Taking my Business Virtual

A good way of saving money and at the same time still maintaining a professional image is to have a virtual office. A virtual office will give you the right impression at a fraction of the cost of having your own office.

A virtual office is a great solution for traveling salesmen. These businessmen travel regularly in search of clients and mostly work from their cars. A virtual office also allows you to be found on Google places since you will have a real business address. You can use the address on your business cards instead of giving out your home address to strangers, increasing your security and privacy. Having your home address listed on business directories can open the door to clients showing up unexpectedly, unhappy clients stalking your home and burglars visiting. Google street view even provides a picture of the front entrance to homes.

Anyone with a home based business knows that some distractions are unavoidable. Some clients might have a habit of dropping in on you, distracting your whole schedule. With a virtual office, you get to plan and choose when to meet them.

When Apple was starting out in 1976, they worked in a garage while their calls were answered by a professional receptionist leaving them free to concentrate on their business.

If you consider that a virtual office may suit your business needs then Van Nuys Virtual Offices can help you start on that dream business of yours from as little as $99.00 a month. For more information you can visit our website at http://www.vannuysoffices.com

When to Consider a Virtual Office


There are plenty of great reasons to set up a home office. One of the perks of working from home is being able to take breaks when you want to, spend time with family, etc. However, this can quickly eat up your day without you realizing it. But as your business expands, you might begin to feel a little cramped in your home office. If, for instance, your “office” is little more than a desk packed into one corner of your living room, then it won’t be long before your freelance life—printers, paperwork, contracts, and file cabinets—begins to invade your personal space.
A virtual office makes it easy for your business to grow and creates a situation wherein you don’t have to deal with labor laws in order to expand. This situation makes it completely ideal for small to medium sized business owners who do not have the time or money for a physical office and who need to focus on the work at hand.  Plus there’s nothing worse than picking up the phone with an important client and having a knock on your door or your child ask for something.
