What is a virtual business address and why is it so important for small and developing businesses?

​

A business address is a practical need for all businesses. You need a physical address to send and receive mail, for example. One way to secure a business address is through renting or buying office space, but these long-term commitments often come with expensive costs that can set your business back. Another way to secure a business address is through a virtual business address. A virtual business address is a service associated with virtual offices. It provides a physical location for your business communications, including mail, reception staff to greet your customers and sign for packages, answering services, and more.

​

Professional Image

​

Consumers are quickly becoming expert researchers when it comes to evaluating businesses. If you’re currently using your home address as your business address, this can be a knock against your credibility in the eyes of a consumer who is accustomed to seeing an office or storefront. Sharing a home address can also create security and privacy concerns for the business owner. A virtual address establishes a reliable point of contact and projects a professional image that is associated with successful, legitimate businesses. If you choose to add services such as a live receptionist and conference rooms to meet with clients, your business can further present itself as a corporate entity capable of handling clients big and small.

Local Business Search

As consumers turn to their phones to research and, ultimately, make purchasing decisions, it’s critical that your business is listed in business directories such as Google My Business. Without a physical address, however, your listing will not be verified. It’s imperative to choose a virtual office, like Office In America Co. that can receive the Google Verification postcard and notify you immediately of the code to verify your Google My Business listing.

This is important because business directories such as Google My Business provide basic contact information to prospects, including phone number and address as well as business reviews. These basic elements are important for convenience as well as increasing your business’ online visibility, where prospects are evaluating potential business partners.

​

Local Footprint

Some businesses need to establish themselves as members of their communities. A virtual address provides access to a shared office space in the area where their business is located. For a monthly charge, this can even include a physical listing on the office entrance as a way of reinforcing the legitimacy of your business (suite/directory listings can matter to Google as well). If you need to meet with potential clients or other area business leaders, a actual mailing address secures access to this space.

​

Business owners must be creative and carefully evaluate all of their options. Instead of wasting money on expensive office space, a virtual address provides business owners with practical communication resources while also building trust with consumers, lenders, and their local community.

​

Are virtual offices a good fit for nonprofits?

​

Nonprofit organizations are unique in that any profits are designated for reinvestment in the organization’s cause. This model creates a long list of challenges, and nonprofits must have a creative approach for sustainable success. A virtual office presents a perfect opportunity for nonprofits to tackle those challenges by cutting overhead costs, increasing operational efficiency, and making a bigger impact on their chosen mission. Here’s how a virtual office is a perfect fit for your organization.

Lower Costs

​

The most significant challenge that nonprofits face is a lack of funding, and they must maintain disciplined budgets to account for this challenge. Rising commercial office leasing rates have left them with limited choices for nonprofit office space. A virtual office provides organizations a cost-effective solution without sacrificing location, capabilities, or reputation. Office In America Co. offers professional office space with modern amenities, including a Class A building, a live receptionist and a premium telecommunications system, meeting rooms, and more.

Boost Professional Image

​

Organizations can build trust with potential donors or clients by inviting them to face-to-face meetings in a reserved meeting room or an office suite. Our professional spaces and staff will help alleviate any fears they may have, and you can show them that your organization is reliable that’s invested in making a positive impact.

Get In the Action

​

Nonprofit employees and volunteers are usually drawn to the field out of a sense of duty. That duty usually includes getting out of the office and into the action, where they can help people directly. Office In America Co. gives organizational leaders the opportunity to get off the phone and reconnect with their original inspiration. Our phone answering professionals are not randomly assigned placeholders. They are trained extensions of your team that you can rely on while you get back to the work you truly care for.

Is this the same as a P.O. Box?

​

No, an Office Address Service and a P.O Box are not equal although they have services about mailing.

Office Address Service:

It portrays you as a legal entity with some longevity to your clients, partners and government officials for which it is very suitable if the company would like people perceive him professional. Typically, Office Address Services provide a venue for meetings and other optional activities based on the service provider you choose.

P.O. Box:
Contrastingly, a post office box is an address at the P.O., or some other sort of facility serving that function. It serves as a mailbox that is useful for receiving letters and parcels, but it lacks the features of an Office Address Service in terms of delivering professional business address. P. O boxes are also seen as personal mail and for business-related activities like corporate registration or some promotion materials, the use of a p o box addresses may be accorded preference over any other address Whilst P.O Boxes can serve as a reasonable solution to ensure the security and confidentiality of personal mail, they do not provide a professional image for businesses like office address service doesAs such!
