From a broad point of view, you can say that there are plenty of advantages to mail forwarding. Remember the last time you missed a package that needed to be signed for? It’s a hassle and inconvenience, especially if you’re a busy startup.

The real benefit in a broad sense is that it’s one less worry. You can focus your attention elsewhere, which is extremely beneficial. This is advantages for a growing business in the following ways:

• Time – By not having to wonder around post offices or get a different delivery time arranged, you save a significant amount of valuable time. Time is so valuable to a business, technology writer Lisa Eadicicco said in Business Insider that “When you’re trying to start your own company, one of the biggest obstacles can be effective time management”.
• Stress – Dealing with post can be stressful, especially at larger volumes. An experienced team adept at dealing with all mail handling and forwarding tasks can alleviate stress so a startup doesn’t have to worry about post at all.
• Convenience – Sometimes waiting for an important piece of mail is just inconvenient, maybe you have an important meeting you need to get to instead of waiting at a certain location for a package. In a virtual office with mail forwarding somebody is always there waiting for your delivery – so you’re free to do whatever you need to do to grow your business.

The business advantages of mail forwarding and a virtual office are very much about freeing up resources that can then be devoted to the core values of your company. There are just incredible amounts of time and stress that are cumulatively quite damaging to a business.

If you could look back in a year and calculate all the time your business spent on handling post, it’s very possible you’d wish that time was used differently. This is what mail forwarding can alleviate, because you always know you’ve not wasted any energy in this area unnecessarily.

When you can’t receive a package and need to go to the post office on a Saturday morning it’s quite an imposition. A mail forwarding service can help this, but there are other areas that a virtual office can help a young business too.

These areas include:

• Phone Services – Do you find yourself on the phone dealing with queries or calls more than you’d like? Phone services let you keep track of your calls by having our trusted UK based team write them down and email them to you for you to deal with as and when you please.
