2 Introduction What is a virtual office? Whether you re a home-based business or an established company looking to expand into a new geographic area, there are occasions when you need access to the benefits that are associated with business premises but don t want the commitment of a full-time office. A virtual tenancy with NWES Premises offers a simple, cost-effective solution by providing the appearance of commercial premises without the overheads of facilities, business rates and rent. Why have a virtual office? If you re a home-based business: Virtual tenancy helps project a more professional business image by eliminating the need to use your home address. You can choose any one of our enterprise centres across the region as your virtual office and utilise the address for all your business correspondence. We will handle your mail and forward to your chosen location as well as sign for any parcels you may wish to be delivered to the centre. Furthermore, if your business requires significant travel and takes you on the road, we can eliminate the risk of missing important calls by allocating a local telephone number to your business and answering calls in your company name. If you re an existing business: There are times when the location of a business can impact customer decisions when sourcing a supplier or service - people are often more confident doing business with a company that has a local presence. Our virtual office sites can offer geographic representation across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk, so for a company looking to expand into a new location or establish a satellite office away from their head quarters, a virtual office is an ideal means to achieve this. 2
