Forwarding business mail to your house?

My wife works from home and we'd like to stop using our home address for her business, is there a way to get a PO box or something else and forward mail to our home? So we can give out a different address? Obviously I'm being lazy, I know we could get a PO box. Is that the only real option?
The main reason I ask, is her business is based out of one town and we live in a different area. Not far, 30 minutes. But far enough it would be a PITA going to the PO box 3-4 times a week.

I looked into this at one time but never had to execute it.
There are some "virtual" mailbox options where a third party gives you an address you can use as your mailbox, and they scan all the envelopes and contents so you can read them via your account.
But that may not be an option due to security issues or what not that may be part of your business.
I believe these companies can also forward the actual mail as requested, so one would think you could just set up with them totally offline without them opening anything.
ETA: places like UPS offer PO boxes too. None of those are closer?

Well we'd like to keep the PO box in the town her work is based out of. For example, 'New Orleans Design' and we would live on the north shore.
There's closer PO boxes certainly.
I've never had a need to forward mail before, I didn't think it was a big deal and people did it when they have vacation homes for extended periods of time. I assumed I could find something like that?

My experience with the USPS mail forwarding service is that it can delay the mail arriving at the final destination by weeks. I would not recommend that type of delay for business correspondence.
