Whether you are starting a company or are already established in the market, there are several reasons and advantages to using virtual office services.
If you are weighing up virtual office services against simply having a business address, it is worth knowing that there are differences between the two.
The main differences
Companies generally like to present themselves professionally to their clients. Having a business address, along with careful and personalised call handling, helps a company maintain its reputation with its customers. Using either service helps keep your business overheads relatively low.
A virtual address also entitles you to a business address that you can use on business cards, on your website, on social media and with your clients. What a virtual address does not give you is any physical component.
WebOffice offers this solution in the Quick plan, and you will find all the details on our site under services — virtual offices. That said, if you choose this option you can add other services whenever you need them, for an additional fee: use of a meeting room, for instance, since that is not included in the plan.
A virtual office, by contrast, entitles you to a business address but also lets you run your company without having to worry about the administrative side of things — whether that is handling your mail, receiving visitors or answering calls. Other services can be added on top: meeting rooms, mail forwarding, printing and scanning, so that your business runs without a hitch.
What is a virtual office not for?
A virtual office is not a physical space, which means you cannot be there full time. Some of our plans do, however, give you access to a meeting room.
If you are looking for somewhere to work full time, we would suggest looking at a private office instead.
Can a virtual office benefit my business?
Choosing a virtual office can be an excellent solution for companies in their early stages that want to expand and to try out new facilities: somewhere to meet your team or your clients, somewhere that answers your company’s calls and receives your visitors.
If you have any doubts about which virtual office plan best suits your needs, get in touch with us. We will help you find the right solution for your business, based on what you actually want.
