Opus Virtual Offices Wins 100 New Home Based Businesses in Six Weeks
NEW YORK—How fast is the virtual office industry growing? Although there hasn’t been any major study released, we do have some clues from reputable vendors in the industry. One virtual office provider that’s sharing some data is Opus Virtual Offices.
So far this year, Opus Virtual Offices reports that more than 100 home-based businesses have taken the virtual office plunge with its brand. From lawyers to plumbers, Opus reports that home-based businesses and solo entrepreneurs are turning to virtual office services to help increase visibility, image, and income.
“Premier customer service is key, but Opus finds many home based businesses are missing potential clients by using personal phones and voicemail,” explains Yori Galel, CEO of Opus Virtual Offices. “If a single operator is busy or out on a job, potential customers often don’t leave messages and simply call the next company which will speak to them live. Our virtual office solution insures this won’t happen because it includes live professional receptionists, business quality voicemail and call forwarding all in the $99 a month cost.”
Opus Virtual Offices has clearly hit on a nerve—the same nerve other reputable virtual office providers have hit on the home-based business front. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, more than half of small businesses in the U.S. now home-based businesses. There are good reasons for that, including low overhead, extra family time, and being your own boss. But there are also limitations with home-based businesses that virtual office space can help you overcome.
For example, many home-based businesses don’t operate with a full range of tools you come to expect in a standard office, according to an Opus Virtual Offices study. One example is telecommunications. Home-based business owners can be difficult to reach as personal home and cell phones do double duty. Virtual offices can help by offering an inexpensive complete business system that taps into modern virtual office technologies.
