Small is the way to start

Small is the way to start:

There are many opportunities for people that want to start their own business now than there was years ago. During this economic stress landlords that didn’t consider pursuing smaller tenants are now looking to expand their business and are willing to take small tenants.

Large spaces that have now been divided into smaller ones are helping out those people who have thought of starting a new business but were afraid of the commitment to a large space. The number of small spaces tenants can consider in their searches has increased.

Many people think that when you start a business, leasing office space is not a really important thing because you have that extra room in home you can now use as an office. Yes, having your business run from your home can save you some money. But is it really saving you money.

Many customers or clients seem to feel that a business with a permanent address other than someone's home is less likely to be a flaky business, and more likely to be able to deliver on guarantees. Which means some potential clients can change their mind about doing business with you.

Another consideration that you may want to think about, particularly if your business is mature, is that businesses with outside locations tend to be easier to sell and to bring higher prices. For one thing, the new owner doesn't have to scout out a new location and go to the expense of moving; for another, customers and clients are already accustomed to visiting a particular office and can continue to patronize it despite the new ownership.

A Virtual Office for my Business


When you're a new business start-up, or an entrepreneur with a great idea of starting your own business  but with limited resources, then the best way to start your idea, while still maintaining professional appearance to your clients, is to lease a virtual office.

The benefits of setting up a virtual office for a new business is apparent.  Not only do you save the company money in rent and rates , you achieve a appearance of professionalism and it gives you the freedom to work not just from home, but literally anywhere, meaning you can get out on the road and do some much needed prospecting.

A virtual office is like a traditional office it provides all those services that you expect from a real office without the cost of a traditional office.  Even the tiniest of offices can run several hundred dollars a month plus the cost of commute, the furniture and computers , and at least one telephone line the cost of doing business can become overwhelming.

Setting up a virtual office can seem a bit intimidating at first, but once you get the idea and get a feel of the benefits,  it’s really quite easy. With today’s technologies and the use of a virtual office, there really are no boundaries. With a virtual office you can spend more time with your family, work from almost anywhere, and your clients never need know you don’t have an office downtown, if you prefer them not to know.
