Expanding Your Business With A Virtual Office

With the downturn in the economy we've certainly seen our share of businesses come and go across the U.S. As of late there has been a surge in new businesses opening up due to several factors.

Many people who have been unable to find work are going out on their own. Others figure "Why work for $12 an hour with my college degree to line someone else's pocket when I can start my own business and reep the benefits myself?"

People are realizing they have to work even smarter than ever and they have to take their financial future into their own hands. You may want to start and grow your business, but perhaps working out of your home won't get you where you want or need to be after the first six months. That's where a Virtual office or even an Executive Suite can help.

Many Fortune 500 companies have utilized Virtual Offices or Executive Suites when they started out and many continue to do so. You've no doubt heard the expression "OPM-use other people's money", well another expression in business is "OPS- use other people's staff" as a means to a competitive edge.

For example, how much would it cost to hire a full time receptionist who can answer questions to callers about your business or products? What if you utilized a Virtual Office even on a temporary basis that had a receptionist? You could potentially grow your business at a faster rate than trying to do it completely on your own. This is also a great tool for setting up operations in another state.

We're not suggesting that you don't hire any staff at some point. Once you get to the next phase of growth, by all means hire a full time receptionist or additional sales persons. It's simply another option available for you to help you work at growing your business.

Let's do a hypothetical comparison: Consider what it would cost to hire a full time receptionist, rent an office, pay for phone service, office equipment, phone, etc. Likely it would be over $2000 a month. For 10% of that cost you can have a Virtual Office with a receptionist, shared equipment, use of a conference room, mail forwarding and more. In this example that gives you an $1800 per month savings to use for marketing, advertising, equipment or what have you to really get your business up and running.

Here at Pinnacle Executive Suites you also have the benefit of utilizing services and expertise of the Business Achievement Center Strategic Partners who work with businesses from start-up to taking them public.
