For small businesses, the benefits of a virtual office can be game-changing
or freelancers, self-employed people or start-ups, hiring an additional person full-
time to tend to jobs like managing correspondence and customer service isn’t always viable. But with a virtual office, even when you're not available, customers can reach you. Your mail is taken care of and calls are answered in your company name by a professional receptionist. A virtual office can also provide home-based and small companies with an address in a prime location, lending a feel of credibility and professionalism. Mantle Business Centres has premises in Stansted, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Duxford, Stevenage and, coming soon, Oxfordshire, and offers a full suite of virtual office services. The company answers 60,000 client phone calls annually, keeping things ticking over for customers while they travel, work from home and get on with growing their businesses. When you purchase virtual office services with Mantle, you pay a monthly fee to use the centre address as your own or, if you prefer, you can register at multiple centres, which enables your brand to have a presence in a number of locations. Prices start £45+VAT per month, £75+VAT per month for professional call answering (by an in-house team,
not a call centre) or you can get the whole lot for £99+VAT. For an affordable amount, these services can really help a business thrive and show the company in a positive light. As an added bonus, customers also get access to flexible, physical workspaces in a number of locations, whether you need a short- term working space, a private office for a couple of hours, a hot desk for a day or a cost-effective desk in a shared office, Mantle has a co-working option that is perfect for you. If you work from home, it’s an opportunity to get out of the house and work in a collaborative environment to help boost productivity: everything you need is provided, from a kitchen with tea- and coffee-making facilities to high-speed broadband.
There are also meeting rooms available to virtual office clients at a discounted price, which you can book by the hour to host clients, conduct business and make a lasting first impression. Virtual office clients are also offered complimentary tickets to in- house networking events at Mantle locations, with speakers from an array of businesses. These meet- ups provide an excellent opportunity for personal growth and business development, and the opportunity to make valuable connections, too. What’s more, breakfast is included.
