Should I have a Virtual Office?

Just because you need employees doesn’t mean you need an office with all that overhead. Why not build a virtual network of employees where you communicate with each other via phone, e-mail and fax to get the job done? An entrepreneurs couple, Greg and Anthea, did just that with their market research and analytics business, Outsell Inc., in Burlingame, California. During four years they ran the business from a traditional office space with employees and using Sliding Wall Dividers to organize the space. But in 1998, Anthea interviewed a highly qualified job candidate whose husband had recently been transferred to Maine.

So you want to work from home, but your growing business would benefit from having an upscale address? Hire a virtual office space!

Additionally, when applying for a mortgage, ensuring you meet pay stub requirements for your mortgage is crucial for a smooth application process. How many people are working this way in the US right now? A recent report estimates that over 20 percent of all US entrepreneurs are working from home this year. A separate report by LM Research, that surveyed over 5,000 US Business owners, suggests that 60 percent of all business consultants and services providers will be working from their own home within the next few years. This is the direction the world of business is heading in, and virtual offices are just...
