With an Eye on the Bottom Line

The budget is always on the businessman’s mind. One aspect of the twenty-first century’s business world that is becoming extraordinarily clear is that use of virtual office space can be extremely beneficial for a wide range of companies, even those that would traditionally be run out of the home. The list of benefits cannot be denied.

Whether the company in question is small or large, using virtual office space can give significant potential for dramatic reduction in commuting time and costs – and indirectly having a positive impact on environment with reduced auto emissions. Using virtual offices can also increase employee productivity and improve employees’ quality of life.

Another unexpected bonus to using virtual office space is that the pool of job applicants available to you need not be restricted to your immediate geographic area. Perhaps the absolute perfect fit for the job opening at your company lives a time zone (or two) away from the company – but with a virtual office, the perfect fit can become an employee and everybody wins.

Having access to conference rooms at ones’ virtual offices is a great solution for meeting clients face-to-face, especially over the alternative (have you ever truly seen a “quiet” corner at a coffee shop?).

Virtual Office Space Tips: You would likely discover that simply by switching your company to virtual office space from a traditional office space leasing arrangement, the cost savings can be surprisingly significant.

A New Media and Business Partnership

It’s hard to believe there was a time when we didn’t all have email or worry about where we could use WiFi. It’s amazing how much business, education, or even just personal life has been impacted by using the internet and related technology every hour of every day of every year. The businessworld in particular enjoys never-before benefits thanks to computers and the internet. New employee recruiting can be done online, office supply ordering is done online, many companies utilize online bill paying capabilities, and of course email is a vital form of business communication in the 21st century. What many businesses do not realize is that there’s still more potential business skills to be mined from the internet. One major potential is that companies can do business through virtual offices

thanks to many online tools and tasks…all at no loss of professional image, high-level customer service, or company efficiency and productivity.

To our way of thinking, about the only things a company could potentially lose from utilizing virtual offices are actually bonuses. By forgoing traditional office space in favor of virtual offices, companies can free up an incredible amount in operating costs – money that we sure can be put to good use elsewhere in the company. And the loss of wasted time and energy with virtual offices is another non-loss for businesses.

Virtual Offices Tip: In particular, the concept of virtual offices can be very appealing to startup businesses where financial considerations or constraints may prevent leasing or buying a building while the company is so new.

New Offices for a New Age

Everyone’s watching the economy, job market, and financial markets these days. Countless employees of large corporations have virtual offices to thank for their continued employment; by switching to a virtual office space, corporations are saving enough money in office leases to avoid downsizing or layoffs.

On occasion, some industry experts have even suggested that many that inner cities – both in America and abroad — may need to be redefined and redesigned as work habits and transportation needs evolve to virtual offices. As companies transition to virtual office spaces, more and more traditional office spaces are left unused and vacant.

This bodes well for suburban areas, where many virtual employees now work (from home or other non-traditional office location). However, industry experts project that many city-based hotels, restaurants, and businesses may see noticeable decrease in clientele as companies move out of traditional office space and into virtual office space.

It’s clear to see that space for employees is not the only advantage to utilizing virtual office space; many companies are further reducing their space requirements by transferring paper files to electronic media for storage, thus saving hundreds of thousands of square feet of file rooms and filing cabinets.

Virtual Office Space Tip: We see the opportunity to save huge amounts of money on fixed costs would drive companies into introducing flexible, nomadic work patterns and giving up traditional office space in favor of the virtual office space format.

Don’t Waste Your Businesses Resources

All too often, companies just starting out overestimating their business’ space needs, and sign an expensive and lengthy corporate lease agreement. This can result in wasted office space and high utility bills for heating and cooling an extra ten offices that you wouldn’t be needing for at least five years. Instead of getting your start-up company or expansion into a long-term lease agreement for the wrong space in the wrong location, you could instead take advantage of the numerous and flexible virtual offices.

With virtual offices, the fledgling company can get established in the business world, work with clients on projects, have access to business equipment (without having to purchase or maintain them), and all at a cost-effective and entirely professional format. Using virtual offices can also increase employee productivity and improve employees’ quality of life. It truly could be the ideal solution to the problem.

Make note of this…in a few months, when you and your company have a better idea of its office space needs, however, don’t be surprised if your employees vote to stay in their virtual office space over moving to a swanky set of offices in a high-rise office building in the city!

Virtual Offices Tip: We’re sure you’re tired of conducting client meetings at a coffee shop, but with many virtual office space plans, you’ll have access to a professional and business-equipped conference room for client meetings.

Redefining Office Productivity

Does this story sound familiar? If you heard that a coworker had a telecommuting arrangement or that a certain employee works remotely … you probably automatically thought “that guy is not a productive worker.” The reality is that, as several studies have found, worker productivity and output increases in telecommuting or virtual office situations. For workaholics or overachievers, however, working out of virtual offices can take a little delicate navigation.

Many people in business today thrive on juggling a lot of work, and often end up doing all of the needed work. Virtual office settings can help overachievers to better manage their time and stay focused on only those business tasks that require their work skills. In exchange, overachievers or workaholics stay fresh, very motivated, and meet their personal productivity goals, and therefore avoid burnout.

Recognize that there are some business tasks that can be a better use of your time than others, and delegate those more minor tasks to virtual assistants or receptionists to take care of on your behalf. But just be sure to remember that everyone needs to stretch their legs from time to time, so even if you’re working out of virtual office environment, it’s important to take a little break and walk out to the mailbox or to the corner shop for coffee.

Virtual Office Tip: Many people who work out of a virtual office setting underestimate the importance of plotting out goals or a plan when starting work on a new project or task.

Stop Wasting Valuable Business Time

Don’t you just dread the days that you look at your calendar and notice that you’ve got a staff meeting? Admit it, much of the time, such meetings end with one side of the room doodling on their notepads and the other side of the room watching the clock, waiting for the meeting to end. But you and your employees (or co-workers) don’t have to dread staff meetings held in a virtual office space.

Your company’s virtual office space staff meetings will feel new, different, and exciting from the beginning. You can use any number of new technological tools to conduct your staff meeting: teleconferencing, computer mirroring, interactive presentations, and more. Of course, a good meeting or presentation is not all about the technology — the system is just a tool and a significant portion of the ultimate success is up to the change in the way the staff think and interpret the information made available in the virtual meetings.

When your company takes virtual office space, it is taking advantage of an extremely hot and very effective new business trend. Employers and employees alike have access to countless benefits to using virtual offices, including higher productivity, efficiency, and remarkable potential for huge cost-savings (on overhead and operating expenses).

Virtual Office Space Tip: It’s easy to see, when you consider how much time can be wasted by traditional office meetings, how the high-efficiency of working via virtual offices is clearly cost-beneficial to the company’s bottom line.

Getting the Best of Business

Close the Corner Office Discussion

It’s such an old joke at this point, does anyone even laugh anymore?  It’s a joke told probably about a million times, from sitcoms to New Yorker cartoons, but the heavy competition for a corner office, or even an office with a window is not a joke for many in the business world. For companies that use a virtual office space, however, every single employee can have a prestigious corner office – in their own home.

The beauty of this setup is that, through virtual office space, companies can conduct business from practically anywhere: an employee’s home office, the corner coffee shop, an airport VIP lounge. With a laptop, a WiFi connection, and a cell phone, many small businesses have opened. With the added benefits of a virtual office space, those same small businesses are able to expand both clientele and employees, while keeping operating expenses reasonable and maintaining organizational flexibility. Employees working in a virtual office space enjoy reduced or no commutes, while still having access to business services such as a mailing center or conference rooms for meetings with clients.

Companies can even take advantage of reception and human resources services through a virtual office, which is also a major potential cost-effective benefit.

Virtual Office Space Tip: Corporate realtors report that as many as 50 percent to 75 percent of the seats in today’s traditional offices are empty at any given time. Only 30 percent of planned meetings take place.
