A virtual office? 5 reasons why

5 good reasons to set up a virtual office.

1- No rental costs

You don’t need to have dedicated office space. Work from home or on the train in between meetings. Get moving and get your business off the ground while a receptionist fields your calls at your virtual office.

2- No Start-up costs

You don’t have to worry about office supplies; computers, desks, printers etc. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Focus on the business and don’t worry on whether or not all these purchases are a wise investment.

3- Staff benefits? What benefits?

You don’t have to worry about full-time or part-time benefits, sick leave, health insurance or holidays. These are all just unnecessary complications. Starting up you need to concentrate on making cash, not on your staff’s work-escapism.

4- Flexibility

There is a wealth of options, packages, and offers to chose from. You can find the service that best suits your needs, whether they include 24 hour telephone answering, or meeting rooms in central London.

5- Professionalism

Give your potential clients the right impression with a prestigious office address and receptionists who answer every call in a timely manner and in your company name. No one wants to hear you are actually just working out of your shed.

Serious challenges

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land – a nagging fear that America’s decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America – they will be met.

On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.

…

‘Era of peace’

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

Top tips for your London meeting

Leave a reply

Good morning! August is over and everyone’s coming back from their summer holidays ready for the new busy business season. The offices are filling up again and managers are organising new meetings to train and inform their team, work with partners or speak with clients.

Last week we spoke about the best venues for an event or dinner in London, trying to give you a suggestion for every need. This time we thought we’d drop a few hints to shape an efficient and organised meeting. So without further ado…

Here are the top tips for a good meeting:

  1. Communicate timing to all members: Date – place – time – don’t rely on someone to spread the word for you.
  2. Ask every person involved if he/she has any particular topics to add, aside from the main agenda.
  3. Involve a person as an assistant to help you in the organisation of the meeting (to prepare material, presentation, issues and to take minutes).
  4. A choice of snacks, hot drinks or biscuits will bode well for getting your team members’ attention.
  5. Send everybody the minutes immediately after the meeting.

You don’t have a meeting room in london? And you need one? London Presence can help you on this front too: you can have a large comfortable meeting room in the centre of London for as long as you need it. And above all you can have a cheap meeting room close to the City and easy to find by bus and tube. Click the ‘meeting room’ tab to find out more.
