VIRTUAL OFFICE

A virtual office is a way for a business to operate remotely without having a standard, traditional office setting. With the help of virtual office services, businesses work and communicate with technology via video conferencing, conference calls, emails, etc. making it unnecessary for a physical office space. At Prime Executive Offices, we offer three virtual office solutions.

A virtual office is a combination of online services such as: videoconferencing, email correspondence, phone line services, etc., that supports businesses’ daily office functions without having to acquire a physical office space, hence making it a “virtual office.”

A virtual office is not like a traditional physical office that you go to work in but is instead a bundle of online services, mail collection/handling, as well as secretarial support services, personal phone answering with local phone number, that allow businesses to function normally. Virtual office providers provide business owners with a physical mailing address from which their mail and important documents can be accepted on their behalf.

Unlike most physical offices, it is not something you can see and work in but instead is an alternative bundle of support services.

Virtual offices are merely a set of services designed to support the needs of businesses looking to obtain a physical mailing address along with occasional conference room use.

Virtual offices are often a good alternative to a traditional office as it saves money on rent and still provides you with a business address, professional phone answering and secretarial support to help maintain your professional image.

One of the main benefits of having a virtual office address is that it keeps your home address private. With a virtual office space, businesses that work remotely can maintain the privacy of their home secure and separate from their business address which helps them stay organized and maintain their professional appearance. Virtual offices are also a more economical choice for businesses rather than having to commit to an office lease. At Prime Executive Offices, our prestigious location offers you to keep your home address private as well as provides you an economical solution.

Common virtual office disadvantages are the lack of centralization and interaction. With a virtual office you will not have a physical office to work in, so if you are a business that can handle remote work and management then a virtual office will be a good fit for you.

At Prime Executive Offices we offer various virtual office packages that include meeting room or office use for businesses, in case there is a need of an occasional physical workspace.

Virtual offices typically range from $65-$299 a month. Here at Prime Executive Offices, we offer a virtual office plan at $65 a month as well as other virtual office rental plans.

Prime Executive Offices also offers additional services that you may add on to your plan such as:

• Weekly mail forwarding
• Additional business name
• Itemized email notification
• Concierge services

In addition to the standard virtual office services, there are companies that offer virtual office mail forwarding which is a forwarding mail service for clients who do not want to come pick up their mail from the business mailbox location. This is convenient for businesses that do not live near the area of the business address as it still allows them to use the address while in a different city, state or even country.
Prime Executive Offices offers clients the option of including a weekly, monthly or even quarterly mail forwarding service.

Virtual offices are completely legal and a resourceful way for businesses to conduct their work. Since they are such a convenient alternative from renting a traditional office space many freelancers and startup businesses prefer to utilize these services to begin their professional careers. As a business working out of a virtual office you will most likely still need a general business license and other specific licenses depending on your type of business in order to operate legally. You will need to research and see which type of licenses you will need in order to be operating legitimately.
