Why Use Virtual
Offices?
First impressions
count.
Professionalism is
the word when it
comes to running a
business out of your
home or from
overseas, but with
limited resources
and space,
projecting a
professional image
can sometimes be
tough. By offering a
variety of services
on a temporary or
virtual basis,
serviced offices
allow you to reap
the benefits of a
full-fledged office
without incurring
the high costs.
Advantages:
1) High Profile
Office Mailing
Address - A home
address is
unprofessional and
clients tend to
question the
viability and
stability of
businesses operated
from homes, whilst
PO Boxes often
suggest that a
business has
something to hide so
many overseas
businesses refuse to
send items to PO
Boxes.
2) Incorporation
Services - Nothing
screams "CORPORATE &
BIG BUSINESS" to
potential clients as
much as having an
LLP or Pte Ltd on
your letterhead and
business card. Not
only does this give
your business
credibility but
there are some very
good tax and other
advantages to
incorporation which
are well worth the
modest cost. Central
Offices Business
Centres are well
suited to assist in
this, by providing
one-stop services
for company
incorporation,
company secretarial
and accounting/audit
services, and even
local directorship
representation.
3) Professional
Meeting Facilities -
Meetings with
clients can't always
take place in
cyberspace, at the
client's office, or
in your local
Starbucks Coffee
Place. Rather than
have clients come to
your home, Central
Offices Business
Centres provides you
with a receptionist,
secretary, voice
mail, e-mail, and
other services,
along with
time-limited access
to private offices,
a reception area,
conference and
meeting rooms. These
don't cost a lot of
money but they CAN
give your business
all the big-city
prestige your
potential client is
looking for.
4) Dedicated
Telephone Services -
How do you know it's
safe to answer the
phone in your home
office when the
sounds of your young
children playing
just outside your
office door will be
heard by the caller?
Or worse still, what
if your call was
answered by your
toddler! No matter
how enlightened your
client-base is, as a
general rule, it is
imperative that the
telephone be
answered in a
businesslike manner.
Central Offices
provides dedicated
telephone handling
services that
answers all your
calls in your
company name and can
tell callers that
you're in a meeting
with another client,
redirect the call or
take a message. You
can then return the
call at a time when
you know tell-tale
background noise
won't give you away.
5) Corporate Email -
Something else to
think about is the
image of your email
address. Which do
you think your
potential client
will consider more
corporate/professional:
mary@mycompany.com
or mary@yahoo.com?
By using Central
Offices’ Virtual
Services, you get a
generic but
professional email
account. Or we can
even assist to set
up your professional
email address for
you using your own
domain name at a
nominal cost.
6) Office Equipment
- There's no point
having quality
stationery if you're
going to use a cheap
and cheerful inkjet
printer for your
correspondence. And
with most businesses
expected to have fax
machines, what would
your clients think
if you tell them you
have no fax
capabilities because
you work from home?
Central Offices not
only provides
professional
machines capable of
printing in color
but also copying,
scanning, faxing and
binding. In fact,
you can simply send
us softcopies of
your documents and
we’ll ensure they’re
printed, cut &
bound, sealed in
professional
envelopes and
couriered to your
client.
7) IT & Internet
Access. Boasting
high-speed always-on
Internet access,
Central Offices
ensures you are
always connected to
the Web. What’s
more, our secure
wireless networking
capabilities means
you can wander from
the meeting room to
the pantry with ever
losing your internet
connection. And our
IT-staff are always
available to lend a
hand if you ever
encounter PC
problems.
8) Virtual Assistant
- For a small
business, the need
for extra assistance
is often a
requirement that can
be unfeasible due to
limited office
space, equipment, or
funds. An
alternative to
employing a full or
part time assistant
yourself is to use
Central Offices'
Virtual Assistant
Service. You get a
professionally
trained receptionist
/ secretary always
ready to assist you,
and you pay only
when you use her
services - no
office, no
infrastructure = no
fixed costs and no
headaches!
Remember, regardless
of what your
potential and
existing clients may
think about the
concept of
businesses run out
of their owners'
homes, first
impressions do count
so do consider using
a virtual office
plan. And when you
are ready to upgrade
to physical office
space, simply inform
us at Central
Offices – you won’t
even have to change
your address, phone
or contact details
as we can seamlessly
use them for your
office.
