New Office Space Concept for Small Businesses

One of the first questions an entrepreneur must ask is where the startup company will be located. There are many options, all with advantages and disadvantages.

A business can start in a home office, which offers tax deductions, convenience, and very low overhead. However, working at home can be distracting and people often miss the social interaction of larger offices. Some have home offices set up because they enjoy telecommuting, but telecommuting is really only an option for people who work for larger corporations.

An attractive option for a startup company is a coworking, also referred to as a virtual office space, where office space is split between many small businesses. Our Beverly Hills’ virtual office package charges a monthly fee and offers all the amentities of larger spaces. Other arrangements may charge daily or even hourly for use of space.

A virtual office is also an option, especially for businesses that do not require a lot of time at a desk. Apollo Business Centers’ virtual office services include a physical address, usually found in remote office centers, and a professional environment to work at when needed.

An internet-based solution is to have a virtual team running the business. Each employee of the business finds individual office space, often in different cities, and communicates electronically.

More traditional office space can be had in the form of an office suit or executive suite. These arrangements come with a paid assistant, receptionist and charge based on the amenities that a business wants to use. This arrangement is also more expensive than some of the other options.

For those who feel coworking or an internet-based solution is the route they want to pursure perhaps a virtual office is their best option. A virtual office with ABC Virtual Office includes a Beverly Hills, 90210 mailing address, on-site private mailbox, mail handling and forwarding, conference room access, private telephone number and a receptionists to answer calls. All of these services are available for $75-$165 per month.

Push the image that you work from an executive suite, but enjoy the benefits of rent cheaper than your car payment.

Coworking is a Major Change for Small Businesses

For a small business to survive in a highly competitive environment like Los Angeles, it needs to be continually adapting to factors in the marketplace. If the business is not performing up to expectations, a change is probably needed. Changes can be evolutionary or revolutionary.

Evolutionary change is gradual and subtle, moving slowly towards goals. Gradual change has the advantage of being easy to adapt to, both for employees and customers. Evolutionary changes are also lower risk. Since these tend to be incremental changes, a business can use an evolutionary process to experiment with different options. If something does not work as anticipated it can be undone.

The downside of evolutionary change is that sometimes businesses do not have time to adapt slowly. Competition is fierce, and a business that moves too slowly will often be left with no viable options. Sometimes faster, more dramatic changes need to be implemented. This is revolutionary change.

Revolutionary change is marked by a quick and dramatic change in process, strategy, or product. While things can happen quickly, revolutionary change is hard to adapt to for employees and potentially customers. This strategy is also higher risk because if the changes do not work as expected, they can be hard to reverse at times.

Businesses must change to survive. Sometimes small, evolutionary changes are needed, while at other times, large, revolutionary change needs to happen.

A revolutionary change doesn’t have to be expensive. Signing up for Apollo Business Center’s virtual offices in Beverly Hills could be the revoltionary change your business needs by providing your company with a 90210 mailing address, on-site private mailbox, mail handling and forwarding, conference room access, private telephone number and a receptionists to answer calls. The Beverly Hills virtual office package is available for $75-$165 per month, and may provide your company with the revolutionary change it needs.

Virtual Offices are Attractive to Small Businesses

Starting a small business is a risky proposition. One reason for failures is that operating expenses are too high and the entrepreneur burns through capital before the startup has grown enough to cover expenses, such as office space. Southern California businesses can be more successful by operating with low expenses through Apollo Business Centers.

Coworking space is an attractive option in this scenario. There are many buildings that offer shared workspace where many small businesses all operate in the same office like at our offices in Beverly Hills. Within these arrangements, an individual can still have a private office space, but spread the costs of common resources, such as office equipment, restrooms and reception, over a larger number of businesses. Monthly rent for this Southern California virtual office runs at low prices between $75-$165.

In addition to lower expenses, coworking arrangements come with added flexibility. Because there is not a one-year lease requirement, a business can relocate with very little notice if needed. With the Beverly Hills virtual office package, a small business doesn’t need to worry about being locked into a contract that it may break at some point, so an entrepreneur will not need to worry about being personally liable for the balance of the lease.

The social aspect of coworking spaces is also attractive. At ABC Virtual Offices’, Beverly Hills location, clients often socialize and network among each other. We offer a cheap, professional atmosphere where you can share ideas and get feedback from other local entrepenuers.

The Benefits of a Virtual Office Space

What do you think of when someone says the word “office?”  Chances are – like most of us – you think of a physical office space, a space with desks and chairs and copiers and a receptionist and people bustling around answering ringing phones.  However, the Internet age has changed all that.  You might have a brick and mortar “real-time” office, but it’s possible you might have a virtual office instead. 

Surprisingly, more and more people are working from home as freelancers and consultants.  Whether the economy has driven this increase or whether workers are just finding it a more convenient fit, statistics show that about 20% of the U.S. workforce did at least some work from home last year.  And according to an msnbc article, “Monster.com saw a 46.2 percent spike in contract job postings in March compared to the same month last year…”

The result is fewer hard space offices and more virtual offices.  Today’s workers find the smart virtual office to be convenient in many ways.  For example, if you run a home Internet business, do you really want your business mail to come to your house?  Do you want your clients to meet with you in the living room, surrounded by children’s toys or barking dogs?  Of course not.  The virtual office space is the way businesspeople all over are managing the situation.

Like the virtual offices provided by such companies as Apollo Business Centers, Inc., you can get everything from mail delivery to a prestigious address like Beverly Hills, California to an hourly virtual office assistant.  You can rent conference rooms real-time, and have a “live” receptionist answer your phones and forward your calls.  Just imagine your clients seeing your letterhead with a Beverly Hills address.  They’ll certainly be impressed by the professional response they receive when they call, too.

All in all, the virtual office space is the wave of the future for businesspeople who are working from home as consultants or self-employed. They are convenient, comprehensive, reliable – all at a reasonable price. Why would anyone want to go back to the costly venture of a brick and mortar office space?

Image is Where It All Starts

Which business address is more impressive:  Pocatello, Idaho, or Beverly Hills, California?  Whether we like it or not, people make judgments about us and our businesses based on small things such as address or location.  Of course, people will be impressed with a Beverly Hills address for your company!

Now granted, the name “Beverly Hills” makes some of us think of the Beverly Hillbillies television show, but even those folks realized that Beverly Hills was “the place you oughta’ be.”  Even for Jed and his family, Beverly Hills brought thoughts of luxury, elegance, and sophistication.  All joking aside, though, that’s exactly what a Beverly Hills address represents – an image of established class. 

Your company’s image begins affecting potential customers from the moment they hear the company name.  You probably spent a lot of time and money performing research to ensure your company’s name was exactly right.  Well, you shouldn’t skimp on the address, either.  The problem is that most business owners can’t just up and move their companies to a new state or city in order to enhance that image with a chic address.

While you might not be able to move your company to Beverly Hills, you can still have a Beverly Hills address for your business enterprise – all through the wonders of the computer age.  Apollo Business Center can provide you with telephone and mail service, both.  We even offer virtual assistants to help you grow your company.

In our global economy, your customer pool is no longer just the folks in your neighborhood.  It’s the entire world.  A Beverly Hills address for your business is sure to start you off on the right foot.  If you would like more information about the different packages available through ABC Virtual Offices, please contact us at your convenience.

Customized Virtual Office

Imagine working in a brick and mortar office space – one day a week you need an office assistant, three days a week you need a receptionist, you don’t need a copier except during the last week of each month and then you use it non-stop.  The second week of each month you meet with clients to review their projects, but the rest of the month you are out of the office most of the time.  Regardless of how often you need these things – a real office space, a receptionist, an office assistant, or a copier – you have to get them and pay for them all month long.  Pretty expensive, yes?

The thing most people aren’t aware of is that virtual offices, like those provided by Apollo Business Centers, Inc., can eliminate those extra costs you pay for but don’t need.  With a virtual office space, you can set up a customized package for exactly the support you need when you need it.  You can arrange to rent a conference room or even a physical office, complete with computer and everything you need.  Perhaps you just need someone to answer your calls and forward them when you are unavailable.  Maybe you don’t like the idea of business associates having your home address for mailing purposes.  Or maybe you just like the idea of having an address in Beverly Hills that’s synonymous with sophistication and reliability.

Regardless of the reasons, many businesspeople are turning to virtual offices to help minimize costs while maximizing productivity.  Virtual help – including virtual office assistants – will take care of the hum-drum copying, mailing, and other standard chores, leaving you to focus on what you do best!  You get to spend time selling or following up leads or signing up clients while boring office tasks are taken care of – what you want, when you want it!

Business Startup Can Be Costly

Starting a new business can be a daunting task.  While you’re out there working to grow your new business, there’s no one back at the office holding down the fort.  How many hang-ups do you get on your office line, just because a “live” person doesn’t answer?  And the cost of a brick and mortar space – that can be sky-high depending upon the location.

So let’s see what you will likely need – as a minimum – to set up your office.  For starters, you will need the office space, itself, whether a small building or an office within a physical location.  Next you’ll need the furniture, including equipment such as computers, copiers, multi-line phones, and so on.  Of course you’ll need someone to man those phones, even if just to take messages or forward appropriate calls to your cell phone.  You’ll also need the capital to pay a salary to the receptionist.  All of those are just the physical items; they don’t include fees or operation capital for six months to a year.  They don’t even take into consideration that most places offer some kind of benefits package to that lonely receptionist if the hours worked are fulltime.

Did we say “daunting?”  Yes, we did.  A fulltime brick and mortar office space may be more than your fledgling company can handle right now.  With that in mind, why not shift horses from the out-dated idea of a fulltime physical presence, and instead consider maintaining a virtual office?  Many business owners are turning on to the office space of the 21st century – the virtual office.

With a virtual office like those provided by Apollo Business Centers, you can get all of that and more.  Do you need a “live” voice answering your phone when you aren’t available?  Do you need office space only one or two days a month – the rest of the time you are beating the pavement?  Do you need an office assistant one day a month to help with office-related tasks?  Instead of setting up a fulltime office, check out all a virtual office has to offer you.  You might just be surprised!
