When looking at commercial property and serviced offices people often forget to look at “the Virtual Office”. In fact the very term itself is often misunderstood and many confuse it with a serviced office. It is not the same thing. Whereas a serviced office gives a full range of services including actual full-time office space, receptionist, board room, reception area, admin assistance, catering, secretarial and storage a virtual office caters for a different level of client.
A virtual office will cater more for a client that works from home and need a prestigious office address, a telephone system, postage acceptance and the ability to use boardrooms or meeting rooms when needed.
So, if you are a start up or small business and are not yet ready for, or do not need, the space or costs associated with a dedicated office space, a virtual office could be perfect for your needs. A good one will offer a highly efficient and cost-effective service that creates a great business impression, whilst enabling you to concentrate on growing your business. If you are away on business, on holiday or just out for lunch, our Telephone Answering and Message Service will ensure you never miss an important call or business opportunity. In other words – you will be able to give your clients the impression that your organization is much bigger than it actually is. And in the case of working from home, or if you are a small building company and are always on site then this would be perfect for you.
However, if you need full time office space. Actually work from the office and see clients in the office on a regular basis then I would recommend the serviced office route.
Finally – If you are an established company – well then the choice would most likely be between buying or renting your own commercial property.
