When it comes to owning your own business it can be hard to know what to do in regards to office space. Should you be renting office space in your local town? Can you run a business from a home office? Do you need a virtual office or registered address?
Whilst we believe you don’t need to rent office space and you can run a successful business from a home office, we also agree that a virtual office is an incredible asset for any business owner to have. To help you see why we’ve put together a list of 6 benefits of a registered address:
Whilst running your business from your home office in an incredible task to pull off, owning a physical business address will make you seem much more professional. Although it may only be needed for your website, important paperwork and for marketing purposes - a virtual office may be the difference between winning a client or losing them. Ultimately, it comes down to them searching for your business address to see whether or not you’re a legitimate company. Although it may seem ridiculous, those with physical business premises will seem much safer to work with than those with a home address.
If you’re renting office space to help your business seem more credible in the business world but hardly ever using it, hiring a virtual office will be a much cheaper office. Whilst it does mean you can’t physically visit the premises anymore, you can still use it mail forwarding and documentation. For more information, you can visit yourvirtualofficelondon.co.uk.
If you’re looking to expand your reach as a business, virtual offices are a great way to start offering your products and services in other locations. Whilst owning a business that is predominately online will already allow you to do this, often people feel more inclined to trust you if they know you’re local to them.
As well as offering virtual offices, registered addresses are also a great way to handle your mail. Using your registered address as your primary address will mean that 90% of the time, your mail will be sent to them. Luckily, the set up daily, weekly and monthly forwarding services that mean you won’t miss a thing. This is ideal for business owners that are always on the go, often finding they miss parcels and important deliveries.
