The Advantages of Having a Virtual Office

By Chloe Gib


Lots of people have good ideas for starting their own business. You may be already working for someone or even still studying but dying to put your own ideas into practice. One thing that may be holding you back is the lack of, or cost of, running an office. Now that is easily solved by establishing a virtual office in Atlanta.

When you do not employ any staff you are spared a lot of worry and expense. No insurance or sick leave, no personality clashes or in-fighting to darken your days. But you do lose the personal touch which can be a negative factor. No one likes talking to a call center and statistics show that if callers are transferred to voicemail many of them hang up.

It is also an incontrovertible fact that people are impressed by a good address. Not residential and not a box number either, a good up market commercial block is what they like to see on your card to show you have credibility. So you feel you have to look for office space for rent in Atlanta GA. But this is just as good if not better.

You may not realize just how many services are offered. Investigate the Atlanta office solutions that are available and you will be pleasantly surprised. You can have your letters and packages sent to your address and even signed for at any time. Most locations even offer mail boxes to securely hold your documents until you can arrange collection.

A receptionist or virtual assistant will answer calls routed to her number. You do not want your clients upset by having to talk to a call center in Timbuktu or being told to leave a message with your voicemail box. They will run away. Alternatively you can set up an automated response with the standard Dial One for this and Dial two for that and then you or your virtual assistant can take the call. This gives a good impression of efficiency.

You can hire a meeting or conference room by the hour or on a regular basis. This means that you have all the conveniences of a good business address with no headaches. It gives you much more time to concentrate on building your business.

Your virtual office in Atlanta will get you off to a flying start. Once you are up and running it is easy to set up a similar commercial facility in another state. The sky or perhaps the clouds are your only limit.
