The COVID-19 pandemic has caused businesses to halt or pause operations, and people have been forced to stay at home amidst the rise in the number of infections. It is only now, months after the first case was reported in Wuhan in December 2019 that most countries are easing restrictions and restarting the economy. In that time, COVID-19 has brought about some serious changes in the world of business.

With technology at the center, most stores and offices remained close and employees were able to work from their homes, all while customers purchased their needed goods online. This setup has raised questions regarding the need for businesses to maintain office spaces moving forward. Such a predicament led to a new trend in office spaces, which has actually been available for some years already: virtual offices.

What Is a Virtual Office?

 A virtual office gives your business a physical address. It allows your employees to work anywhere, while at the same time able to provide office-related services.

A virtual office provides:

• An address where all your emails can go
• A receptionist who accepts walk-in customers and arranges meetings in and around your virtual office, making it seem a little less virtual to your customers and colleagues
• Meeting rooms for rare occasions when you need to discuss business with a client or a colleague
• Phone answering and voicemail services that manage incoming calls through a real landline number, making your business seem more legitimate

Benefits of Renting a Virtual Office

 There are a number of companies offering virtual office space for rent.

With the COVID-19 pandemic set to last for a few more years, you might want to think about renting a virtual office. Below are some of the benefits of having one.

Dedicated Space for Office-Related Services

 While working from home and completing transactions online have been on the rise during the pandemic, there are still customers who prefer traditional business methods, such as making phone calls for customer service, sending emails, and visiting company offices for concerns.

A virtual office can provide you with all of these without the need to maintain your own office. Otherwise, you would have to give your home address and personal phone number. As an employee or a CEO, you wouldn’t want this because this means receiving calls even during ungodly hours or having personal mail mixed up with business mail when it reaches your house.

Very Cost Efficient

 Having a virtual office saves you a lot of money. Your own office will come with a ton of secondary expenses, including cleaning, repairs, and maintenance. Further, you would also have to buy lots furniture like desks, chairs, air conditioning units, and computers. You have to pay for utilities like electricity, water, internet connections, and many others. With a virtual office, you could use the money on more important things like expanding your marketing or scaling up your production, which could help your business earn more.

Adds Legitimacy

 Most businesses today start at home. The pandemic has brought a rise in small online retailers, from bakers to clothing retailers. Having a virtual office adds more legitimacy and authenticity to your business in your customers’ minds. This is because they feel like there is a physical location where they can reach you instead of just your house.

Hassle-Free for Employees

 Working from home is actually favorable for most employees. It saves them the time, money, and hassle of commuting to and from the workplace. Having a virtual office gives your employees flexibility in their working arrangements, and the time saved on commuting increases their productivity.
