There’s nothing better than having a home base for your business. But, for many professionals, the need for a business headquarters doesn’t necessarily include a physical workspace. In some cases, they even need a business footprint outside of their home city.
And that’s where having a virtual office address comes in handy.
Here’s everything you need to know.
What is a Virtual Office Address?
Virtual offices give you the administrative benefits of having an office space, including mail receiving and phone services as well as meeting work, and event space access, without the need for a physical footprint–or the costs that go along with it.
How Virtual Office Address Can Benefit Out-of-Town Professionals
Virtual office addresses don’t just benefit local businesses. On the contrary, they can be a huge benefit to out-of-town professionals and companies as well.
Here’s how.
Regional Headquarters
If you have customers or clients in other cities, having a virtual office address can make you much more accessible to them.
For instance, if you’re a lawyer based in Phoenix but you’ve got a client located in Tucson, you can stop by your virtual office to meet with them rather than asking them to drive all the way to your Phoenix office.
Or, if you’re a realtor based in Scottsdale but you sell properties in Tucson, you can stop by your virtual office when your clients need to sign paperwork rather than making them commute all the way out to see you.
On-Demand Meeting Space
One of the most important benefits to out-of-town pros when it comes to virtual office addresses is getting access to a real meeting space where you can host clients. This makes you look much more professional than meeting in a coffee shop or some other public place. Virtual office users also generally get discounted meeting room credits, making it extra affordable to book them when you need them.
Regional Workspace Access
Beyond just client interactions, virtual office addresses at flexible office spaces also give you workspace access in case you find yourself in another city and in need of a place to buckle down, have some coffee, and get some work done.
Reputable and Professional Local Address
Whether you have an office in a different city or you work in-town at a home office, virtual office services provide you with a reputable address in a top-tier building.
So, whether you want a business address that isn’t at your house, you want to impress your customers or prospects, or you want to have business addresses in multiple regions, virtual offices can help.
Additionally, while Google My Business doesn’t typically permit virtual office users to claim a GMB, we are now offering, as of March 1, 2022, our Digital Business Directory upgrade, an add-on service to either our coworking or part-time private office memberships. With this add service, as well as the required membership, you’ll not only be in compliance with Google’s GMB guidelines, but you’ll be able to claim your Google My Business address, which is crucial in legitimizing your business in the eyes of your potential and current customers.
International Mailing Address
Being located in such close proximity to Mexico, many businesses based south of the border need shipping addresses in the United States. Virtual office addresses are a simple solution. They let Mexico-based professionals or business owners ship mail to an address in the U.S. so they can cross the border to collect it when it’s convenient for them.
Virtual office services also provide Mexico-based businesses with a U.S. phone number connected to a receptionist who can transfer their calls or take messages when needed.
Personalized Phone Answering Services
Some virtual office packages offer live personalized call answering services, including:
- A local or 800 toll-free phone number
- A live receptionist (local US Call Center) to answer, screen, patch, and forward or redirect your calls to a phone number of your choosing
- Voicemail services
- After-hours auto-attendants for phone calls
So, whether you work from home and want to have a receptionist to greet your callers or you work in another city or country and need someone who can receive calls locally for you, virtual office addresses can check those boxes.
For on-the-go pros across Arizona and businesses located in Mexico, having a virtual office address can help make your business more efficient and offer an increased appearance of professionalism.
