Telephone Answering Service

Our combined Virtual Business Plus + Telephone Answering Service package includes mail forwarding for both business and official mail, as well as a professional telephone answering service. This provides a huge saving compared to traditional office space and staff costs.

Using our choice of prestigious or premium Central London addresses as your business and official address not only protects the privacy of all company directors but creates the impression with clients and suppliers of an established business with its own premises.

Our experienced staff ensure your mail is forwarded to you and your telephone calls are answered professionally and promptly using your company name, with all messages sent immediately to you, so you never miss a call or opportunity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between your Prestigious and Premium London addresses?
Our Prestigious London addresses are located at 85 Great Portland Street and 7 Bell Yard and our Premium London address is located at 167-169 Great Portland Street.
While our Prestigious addresses will create a great impression with clients and suppliers of an established business with its own Central London premises, upgrading to our Premium London location ensures an even more prominent address at 167-169 Great Portland Street – a large, iconic and very attractive Edwardian building, steeped in London history.
Our Virtual Business Address and Virtual Business Plus clients at our Premium London address also benefit from our range of private meeting rooms for hire for up to 10 people, free tea and coffee, a fully-equipped kitchen, as well as access to our Business Lounge.
What are the fees for using the meeting rooms at your Premium London address?
Our Premium London address has a range of four modern, unbranded meeting rooms to comfortably seat up to 10 people for private meetings. Our meeting rooms can be hired by our Virtual Business Address and Virtual Business Plus clients at our Premium address for as little as £20/hour + VAT. Use of our meeting rooms also grants you free access to our Business Lounge.
Which of your services or combined packages allow use of the Premium London address?
You can choose to upgrade any of our services or combined packages to our Premium London location. However, only Virtual Business Address and Virtual Business Plus clients using the Premium location have the option to hire our range of meeting rooms, with additional access granted to our Business Lounge.
What is the difference between Virtual Business Address and Virtual Business Plus?
A Virtual Business Address can be used where you would show your place of business. For example, on your website and stationery. When business mail is received, we forward this to you or, if preferred, open the mail and scan and upload it to your dedicated client portal. Personal mail will not be forwarded.
Should you need to host a meeting or need somewhere to work from when in London, our 167-169 Great Portland Street Premium London address has a range of four modern, unbranded meeting rooms to comfortably seat up to 10 people for private meetings.

How frequently is mail forwarded?

How does the Telephone Answering Service work?
You can choose either a London (0203), Edinburgh (0131) or Ipswich (01473) phone number which you can either use as your own number or you can divert calls to it when you are busy. When your number is called, we answer it in your company name. We then let the caller know they are through to reception and that your phone extension is busy. We will take a message and their contact information, which are all immediately uploaded to your online admin account and sent to you by email and via the MYCO smartphone app.
What days and hours does your Telephone Answering Service operate?
Our Telephone Answering Service operates between 9am-5.30pm, Monday to Friday. (excluding bank holidays)
Does my contract automatically renew at the end of my 12-month term?
No, we do not automatically renew any of our services. We send a renewal email approx. a month before an annual renewal is due. These are followed by several reminders if action has not been taken.
What ID do I need to supply?
The account holder is required to supply proof of ID (passport, driving licence photocard, national identity card, military identity card, residence permit or visa) and proof of address documentation (utility bill, bank statement, mortgage statement, HMRC Notice of Coding) within seven days. This is to ensure that we comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and ‘Know Your Customer’ requirements. You will be shown where to upload your ID once your order is complete.
Do you accept parcels?
We accept an unlimited number of parcels, provided each is no larger than a standard shoebox (approx. 35x25x13cm) and weighs no more than 3kg.
