It comes as no surprise that virtual offices have become increasingly popular over the last few years for small businesses and start-ups, with the benefits for customers and their business plentiful. They are cheaper and more flexible than traditional office space and coworking facilities, whilst still providing some of the major benefits.
For entrepreneurs, start-ups and small businesses, renting a physical office space isn’t always financially or logistically viable. However, the benefits of having a professional business address, access to meeting space and additional office services are undeniable.
Moreso, the concept of virtual offices allows for improved productivity, reduced commuting costs, and increased flexibility; whilst the work environment helps in lowering significant overheads and the overall technology costs. All in all, the money you save through a virtual office set up can help towards the growth of your business.
At Office Co Group., we can provide a physical and recognised business address, which can help make a brand more credible, legitimate and professional; along with mail and phone services – all without paying for an expensive full-time office rental, or full-time support team members. Customers can mail your business, phone and leave a message for your business and have the feeling of a physical office. This gives the impression that your small business is professional, well-established and ultimately trustworthy.
By opting for a virtual office this enables you to work wherever you want, while still benefiting from the professional business image. It can also serve as that first step towards getting established in a physical space, but without the commitment of renting an actual desk or room in an office building. Then as you progress, you may find that virtual office is no longer appropriate for your growing team, and you’d rather be based in a single office together – and Office Co Group. will be on hand support this growth and transition.
That said, virtual offices aren’t strictly the domain of sole traders and lone entrepreneurs – it’s also possible to manage a team of remote workers through your virtual office. Today the expectation employees hold their employers to are changing, and the ability to work flexibly – in a location they want and at hours that first around their other commitments. In renting a virtual office for your business instead of basing your team in one space, you’re able to offer this benefit to your staff.
