Virtual office

[Golf Industry Central]

Hello

I would like to please get some feedback from people that are currently using a virtual office. Ive been researching the different ones here where I live, but all seem to be a little pricey for what my needs are. Im a start up company and dont need all the bells and whistles they provide.

Are there any out there that are just a space for use with bare basics?- sort of like a co-op approach similar to a youth hostel you stay at during backpacking trips?

Any ways- all feedback is appreciative. pros and cons of them.

cheers
Mike

Gday Mike,
we just set up a virtual office with Alltel, organised through the website below. We pay $49 per month for a 1300 number and someone answering the phone and taking a message 24/7.

Were are you based Mike ... even though virtual obviously means you can use a service based almost anywhere, you mentioned you may like to use office or boardroom facilities from time to time.

I know three virtual businesses - all Sydney based (northern beaches).

Thank you Morgan

Im based on Gold Coast- What Im after is a really cheap place that I can go to get out of the house to get some work done. One step above a library!! I miss the interaction and brainstorm ideas that come out of talking with real people.

But budget is tight and I need something under $100 a week. no phone- just ADSL, a desk, and some space to think. A cross between a youth hostel co op- and a virtual office. I dont care about the receptionist, can make my own coffee, but may need some small printing and mailing donw once in a while.

A no frills virtual office that I can go to a few days week. Do you think people would be interested in going to something like that? It doesnt need to be near a major cbd, but close to a train or bus station and maybe a few other amenities.

Is there anything like that anywhere?

cheers
Mike

PS Morgan - Im interested in chatting to you about your promotional products. I have a marketing portal and need more stuff to try and sell through it. Drop me an email or your web url. Ill try to find on here as well to see what stuff you provide.

A virtual office is an excellent alternative which can save up to 78% of the cost of traditional office services. For the small home-based business or the newly established organization, professional virtual offices offer a convenient and cost-effective way to create a professional image for your company. And for the established small business, virtual offices can provide the extra services and the sophisticated atmosphere that it needs to increase its productivity and profitability. The purpose of a professional virtual office service is to provide a professional business

I am also running a small business using this facility provided by valleyhq I am very satisfied and feel like I am able to increase my business now.

I saw an ad today for www.servcorp.com.au

It looks like exactly what you'd be after!

AVOID AVOID AVOID!

Serviced offices SUCK ... So many hidden costs ... seriously, avoid at all costs.

Have a look into co-sharing ... or go to

www.gumtree.com.au

And choose your state ... there are so many options right now for office space due to economic pressures.

Really ... avoid serviced offices at ALL costs!
