Types of virtual office and its Advantages

A virtual office is a shared office services, allowing foreign companies or individuals working from home to have a permanent place of business in a particular country. The virtual office provides various advantages to the people. There are various companies that provide services for the virtual office which can usually be hired by packages or modules, according to every need.

Here are the some advantages of the virtual office:

  1. Reception of the correspondence.
  2. Management Service calls in different ways: voice mail box (voice mail), call forwarding or redirecting call (call forwarding) and call answering (receiving calls per operator).
  3. Fax reception service, usually through a system called online fax or fax to email.
  4. Rental of offices and meeting rooms for hours.

Types of virtual office:

  1. The business focused on local or onshore:
    Serving small businesses and traditional businesses which often serve as headquarters for them. They usually have good and high end facilities (offices and meeting rooms), because the clients often need to use them for presentations and meetings with various types of clients and corporate. There is very rigorous verification process for identifying the identity of their customers so that no scams or cheating activity takes place and the clients are not lured or conned.
  2. The offshore business focused:
    Such virtual office is dedicated to managing mail and corporate communications offshore and mostly people seeking privacy. They tend to be less demanding when it comes to identify their customers (although there are few cases where no request at least one copy of the passport) and handle personal information in a confidential way. This means that the verification process for the identification is not much strict. In many cases they do not have offices for rent service, since customers often conduct their business operations elsewhere.
  3. Combination:
    Of course there are also virtual offices who try to capture both types of customers local and offshore hence therefore they have all the necessary services which may be required to the client according to the business needs of the their customers. This is the case especially of those located in major business and financial centers.
