What To Consider When Looking For A Cheap Virtual Office
I was looking for a cheap virtual office in Hong Kong and being the greenhorn that I was wondered how I could go about. Since I wanted to start working part time and had limited budget, I wouldn’t go for the pricey and high end options that seem to be all over the place. At the end, I got the virtual office I wanted, but learned important lessons on what a person needs to look at while looking for an affordable office in Hong Kong. Here are important considerations to take into account.
The cost matters a lot, so you have to do proper comparison. A virtual office offers a lot of flexibility when compared to a full time office space and its also a better choice in terms of cost. But again, this should be determined by the nature of clients you work with because a posh office will be the right choice if you are dealing with high end clients. Also, make you ask what the rates include since some providers of virtual offices may require you to make some out of pocket costs if you opt for certain services.
Also, you should ask yourself about the level of service that is offered. Normally, there are a wide range of amenities which are offered, but each of them comes with a price. Some of the basic services include an answering service, but there are several alternatives about an answering service which you should take into account.
As I found out, some virtual offices can be accessed 24/7 while others can only be accessed between 9 and 5. You have to include this in your decisions especially if you are planning to meet your clients during off hours. Nonetheless, some office space providers would mark up the cost of extra services which they offer such as photocopying, receipt of faxes and scanning.
