the benefits of a virtual business address
First of all you may be wondering… What is a virtual business address? Also referred to as a ‘virtual office’ or a ‘virtual mailbox’, a virtual business address is where you pay to have a physical address be known as your business address without it being your actual office. Typically, and in this case, the address will be somewhere that allows you to have your mail sent to a registered address and will store this mail for you upon receiving it. Some places go that bit further and will potentially scan your mail and upload it to the cloud to save you the commute time. Typically, this is paid on a monthly basis and voila! You have a registered address that can be used as your own. So what are the benefits of a virtual business address?
Credibility
Having a registered address as your own allows you to potentially up your credibility to your customers by creating a more professional image for both yourself and your business. This is especially handy for start-ups and those working from home.
The Choice is yours
You are essentially able to work from anywhere! Yet all the while, you are able to have a registered address anywhere that you wish. This could be dependent on where your customer base may be, you can appear as a ‘local business’ and be within their shopping pool.
Cost saving
This allows you the freedom to have a registered space without paying to work in the space itself. It is a quick way to improve your professional appearance, without having to spend the extra capital. This is a perfect solution for startups, or anyone looking to cut the costs where possible, without lowering standards.
No Commuting
Especially when the virtual office you are signed up with has the ability to upload your mail to you, this cuts out or at the very least minimises any commuting time to ‘your office’. Something I’m sure we can all appreciate post pandemic!
Need a meeting space? No Problem.
Of course there may be times when you need to host a meeting, whether this be with clients, partners etc. The perfect solution to that is that some virtual office addresses will have meeting rooms available which can be booked for use – Newtons included. This allows you to present yourself as the professional you are within your registered business address. Talk about increasing your credibility!
Hopefully the benefits of a virtual business address speak for themselves and how they can be of great use (and even greater convenience) to yourself and your business! Have any questions? Don’t be afraid to get in touch about what we offer with our virtual offices!
