Advantages of Having A Virtual Office for Your Business Needs

Author: Chelliah Nakeeran

A virtual office provides businesses of all sizes and budgets several key benefits.

No matter how often you need to use office space, a virtual office enables you to create a physical appearance without the financial burden of expensive overheads typically associated with running a business from an office.

Official Register Address

If you’re a limited company, you can use our address in central London to register your company with Companies House. Given their records are available in the public domain, having an official address in London W1 helps project a positive image for your company.

A virtual office also gives you a physical address to receive post. This is an ideal solution for directors that are legally obligated to have an official mailing address but don’t want to publish your private address in the public domain.

Furthermore, our mail scanning and forwarding service mean you always have access to your mail without having to pay for a physical location.

Access to Office Facilities

There will be times when you need to use typical office facilities such as a printer, scanner, fax machine or deliver a presentation. Virtual offices provide you with easy access to all the usual office facilities you would expect to be available in your own office.

What’s more, we also have virtual meeting space. Therefore, if you need to meet a client in person you can hire a meeting room for as long as you need. We even put up signs with your company name and logo on it to create the impression the virtual office space is a permanent placement.

Dedicated Telephone Line and Receptionist

Receptionists project a good image for your company and can field calls you may be too busy to take yourself. With our telephone answering service, you have access to a professional receptionist and a dedicated landline at a fraction of the cost.

Professional receptionists demand a significant annual salary which may not be financially viable for many businesses. A telephone answering service also means you never miss a call when you are otherwise engaged in a meeting or stretched to meet a deadline.

Our receptionist will take the call for you and pass it through to your mobile or landline. You will see the number of the caller on your screen – so you can choose whether you want to take the call or not. Our receptionist will even take a message for you and answer basic questions.

More Flexibility

If you are an established company with existing employees but looking to cut costs, or you are switching location, renting virtual office space gives you the flexibility for both short and long-term periods.

You can rent office space from as little as one hour to as much as an entire year. Should you need to book for long-term residency you even get the benefit of a discount.

Virtual office space gives you more flexibility. You only need to pay for the desks, offices or meeting rooms you use and because virtual office space is significantly less expensive than most offices cost to rent, the savings you will make can be put to better use in other areas of your business.

Even if you are relocating to another office and need a short-term fix in-between times, virtual offices provide a cost-effective solution. Virtual office space is being adopted by companies of all sizes and for a variety of reasons so why not take advantage of the benefits.
