In today’s world, remote work has become increasingly popular. As a result, more and more businesses are opting for virtual offices to cut down on costs and increase their flexibility. However, not all virtual office providers are created equal, and there are some influential factors to consider upon making a decision, aside from just the costs!

In this blog post, we will discuss the top features to consider when selecting a virtual office provider. We are pleased to say that The London Office can help your business with all of the below services.

1. Professional Address

One of the most important features to look for is a professional address. Your virtual office should have an address in a prestigious location that will impress your clients and suppliers whilst giving your business a professional image. Not only do these addresses boost your business profile and increase confidence in your brand and image, but they also protect your privacy.

Perfect for startups, freelancers, entrepreneurs and SMEs, all our locations are within vibrant towns or cities, close to shops, cafes and other amenities – perfect for when you need to invite clients in, conduct an interview or accommodate a team meeting.

2. Mail Handling

A virtual office provider should offer mail-handling services. They will receive and sort your mail, either forwarding it to you (via scanning or physically), or storing it until you can collect it. Mail handling is essential for any business requiring a physical mailing address.

3. Phone Answering Services

A virtual office provider should also offer telephone answering services where they professionally answer your business calls, forwarding them to the appropriate person or department when applicable. This feature ensures that your customers always reach someone when they call and improves your business’s customer service.

4. Meeting Rooms

Virtual office providers should have meeting rooms available for their clients to rent. This feature is crucial for businesses that need to hold meetings or presentations but don’t have a physical office. Meeting rooms should be well-equipped with audiovisual equipment and have a professional atmosphere.

5. Flexible Services and Support

Any good virtual office provider should offer services to meet specific business needs. You should be able to choose which services you need and only pay for what you use.

As well as offering services, giving business support alongside these is also vital. The virtual office should help provide resources and support to assist your business’ growth. When you join The London Office you will have access to several discounts and offers to support you, whatever your business needs. From web hosting and payment solutions to accountancy services and more, our partners’ range of services will help you improve the performance of your business.

In conclusion, do your research! When choosing a virtual office provider, look for a professional address, consider mail handling and phone answering services, meeting rooms, virtual assistance, and business support services. Make an informed decision before purchasing to ensure your business has a professional image, excellent customer service, and all the resources it ever could need to grow and succeed.
