For home-based entrepreneurs and start-ups looking to gain a more professional image, renting a virtual office could be the perfect solution. It can also serve businesses looking to test a certain area, to project a professional image with a business address whilst not physically occupying the premises.
Usually a virtual office agreement would include a telephone number and postbox which is located at that address*
Virtual Offices are an ideal and cost effective solution for businesses who are, for example, working ‘on the road’ and don’t need a physical office or they would rather work from home to save on costs but need a business address. Some businesses may also be looking to establish a presence in a certain area and need a low cost business address whilst the company grows.
Advantages
-Virtual offices are a very cost effective option if a business doesn’t need a physical office
-Workers can stay at home or work on the road whilst portraying a business address for the company
-Productivity may be increased due to travel times to and from the office being eliminated
Disadvantages
-Having a physical office as a place of work can increase productivity and focus for some individuals rather than working at home
-An employer may prefer their staff to be based at a central office rather than at home or on the road
-Virtual offices lack the social interactivity of face-to-face contact with colleagues in the business
