How to Grow Your Business with the Perfect Office
Wednesday, September 13, 2017, 6:00 AM | Leave Comment
With every year that passes, our definitions of employment become more diverse and dynamic. The same goes for our perspectives on what actually makes a business. Two decades ago, it would have been unthinkable to run a company without any kind of physical base, but it is common practice now.
Technology has given entrepreneurs the freedom to create their own definitions of success. It means that you don’t need a brick and mortar site. You don’t even need a dedicated, private office space to win consumers and take over the market.
All you need is the right set of tools, and virtual office providers have plenty to go around – your very own perfect office space.
Keep reading to find out why businesses of all kinds are turning to virtual workspaces in 2017.

No Setup Time Required
There are a number of virtual facilities located in New Zealand, and they are popular with entrepreneurs because they make it easy to launch a business.
With no long term leases and fully customisable office packages, they are ideal for getting started quickly.
Everything is set up and ready to be used, unlike a traditional office space. The facilities are run as a ‘pay to access’ resource. The décor, utilities, broadband, furniture, and other networking equipment are all offered on a fully formed basis.

Access to Key Skills
Yet, virtual offices provide more than just physical assets. They also put entrepreneurs and small teams in contact with freelancers, contractors, and other professionals. This is really important because most startup ventures have to juggle roles in the beginning.
They don’t always have a dedicated employee to handle web development, social media, copywriting, or telephone duties. What’s more, they don’t always need these services on a constant basis anyway. So, being able to hire ‘one off’ services is a big benefit for most.

Better Risk Management
Perhaps the biggest benefit of virtual offices and the most talked about asset is the ability to retain control. If you aren’t locked into a five-year lease or a rigid office package, you can make changes as and when you need them.
It is great for risk management, as businesses are much safer when they can adapt. The reality is that markets and economies will always fluctuate. There will always be tough times. The key to surviving them is remaining free to mould your resources and, thus, your expenditure.

Valuable Connections
Setting up a business can be a surprisingly isolating experience, even if you’re partnered with others. Certainly, for the first few months, most owners are completely preoccupied with the logistical side of the venture; finding a base, setting up utilities, and liaising with suppliers.
It can take some before there’s an opportunity to meet other entrepreneurs. Yet, this is an important part of making connections and learning from peers. With virtual offices, the physical space is shared with other tenants, and they are a diverse, creative, and dynamic bunch.

Why Virtual Offices Are Made for Expansion
The lack of restrictions set by virtual office providers is the main reason why they’re such a valuable resource for small businesses. If you want to grow and expand quickly, it’s not always best to operate out of a formal, private space.
Virtual offices can be utilised as physical workspaces, but they’re also built to function as remote assets. In those early days, when you’re not sure what your needs will be, they give you the opportunity to access high-end tools, without making big commitments to them.
