One of the most significant issues that a small business will contend with – certainly in its early days – is that of office space. If your business is small and only recently started trading then the costs of having a full time office can be extremely prohibitive. With your business in its relative infancy, the last thing you need to think about is the rent costs that come from having a physical office space.
Take that much needed holiday
One of the toughest things about running a business is switching off. Business owners are often juggling various tasks at one time. For popular business resource, this can include things such as buying stationery; focusing on core business activities and ‘On top of that, most business owners are struggling with information overload and chronic levels of interruption.’
Use our meeting rooms to impress
If you are looking to grow your business you will at some point have to meet external influencers who may be very important in achieving this growth. This could be suppliers, potential partners or key clients. Whoever this may be, it is important to make a good impression. If your business is based from home this could be a concern.
Utilize our mail forwarding address and get less junk mail
One of the less interesting ‘perks’ of running your own business is having piles of unsolicited mail sent to you. Whether this be to your home or an office space, going through the quantity of mail can often be very time consuming. Wouldn’t it be great to receive less spam and have only important mail sent to you? Here at your virtual office London we only forward on actual mail. We offer a wide variety of mail forwarding London services – which start at a nominal price; ideal for cutting out junk mail.
Protect your home address by having a prestigious N1 address right in the heart of ‘cool’ East London
Image is more important than ever and people’s perception of your business can be shaped by many things – including where your office is based. Equally, if you work from home you may not want your residential address to be your mail forwarding address. Some people feel uncomfortable with mixing work and home life and would rather use a different address on public records.
Save money instead of using a physical office
As suggested, the biggest problem with having an actual office space are costs. Rent prices, as well as business rates from local authorities, mean that office space can come at a cost and if your business is new this cost can be significant. Using a Virtual Office provider, like us, is much more flexible without the drawbacks of having to consider various taxations from local authorities.
You’re abroad and want to give the image that you’re based in the UK
Think Mail Forwarding is for UK residents again? Think again. In today’s interconnected world people are more aware of opportunities than ever before. You might for example have a business in Spain but want to have an office presence in the UK. You may want to branch out your business to the UK market. Again this comes at a cost, but with a London address you can create the impression that you are also based in England.
