Many home based businesses are seeing the benefits in using virtual office space to enhance and provide a professional, corporate image for their business. Image matters especially when operating and running a business from the home environment, with a range of benefits and limitations for any business owner.
The benefits include working for yourself, working hours that suit your lifestyle, saving time (and money) on travel and working around family commitments.
The limitations include keeping clear delineation lines between home and work environment, lack of social environment or not having suitable space to meet prospective clients or hold staff meetings.
Fortunately, virtual offices are a great solution. Facilities and services typically include use of business address, mail collection, meeting room hire, business support and phone answering. Conference rooms provide a professional meeting atmosphere and technology such as video conferencing.
Virtual offices are a cost effective alternative for start-ups, entrepreneurs and home based businesses in keeping operating costs low while developing a professional image and can reduce overhead expenses that are typically required to operate an office.
Business Centres, Serviced Offices and Co working spaces all offer a variety of options. Business Centres can provide dedicated office space, virtual office space or meeting room hire. Co working spaces allow you to use a desk or space by the hour and network with other likeminded people.
Virtual offices allow small business owners, the self-employed and professionals to enjoy all the benefits of a prestigious business address and full complement of facilities and services without the expenses of establishing a traditional office location.
Whether you are a home based business or looking for alternatives in managing office space costs for your business, you can easily run your business with a virtual office set up. As you expand, moving into a serviced office may be the next logical step.
