3 reasons why businesses need a virtual office

We talk a lot about the most important things affecting businesses, and often at great length of the landscape companies have to face. There are profound insights to be made – but every now and then we like to keep things a little less cerebral.

We’ve gained a lot of experience over the years, so now we ask – what are the 3 top reasons why businesses need a virtual office from us? We will answer this question here so that when you choose your virtual office package, you will realise how our customers view our service.

1. Convenience

This is one of the biggest reasons people use a virtual office. It’s just so damn convenient to use a virtual office, especially if you’re a home run company. It can really make life much simpler for an entrepreneur.

Retail editor Kim Bhasin wrote in 2013 that the virtual office concept is in fact so convenient that it is threatening the existence of office retailers themselves. He said “The biggest threat is the fact that workplaces are going digital, making the decline of the office supply industry a reality”.

Taking your calls, post and meeting space needs and putting them into the reliable hands of a virtual office provider means you’re given valuable business time to spend growing your company. It’s about liberating yourself and focussing your energies where they are needed, and it’s a top reason why our customers make use of our service.

2. Configurability

If you’ve come to the point where you need a virtual office it’s possible that your needs will change from time to time. As a result, our customers are keen to get a package that is configured for their needs.

To help with this, we provide flexible mail forwarding services where you can pay-per-item. With a huge amount of different options and configurations across all of our services – customers can find a package that really suits them.

The bespoke nature of a modern day virtual office, where a business can simply choose the features that they need, makes it an ideal flexible solution for our customers.

3. Capability.

A big appeal of our virtual office services is the capability and reliability we provide, with many people detailing the professionalism and reliability as key aspects of the service. For this example, we will look at a small case study of one of our customers.

The The Workplace Depot is one of the UK’s largest industrial and e-commerce companies operating with a network of over 75 distributors and sourcing products from over 120 suppliers worldwide. The company continues to grow steadily. Hence, looking for a new virtual office in London. They described their experience in detail for us:

“After a quick Google search, we found MadeSimple’s offer of virtual offices in London. We chose MadeSimple because they offered everything we have asked for – and the service was prompt and reliable. The range of services and the depth of information available on the website was what has convinced us to sign up.

Their services are also incredibly well structured so you get exactly what you need and nothing less or more. The service level was perfect from start to finish. We were incredibly well looked after and everybody we talked to was reliable and quick to answer all our questions. Overall, a great experience. Would totally recommend”
