Virtual Office: Really worth it?

Whether you’re just starting out or already have an established brand, you might be wondering what the next steps should be in making your business more professional. If you work from home or out of coworking spaces, a virtual office should be high on your list of priorities. A virtual office gives you a professional mailing address and phone number, without the physical office. Virtual offices are great for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and freelancers who want to look more established and grow their brand. Having a professional address and phone number to put on websites, business cards, and in communications makes a huge difference and sets your business apart from the competition. Many coworking spaces, including Workspace, offer options for virtual offices. Although they differ, most virtual offices offer a professional mailing address and phone number, conference room rentals and meeting space, and use of office amenities. 

If you’re looking for reasons why you should consider a virtual office space, here are three of our favorite perks: 

Minimize costs 

Virtual office allows you to minimize costs; it gives you the perks of a professional office space, without the costs. This is a great option for digital nomads or people who prefer to work from home. 

Flexibility 

Workplace flexibility is important, especially as the nature of work continues to change. Because there is no need to be tied to the office, you can set up your virtual office in any location, not just where you work. Say you want to work in different coworking spaces throughout a city, or you travel frequently -- a virtual office gives you a home base with the flexibility to be on the go. 

Privacy 

If you are a freelancer or own your own business, virtual offices give you a heightened level of security. A professional address and phone number eliminates the need to use your home address or personal phone numbers on business documents or marketing materials. 

We might be biased, but we think a virtual office is totally worth it! A virtual office can take your business to the next level and open opportunities for growth. If you’re interested in chatting with us about our virtual office options at Workspace, get in touch!
