Virtual Offices
Virtual offices as the name implies give you many of the benefits of a physical office without actually having to sign up for a lengthy lease and the associated cost. With a virtual office, you get many of the benefits of a physical space without having to be there. For example, you would be able to use the mailing address, get your correspondence opened or forwarded, make use of meeting spaces and boardrooms plus potentially get all of the telecommunications benefits like having your phone calls answered and forwarded.
The development of the internet and cloud-based services has opened up a whole range of opportunities for small businesses and start-ups. No longer do you have to lock yourself into a lengthy lease and all those capital commitments?
What Types Of Properties Are On Offer And What Do They Cost
We have several prestigious properties for you to choose from around the country. In Sydney, we have some great properties available. If you want a location that is close to the harbour we can offer you one of the most prestigious properties in the city, 88 Phillip St Sydney, or “Aurora Place”. If you want to be in North Sydney then we have the beautiful “Northpoint” building available which is at 100 Miller Street North Sydney. Alternatively, we also have 275 Alfred Street North Sydney available which is a first-class location.
In the Melbourne CBD, for a similar cost of $60 per month, you can get a virtual office from virtualreception.com.au at either 440 Collins Street Melbourne or 189 Queen Street Melbourne. Again, both of these buildings are in excellent central CBD locations and are first-class buildings.
If you are interested in setting up a virtual office in Brisbane, then you can’t go past the 2 that we have on offer. 111 Eagle Street Brisbane and 192 Ann Street Brisbane are two of the finest buildings in the city at the right cost. They will send the right message to your customers and prospective customers.
So Why Should You Go With A Virtual Office?
We can think of lots of reasons however here are a few of the main ones.
- It allows for total flexibility. You don’t have to lock into physical office space when you are unsure of how many staff you will need. Office space in Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne can be really expensive so this is a great alternative.
- The cost difference is huge. Getting a physical location in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane can be expensive. Not only are you up for a big monthly bill you also need to pay for security deposits.
- It enables you to look bigger than you actually are. Size matters in business and if people think that you are much bigger it will give your business a step up.
- It frees up time and money for you to focus on growth rather than all of the administrative tasks that are attached to having a physical office.
- They are a great way of expanding into other cities or countries. We can very quickly give your business a national focus!
- Unlike physical space, you can cancel at any time. We only require a month’s notice.
When you use our virtual receptionist services you could be located anywhere in the world and still appear that you are sitting in Australia. Our team can either email/SMS you or they can forward your call to any number in the world.
What type of business is suitable for a virtual office?
Almost any business can be suitable. If you are a consultant, lawyer, accountant, or architect then for $60 per month they are a great way to kick off your new venture. They are not suitable for businesses that require a physical location that customers need to visit.
What happens when I need to physically meet with my customers?
We can provide cost-effective meeting rooms and board rooms in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide. The beauty is that you only need to pay for them when you need them.
What about overseas locations?
Contact our friendly staff and we can let you know about virtual office options in different locations around the world.
Why not combine it with a telephone answering service
A live answering service is the ideal service to compliment your new virtual address. With a telephone answering service, you can get on with business and leave the problem of answering your incoming calls to us. Our professional receptionists are skilled trained mature locals who will greet your callers with a pre-determined greeting every time they call. Once we have taken your message we will then email you with message within minutes.
Think of all of the time that you will save if you are not distracted by all of those incoming calls. Think of the time that you can spend on more strategic aspects of your business or spending time with your family or friends. Also, our professional receptionists can act as the gatekeepers to your business. They can answer all of those incoming calls and screen out all of the telemarketers and salespeople. The important calls can then be transferred to you or one of your staff members.
When you got into your business you probably got in because you love what you do and you are good at it. It is unlikely that you got in because you enjoy answering phones and acting like a receptionist. Why not give us the role of fielding the calls and you can focus on what you do best, growing your business?
Our receptionists are based here in Australia and are mature professional telephonists. Many of our competitors have opted for the offshore call centre option for answering their calls however here at Virtual Reception we think that overseas call centres are a false economy.
Sure, they can be cheaper than local receptionists however we find that the local knowledge that our receptionists have goes just that little bit further to giving our customers a real first-class experience. It is important to us that your customers feel that our receptionists are part of your team. Many of our customers have remarked over the years that their only regret with our telephone answering service is that they wish that they had known about it sooner as it has added so much value to their business.
Whether you decide to go for our first-class mailing addresses or our professional telephone answering services you will get great value. We also don’t lock our customers into long-term contracts as we believe in giving our customers flexibility.
