Five benefits of a virtual office
Ok, you’ve decided that a virtual office is the way forward. You’ve established it offers you multiple benefits and will be a small price to pay for the advantages it will bring. So, just to clarify, you have definitely made the right decision, let’s break down the top 5 reasons why.
First impressions last
How often has your opinion of a business, or acquaintance, been changed by where they’re based?
It’s a cliché, but you really do only get one chance to make a good first impression.
Think about it, you’re on the hunt for some financial services; you’re thinking trust, experience, professionalism. Your browser then offers up a firm in the middle of nowhere just off the M1.
It doesn’t matter how good the services are – you’re never going to experience them because you immediately look towards more established alternatives.
Clients will check where you are. And they will scroll on by if it looks like you’re headquartered in the middle of a residential neighbourhood or outside of town. A virtual office gives you the location without the overheads.
Look after the pennies…
Starting at just £20 per month, renting a virtual office is the most cost-effective method of enhancing the profile of your business.
You can locate your business in the most appropriate location – whether that be the heart of the city or nestled in the Bohemian quarter.
But you can get so much more than just an impressive business address for your money. You can use it as a postal address and have your mail scanned and sent to your inbox in real-time.
You also have the opportunity to get addon services to complement your business, such as a Virtual Receptionist or a Virtual PA who can answer your business calls and deal with your admin.
All things considered, the value a virtual office can bring is well worth the expense.
Focus on what you do best
One of the key benefits of a virtual office is that it allows you to focus on your core business. After all, you don’t have time to waste.
A virtual office means you can ignore the concerns of a traditional workspace. Stationery, equipment, deliveries, staff access, even commuting and parking are all a thing of the past.
Your mail can be accessed at any time from the Virtually There Portal or sent to your inbox or nominated address.
And by adding a Virtual Receptionist, you don’t even need to answer your office phone.
Manage your virtual office anytime, anywhere
A virtual office is designed to give you control so it makes sense that you should be able to access it when it suits you most.
Using the Virtually There Portal, you can access your account, check your mail, update your business details or make changes to your subscription whenever you need to.
If your business is expanding and you need to upgrade to a Virtual Personal Assistant, you just need to log on and choose the addon.
Likewise, if you’re registering with Companies House and want to use your virtual office address, all you need to do is select the Registered Company Address addon. It’s that simple.
Cancel anytime
At such low prices, it’s unlikely that you won’t find value in a virtual office. But we don’t want you to be tied into something you’re not benefitting from, so there is no obligation to sign up to a long-term contract.
With our monthly plans, you can cancel anytime and we’ll terminate your subscription at the end of your current monthly billing period.
Alternatively, if you decide you want to sign up to a long term contract, an annual subscription will see you save the equivalent of 2 months’ fees.
Not all virtual offices are created equal
Choosing a virtual office in Manchester can be a real chore. Some providers charge exceptionally high prices, hide costs, tie you into long contracts and make it as hard as possible to cancel. So, we've put together some virtual office vitals that you should consider when choosing a business address partner in Manchester.

Who needs a virtual office?
Our Manchester Virtual Offices give your company the prestige of a business address in some of the most desirable locations in the UK.
Traditional ways of starting and running a business have changed. Once, you had an unquestionable, decades-old checklist of things a new business needed to do to become successful. These days, many of those items have fallen by the wayside and been replaced by new, remote working compatible options and virtual services.
Virtual office addresses have surged in popularity. They’ve done so, not just because they are a fraction of the price of a physical office or co-working space, but because of their compatibility with modern ways of working. For as little as £20 per month, your business can boast a virtual office in one of the most sought-after locations in the UK.
Once subscribed, you can promote your business’ HQ across your website, marketing materials, invoices, business cards, and more. Our experienced team will then manage and forward your post to you via the method of your choice and to the address of your choice. What’s more, your business reputation and brand will benefit from the status of your new virtual office address.
We understand that you may not need a virtual office forever. That’s why we offer monthly plans that enable you to call time on your virtual office anytime.
To get your new virtual business address today, choose your office, fill in your business details and we’ll process you through all the necessary procedures.
