The Basics – Serviced & Virtual Offices Explained

0

What are serviced offices and virtual offices?  How do they lower your overheads and get your business moving straight away?

Generally when we talk about serviced offices, we’re talking about great locations in prime positions already completely kitted out for a new company or branch to walk straight into.

When starting a new business or finding another company location most often problems will arise early on with the question of space: where to set up and how much a new installation is going to cost.

Choosing a business location already fully furnished with a suite of state-of-the-art technology is the sort of company ideal you’re looking for.  Your new offices need to have working, reliable IT infrastructure and a team of IT professionals who know how to get your business online in no time.  You need immediate access to offices, reception areas, meeting rooms and conferencing facilities.  And, you need everything to look as sleek and prestigious as your company profile to assure your new list of clients and make certain that they’re all suitably impressed.

This is a tall order that only an office fully serviced and available in the right location can make good on.

A virtual office, on the other hand, works in much the same way without the physical business space.  Any small business or start-up relies on recognisable locations and head office addresses to get them going.  Virtual offices offer your business a central office address for all your stationery and web details, a local business number your clients and customers are comfortable with, and excellent secretarial services which ensure your calls and mail are forwarded to any location of your choice.  And all for a lot less than a dedicated company space you’ll hardly ever use.
