role is accurately labelled. A contradiction arises when one address is described to Wise as daily operations, to CRA as mail only and to the Quebec register as elected domicile without a factual explanation.
When a coworking space is genuinely the trading address
Wise’s sentence that a trading address “can also be a co-working space” is not a blanket approval of every coworking-branded product. It follows immediately after Wise defines the field as the place where the business actually runs day to day. Read the two statements together. [1]
Facts that support a genuine coworking operation can include a current desk or office right, regular access, people actually performing work there, a stable rather than temporary arrangement, business records tied to that activity and an accepted document naming the correct party and address. None of those facts alone guarantees acceptance; they simply address the operational definition.
Facts that point the other way include mail receipt as the only purchased service, no workspace access, no one in Montreal, a founder who works entirely from another country, a temporary day pass, occasional meeting-room use, or an agreement that never grants occupancy. Calling those arrangements “coworking” does not change the underlying facts.
Wise’s account-editing page reinforces permanence: a trading address should be a permanent physical address, and PO boxes, virtual addresses, hotels and Airbnbs are not accepted for that role. [10]
What 2727 can legitimately provide—and when it is wrong
Potentially suitable uses
- A staffed Montreal civic address for receiving business mail under the selected service terms.
- A private mailbox and related mail handling documented by a signed service agreement.
- A registered-address relationship where the entity is legally entitled to use the address, the agreement authorizes that use and the appropriate official record has been truthfully updated.
- A real coworking or workspace location when the subscribed product and actual conduct mean the business operates there, subject to Wise accepting the specific proof.
Uses 2727 should refuse or redirect
- Replacing an owner’s or administrator’s home address.
- Describing mail receipt as day-to-day business operations.
- Issuing or describing the standard service agreement as a lease.
- Promising that Wise accepts 2727 or that opening will succeed.
- Creating a registry entry solely to make an application screen pass when the legal role is not true.
- Helping an applicant hide an unsupported country, prohibited activity, bearer-share structure, undisclosed owner or source of funds.
- Treating a meeting-room booking, day pass or occasional visit as a permanent trading location.
If the required role is personal residence, a conventional lease, a utility account or daily operations elsewhere, 2727 is the wrong product for that proof. A clear refusal is safer than a document that later creates contradictions across Wise, CRA and the register.
Foreign founders and non-resident boundaries
Wise says registered and trading addresses may be in different countries and that it will verify the trading address. Its broader verification page adds that when those countries differ, only services available in both countries can be offered. This supports a cross-border address structure; it does not promise that every foreign owner, foreign entity or country combination is eligible. [1] [2]
Wise says the physical trading address must be in a country where Wise Business is supported. Its country page lists locations where Wise services cannot be used and warns that access from an unsupported location can lead to temporary restriction, cancelled transactions and requests for more information. [1] [4]
Canada appears on Wise’s list of places where a resident can hold money. That is useful evidence of Canadian product availability, not proof that a non-resident owner can open a Canadian business profile, that every Canadian legal form qualifies or that every feature is available. Wise also says older accounts can retain different features from new accounts. [5]
Wise’s business-eligibility page names sole traders and freelancers, limited and public companies, partnerships, and trusts in Canada and certain other regions. It excludes trusts elsewhere, bearer-share businesses and named prohibited sectors or connections. It also says the onboarding flow will tell the applicant whether businesses in the country are supported. [3]
Quebec registration is another independent layer. A legal person formed outside Quebec that carries on activity in Quebec generally must register within 60 days of beginning those activities. A foreign entity with no Quebec domicile, professional address or establishment must declare a representative in Quebec even if it declares an elected domicile, and the filing must correspond to information in the other jurisdiction’s register. [14]
Those Quebec rules do not turn mail service into Quebec activity and do not determine Wise eligibility. Likewise, an NEQ, federal corporation number, CRA Business Number or 2727 address does not create Canadian residence for an owner.
Owners, directors and the person opening the account
Wise may ask for key people during onboarding and ownership documents in a specialist review. Its UBO guidance says it seeks people who exercise ultimate board control or own or control at least 25% of shares or voting rights, and may need to verify their identity depending on the registration region. Accepted UBO ID must show the person’s name, photo and date of birth. [11]
FINTRAC’s current beneficial-ownership guidance similarly reaches natural persons who directly or indirectly own or control at least 25% of a corporation or another entity. It warns that official records may not reveal the ultimate people and that multiple layers may have to be traced. [16]
FINTRAC’s permitted methods explain the regulatory floor, not Wise’s exact product policy. For example, an equivalent foreign-government photo ID can be used under the prescribed photo-ID method, and remote verification is possible with a process that authenticates the document and matches the person. That does not force Wise to accept every passport, remote method or country. [15]
Prepare a people schedule with each person’s legal name, role, direct and indirect ownership, control basis, date of birth, country of residence, nationality, true residential address and current ID. Keep the entity’s 2727 relationship out of the residential column.
Eight realistic scenarios
1. Quebec consultant works from a Montreal home and receives mail at 2727
The likely truthful mapping is: registered address at the place legally recorded, trading address at the home where the consulting work occurs, mailing address at 2727, and personal residence at the home. Because Wise states that a Canadian personal address cannot equal the registered business address, confirm how the rule applies before finalizing the profile. The 2727 agreement proves only the mail and authorized registered-address rights it states.
2. Small team works regularly from a dedicated space at 2727
2727 may be the genuine trading address because the business operates there. Ask Wise which document proves that exact arrangement. Do not assume the available agreement is a lease; submit it under its actual title only if Wise accepts it.
3. Foreign founder owns a Quebec corporation but everyone works abroad
The Quebec registered address may be 2727 if legally valid, while the trading address is the real foreign operating location. Wise permits different registered and trading countries in principle, but the trading country must be supported and only overlapping services may be available. The founder still provides a true foreign residence.
4. Founder buys only mail receipt and selects “coworking” in Wise
This is a mismatch. Wise’s coworking allowance is tied to actual day-to-day operations. Correct the field to the real operating location or obtain a genuine workspace arrangement and use it honestly.
5. Ecommerce corporation has no storefront and the owner works from home
An online business still has a physical place where it is run. Wise expressly names a home as a possible trading address and allows certain personal documents for a sole trader, freelancer or significant owner/director when the address matches. [1]
6. Digital nomad is staying in hotels and Airbnbs
Wise says a trading address should be permanent and rejects hotels and Airbnbs as temporary addresses. A 2727 mailbox does not make the nomad’s operations occur in Montreal. The applicant needs a supported, truthful physical operating arrangement. [10]
7. REQ extract shows 2727, but Wise asks for trading proof
The extract can support the Quebec registered-address fact. It does not answer where daily work occurs. Provide the actual trading proof Wise requests; do not use the register to convert one address role into another.
8. The only file is a signed 2727 service agreement
Check the request. If Wise needs proof of the right to receive mail or supplemental registered-address context, the agreement may be relevant. If Wise asks for a current landlord-signed lease, utility bill, bank statement or other listed trading document, the service agreement is not automatically an acceptable replacement.
Exact questions to ask Wise before applying
Send a short, field-specific request without attaching sensitive documents:
- Which legal entity and country of registration will be reviewed?
- Is the requested field the registered address, trading address, mailing address or a person’s residential address?
- For this entity, may the registered and trading addresses be in the two named countries?
- Is Wise Business currently available for the trading country and the applicant’s location, and which features overlap?
- If the business genuinely works from a coworking space, which exact document types prove that trading address?
- Will Wise accept the named document under its actual title, or is a landlord-signed lease required?
- What issue-date limit applies to that document in the Canadian workflow: three months, twelve months or another prompt-specific period?
- Must the document be in the entity’s name, or may a significant owner/director’s personal document be used for a home-based business?
- How does the Canadian rule preventing the personal residential address from equalling the registered business address apply to this legal form?
- Which directors, owners, UBOs and account administrators must be verified?
- Are the named foreign passports, residential documents and countries accepted, and is translation or certification required?
- Does the industry, customer geography, source of funds or ownership structure require enhanced review?
- Should the applicant wait for an in-account upload prompt, and what file formats are allowed there?
- If a document is rejected, will the reason identify the wrong field, age, format, mismatch or document category?
Save Wise’s written answer with the date, profile country, legal entity and document name. A generic support statement about “virtual addresses” is not enough when the decisive question is whether the business actually trades at the location.
Common failure modes and the correct repair
| Failure | Why it fails | Correct repair |
|---|---|---|
| Mail-only 2727 plan entered as trading address | Wise bars mail receiving and virtual-office use from the trading field | Enter the real physical operating location |
| Service agreement labelled as a lease | The document does not prove the legal category claimed | Use its actual title and ask whether Wise accepts it |
| Registered and trading roles copied everywhere | Different systems ask different questions | Build an address schedule and map each field |
| Old registry, utility or bank record | Wise applies document-age limits | Obtain a fresh record within the correct workflow window |
| Name, unit or postal code differs | Wise names mismatched details as a rejection reason | Correct the underlying record; do not alter an image |
| Cropped, blurred or partial file | Wise needs the full readable document | Re-export or photograph the original in full and include both sides |
| Mobile-phone bill | Wise excludes it from trading and personal address lists | Use an accepted utility, bank, tax, insurance or occupancy record |
| Company document used for personal residence | Wise says personal proof must be issued to the personal address | Supply the individual’s real residential evidence |
| Canadian residence copied from registered office | Wise publishes a Canada-specific prohibition | Keep the person’s true home address separate |
| Foreign founder assumes Canadian incorporation guarantees access | Wise reviews country, people, activity and features separately | Pre-screen the complete structure and countries |
| Unsupported trading country hidden behind Montreal mail | Wise requires a supported physical trading country | Use the real supported location or choose another provider |
| Workspace purchased after rejection but never used | Contract does not create actual operations | Establish truthful operations or use the real trading address |

Research method, date and limits
This guide was researched and source-checked on 20 August 2026. Discovery began with multiple semantic RankStudio Exa searches. Known Wise, FINTRAC, CRA and Gouvernement du Québec pages were then batch-read with Exa. Evidence excerpts were captured at access time in the project research ledger. No Firecrawl search, scrape-router escalation, Reddit, paid Google grounding, account application, support chat, document upload or mystery-shopping was used.
The strongest evidence is Wise’s current business-address article because it directly defines the registered and trading fields, excluded address types, accepted documents, regional restrictions and rejection reasons. Wise’s other pages supply the wider verification, person, UBO and country boundaries. FINTRAC explains regulatory methods, while CRA and Quebec sources define their own address records; none of those government sources proves Wise acceptance.
Public sources do not resolve every Canadian edge case. They do not say that Wise accepts a 2727 agreement, define the amount of coworking activity needed, publish a complete country-by-country Wise Business matrix, promise non-resident opening, explain the Canadian residential-address restriction by legal form, or reconcile the English and French document-age wording. Wise can change product availability and may request additional evidence. Treat this guide as an application map, not approval or legal advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wise accept a virtual office as a trading address?
No. Wise expressly excludes virtual offices, PO boxes, mail-forwarding or receiving services, lawyers’ offices and registration agencies from the trading-address field. A different rule may apply to the official registered address, but that does not convert it into a trading location. [1]
Does Wise accept a coworking address?
Potentially. Wise says a coworking space can be a trading address, but defines trading address as where the business actually runs day to day. A mail-only product is not enough. Wise must still accept the submitted evidence.
Can I use 2727 as my registered address for Wise?
Potentially, if the entity is legally entitled to register there, the 2727 agreement authorizes that role, and the official record truthfully shows it. That does not establish a trading address or guarantee Wise acceptance.
Is the 2727 service agreement a lease for Wise?
No. It is a service agreement. Wise’s accepted list separately names a current lease or rental agreement signed by the applicant and landlord. Do not rename or characterize the 2727 agreement as a lease.
Can a Canadian founder use the same home address personally and for the company?
Wise’s current business-address page says that in Canada the personal residential address cannot be the same as the registered business address. The public page does not publish structure-specific exceptions. Ask Wise how the rule applies before submitting.
Can my registered and trading addresses be in different countries?
Wise says yes, but it will verify the trading address, requires it to be physical and supported, and says only services available in both countries can be offered.
Does a Canadian corporation let a non-resident owner open Wise Business?
Not automatically. Wise separately reviews the entity, owners, administrator, residence, trading country, industry and requested features. The public pages do not promise eligibility for every foreign-owner structure.
How recent must my trading-address document be?
The English Wise page uses three months for business licences, registration records, utilities and bank statements, and twelve months for tax and insurance documents. A lease must be current and signed. The French localization differs for some categories, so follow the live Canadian request.
Can I use a personal bill for a home-based company?
Wise says it may accept named personal documents for a sole trader, freelancer or significant owner/director when the personal document’s address matches the Wise trading address. That is trading evidence for a genuinely home-based business, not permission to use 2727 as the person’s residence.
Does an REQ extract prove the Wise trading address?
It can prove what is registered in Quebec. It does not, by itself, prove where the business operates day to day. Use it for the role Wise requests and provide separate trading evidence when needed.
What should I do after a Wise address rejection?
Read the stated reason, identify the exact address field, and correct the underlying mismatch, document category, age, format or completeness issue. Do not purchase a mailbox or alter a registry merely to bypass the request.
Will 2727 guarantee approval?
No. 2727 cannot decide Wise eligibility or promise document acceptance. The team can explain the address rights and document it actually provides so you can ask Wise a precise question.
Conclusion: buy the address role you can prove truthfully
The safest Wise file does not force one Montreal address into every field. It identifies the official registered address, the physical place where work actually occurs, the mailing destination and each person’s real residence; then it assigns one current document to each fact.
If your need is a staffed Montreal mailing address or a legitimate registered-address arrangement, review the business-address documentation and send your entity, country and Wise question to the 2727 team. If Wise needs proof of daily operations and nobody works at 2727, use the real trading location. If you genuinely operate from 2727 workspace, ask Wise to approve the exact occupancy document before relying on it.
