Do you have a business that can be run from anywhere in the world? And you are interested in increasing sales?
Well, a Virtual Office is the best option when it comes to mobility and perception. The concept of a “Virtual Office” has started to become fully recognized across businesses, because of the benefits they provide and the flexibility they offer compared to a traditional office. Ever since COVID-19, the same question has been asked by entrepreneurs globally: what can they do to improve the profitability of their business, as well as to improve their image in front of their clients. (or at worst, how can they cut costs to survive?) Virtual Addresses (or Offices) seem to be one of the most beneficial options for those interested in saving money but having a business that still is perceived to be larger than it actually is.
If you are at the beginning of the road and the money is tight, you have to make the right choices in order to have profit. Under these conditions, choosing the Virtual Office option seems to be the answer that can get rid of a lot of hassles.
Having a Virtual Office does not require your physical presence. If you decide to get a Virtual Office, you will get everything your business needs to be operational in one place and have essential tools for daily operations, such as email, landline number, Physical Mailbox, meeting rooms, 24/7 access, etc. For example, you can have your company’s headquarters in an extremely convenient and central location in the city. Without needing to pay the outrageous costs of getting furniture, printers, building meeting rooms, paying a huge deposit, being locked into a 24-month lease, etc. In actual fact, you get all of that immediately, without any additional costs. The best part, also, is that you can access the office ONLY when you need it, without worrying about its maintenance, cleaning or operating costs. What are the Advantages of a Virtual Office?
- Live or travel anywhere, at any time while your business stays grounded
- Market and sell with prospects who believe you are located around the corner
- Avoiding high amounts of the upfront and ongoing expenses that are attributed to running a traditional office (eg, no need for a physical office, commute to work, etc)
- Get a physical and secure business mailbox (or just have the documents scanned or forwarded to you)
- A Permanent business address (that is unique to your business and not shared with any other entity besides you)
- Email notification when your mail/parcels have arrived
- Keyless entry to meeting rooms, mailboxes, etc 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- Permanent Australian landline phone number
- All phone calls are forwarded to your mobile phone
When opting for a Virtual Office, it is imperative that you have the “appearance” of still being physically within the location of your customers. You can set-up meetings with your clients at the same office where you get the mail, the address that is listed on your website, and the address that your business is registered with ASIC. One of the best options is to contact B2B HQ and look at the “Virtual Office” Package – as it includes all of the benefits listed above.
Why take the risk and expose your business and yourself by spending a lot of money, when you can have everything you need only for $2/day? On the other hand, organizing a classic-style office can cost upwards of $50/day and is extremely difficult to justify. By staying devoted to the classic way of doing business, you have more disadvantages than you may have ever realized.
- Inefficient or insufficient tools for daily operations and growth
- Lacking additional resources to generate leads and sales (as the investment went into the office)
- Inadequate and unprofessional marketing materials (again, the opportunity cost of creating a large office)
- Lack of professional offices to meet clients and leads, as you needed to get a smaller space to save on costs
- Poor perception and credibility due to unprofessional business address and phone number (you were only able to get a location you could afford)
- Exposure of personal and private details to identity theft (if you decide to not get an office and register with your home address)
A Virtual Office is a practical and advantageous concept for everyone and in a world where making a business is more and more demanding, this option is definitely the way to guaranteed success.
