Stop Waiting for the Nice Big Office

There’s an old saying in the world of business, you have to spend money to make money. And while that’s all well and good for big corporations, money isn’t as readily available to the little guy just starting out. So, trying to afford a big fancy office in which to impress clients is out of reach for most start-ups. The cost of leasing an office alone will set you back about $5000 a month. Add in all the other expenses you’ll face having a brick and mortar location—office supplies, additional staff for handling phone calls, mail and walk-ins, commute costs—the thought of starting a business begins to seem impossible.

How can you stand-out among the crowd of entrepreneurs and still afford to become a success? The answer—save money going virtual. A virtual office can give you the things a real office provides without the extra, overwhelming expense of running a business. For example, an incorporated company must provide a business address to be on file for legal and tax purposes. You could just use a P.O. box in some cases or your home address but there are disadvantages with both.

Problems with using your home address include: (1) mailbox being flooded with junk mail from business that have found you through searching public records and (2) if your business is ever sued, the process server’s going to come knocking at your house causing potential embarrassment or gossip among nosey neighbors.

Having a virtual office with a corporate address adds legitimacy to your business. Clients will see you in a more professional light rather than just seeing some guy working out of his basement. As your business grows, having a virtual office means being able to hire more people without having to find space for them to work. No more over-crowed cubicle prisons full of drama and distractions means more work is getting done.

In addition, having a virtual office in Jersey City will eliminate all the headache and hassle of commuting in traffic—hours of time lost each week to gridlock will be a thing of the past, giving you more time to grow your business. Plus, the money you’ll save by not having to maintain a car or spend hard earned dough on public transportation can be put towards making your business a success.

A virtual office eliminates other problems that come with working in a traditional setting. No more worries about catching the bug that’s been going around at work that kept Sally home for a week, causing everyone to fall behind resulting in lost productivity. Other advantages to having a virtual office include more flexibility in your schedule allowing for a better balance between work and home life. Now when little Billy has an activity at school during the work day, there’s no need to take a vacation day just to go. You’ll have the freedom to attend those special moments in his life that otherwise would be lost to not being able to take time off from your job.
