Instant
Office Space Leasing With A Virtual Office
By Nick Hunter
Looking
for a new office without worrying about long term leases,
setting up utilities or phones? Consider an instant executive
office.
The instant office set up has been around for a number of
years, buy many people who own their own business are still
unaware of this attractive alternative to traditional office
space. They are perfect for a sole business owner who is looking
for a turn key set up, that is fully staffed and includes
all the necessities required to do business.
Issues with traditional office space
Working with real estate brokers and looking for office space
can be very frustrating and scary. You are making a major
commitment, because leasing of traditional office space is
usually 3-5 years and many require a personal guarantee from
the owner. If your company cannot pay the rent, the landlord
can come after you personally. You have other decisions to
make. How big of an office to get? Does it require build-outs?
Parking? Am I making the right decision here?
Phone lines, utilities, property insurance, furniture and
equipment, alarms, - It goes on and on.
Instant offices allow you to forget about all of that.
Benefits of virtual instant office lease programs
An instant office set up is made possible by companies who
own office buildings, staff them and then rent out individual
offices within their building. You are part of a network and
are supported in anything you need.
These set ups includes, phones, high speed internet access,
furniture, fully staffed receptionist area, mail pick up,
coffee, and other amenities.
These buildings are normally in good business areas of the
community where traditional office space would normally be
expensive. You get a professional address in a corporate area.
The lease flexibility is probably the best feature. Most of
the instant office set ups can be done for as short as 30
days. However, it is advisable to commit a little longer so
your rent has a chance to be locked in. Either way, you are
not making a major commitment moving in.
Once you are signed up, your office is basically set up. You
will be given a phone number, which you can have your old
number “jump to”. A cable line is already set
up for you to plug your computer in to get on the internet.
The reception area has your company information and phone
number into their system. When anyone calls you, the receptionist
will know it is for you and will greet your callers with anything
you want them to say. They screen your calls, put them to
you or place him in your already set up voice mail.
You have 24/7 access to your office. Your instant office is
cleaned every night by the cleaning staff. Office rents vary
based on the size of the office and the area of the country
you are looking. These offices are best for someone who owns
a business with 2 or fewer employees or for a company who
wants to set up outside reps.
Most of these offices include a conference room that you can
use when it is available and access to other instant offices
of the company. If you are visiting a customer in another
city, you can reserve that facility for your meeting. This
feature is very good for CPA’s, Attorneys or any service
profession where it may be necessary to visit customers.
It is highly recommended to look into virtual office set-ups
before you commit to other office space. Focus on your business
and leave the rest up to your staff that is provided.
Happy Office Hunting!
"I just wanted to thank you and compliment you and your staff here on “the 3rd floor”. Everyone is very courteous and professional. My patients have said positive things about the facility and I have enjoyed being a tenant here. You guys do a really good job here!"
