When you start a business, it can be surprising to discover which tools are important. There are many elements that you simply will not know that require specific tools until you dive into the work. The same is true when you make the transition from a traditional office setting to working virtually. It can be difficult to predict what tools you will need to make working from home a success. The best course of action is to make sure you have access to a wide range of tools to help with the transition. A virtual office is something that can provide you with valuable tools as you start working remotely.

Professional address

The first items you think about needing as you move to a remote work model likely include things like a desk, ergonomic chair, and various types of technology. The physical and practical items are an essential part of setting up an at-home workspace. One important tool you may not have thought of for your business is a professional address. When you have a physical location, you may not put a lot of thought into the importance of your business address. You have an address that people can find online and mail can be delivered to when needed. Moving to a virtual work model eliminates that element. This is often a case of not know what you’ve got until it’s gone. A professional address helps establish the image of your business online and helps you stay in compliance will laws regarding email marketing – you are required to include an address in the emails. A professional address can also provide you with a place other than your home to have mail and packages delivered. A virtual office can provide you with the important tool of a physical address.

Business phone number

Moving from a traditional office to a physical location may also eliminate your access to your business phone number. Many businesses continue to use landlines and phone systems in traditional office settings. Switching to remote work can remove that and cause you to make some choices when it comes to how customers will contact you. Do you want customers to have your personal cell phone number? Do you plan to get a second cell phone for business purposes? Do you want a more traditional setup that includes a separate business phone number? If you want a separate business phone number, you can get it from a virtual office along with messaging services. This is a valuable tool that a virtual office package can provide and help you keep some separation between your work and personal life.
