Benefits Of A Virtual Office In London

Using the services of a virtual office company can greatly help many small businesses when they are just starting up, yet this is nowhere more true than in Central London. It is a fact that whilst a lot of small start up businesses would like an office in Central London, it is a fact that leasing permanent office space in a good location in London can simply be prohibitively expense. A small business starting up cannot afford to do so, yet may regard a Central London business address as essential.

Indeed to give an idea of the cost of such office space, British Telecom (BT) has sold off the majority of its Central London offices in the past few years and moved people out to save money. So if BT cannot afford to do it then how can a small business?

Well you can actually easily get a good address and flexible business services by using a Virtual Office Company.

Virtual office companies operate all over the United Kingdom, but none are more vital or more effective than they are in London.

A virtual office company will allow you to use their Central London address for business purposes such as mail handling, and for use as your registered company address. Yes, the next step is to use them to handle your telephone calls, which can be a godsend for a busy small business, yet in London they offer so much more than these facilities.

As an example you may just want to rent a hot desk space for a couple of hours, whereby you can get access to the Internet, printing facilities as well as faxes and copying solutions, or you may need a short term space for a roving sales team.

A virtual office company comes into its own in this area as they can normally offer scalable office space, meaning you can rent a small space to start with and then increase the amount of space, expanding gradually until you have built up your business to a size where you can lease some permanent offices of your own.

In London the ability to do this combined with the ability to rent meeting rooms by the hour, plus the other added value services can dramatically cut down on the start up costs for your business.

These virtual office facilities can all be rented on an “As needed” basis, likewise sending faxes, and copying documents are all done for set fees, thus helping you control your costs. In London in particular a virtual office really can help kick start your business.
