Why Virtual Office?

Typically, the users of virtual office services
would be those, but not limited to
Seeking a low-risk alternative to renting a
conventional office
Testing a new product or service idea
Downsizing from a conventional office
Migrating from using post-office box
Seeking to establish a business presence in the
provider's country or city
Seeking a business address within an expensive
location, for corporate image purpose
Seeking a business address as its registered
business address for complying to government
regulation
Seeking supportive business services such as
answering services

Risks Involved

While virtual office services offer benefits,
there are several criticisms
High volume of companies using the same address
Lack of government regulation, resulting in
fly-by-night providers
Usage by fraudulent companies due to ease of
registration
Lack of structured training of service staff, as
its a niche industry

Virtual Assistant

A Virtual Assistant (or simply VA), is an
independent contractor providing administrative,
technical, or sometimes creative assistance to
clients--usually to other independent
entrepreneurs and solo and small business
practices, such as that of a lawyer or realtor.
Virtual assistants work from their own office
(hence "virtual"), thus making it a fairly
popular (and growing) profession

Why Virtual Assistant?

A virtual assistant has his/her own office
equipment unlike the employee who needs software
and hardware, as well as a work space in the
office.
A virtual assistant works as an independent
contractor, therefore, you are not responsible to
pay any employee related taxes, insurance,
benefits, training or legal issues, etc.
A virtual assistant can be contracted on an
as-needed or an on-going basis, depending upon
your budget and your needs for clerical support.
Its a cost effective means to get the work done.
Online secretaries typically have a passion for
secretarial work, which is why they are in
business for themselves. Under most
circumstances, they become very involved in the
work given to them, as they begin to treat your
business as their own.
Very little training is involved, if any. They
are able to start working for you immediately.
You pay only for the time and materials used, not
for wasted time on the phone or at the coffee
machine.
You can focus your energies on the revenue
producing side of your business while a virtual
assistant does the "grunt work". The more work
you are able to delegate to your Virtual
Assistant, the more focused you can be on taking
your business to that next level, generating more
income.
Virtual assistants are committed to helping you
grow your business. Their livelihood depends on
your satisfaction and success.

Risks Involved

Lack of face-to-face communication increases
chances of miscommunications or misunderstandings
Technical difficulties hindering communications
or work progress
Feelings of separation or disassociation among
employees
Less camaraderie among workers meaning
possibilities for less cohesive work teams
Problems separating your free time from your work
time because your work is always "there"
Less convenient to run errands at lunch time
Feelings of isolation if you are always home
alone
Lack of support - both administrative and
managerial

Virtual Numbers

A virtual telephone number lets you choose a
telephone number from other local calling areas
outside of the geographical location where you
answer your telephone. Virtual numbers allow you
to add telephone numbers to your phone line so
that you are no longer restricted to one
telephone number per line.
Virtual telephone numbers have many benefits for
both residential and business users. For instance
imagine that your children where away at college,
they could call your virtual telephone number so
that they did not have to make a long distance
call to reach you. Many businesses are finding
that virtual phone numbers can allow them to
create a local presence in a local without
actually having to open an office there. For
instance you may wish to get a 212 phone number
in New York City to give the appearance that you
have an office there.
A virtual number can be used in a number of
different ways. It can be forwarded to an
existing telephone number so that you can receive
calls on your primary telephone line. It can also
be used with mobile telephones so that calls are
received on your cell phone. A virtual number can
also be used with voice over ip service or a
hosted pbx solution.
