I see he's in the 800 number business, which is one of the many benefits of renting a virtual office. I also like what Melanie said: virtual offices only have upsides for their target audience. If you are in a city without a serviced office provider, this may be your only option. And even if you are in a big city like Atlanta or Nashville, this is still a good way to get your feet wet before renting an office. Bill offers a good testimony for virtual offices.

But a virtual office offers much more. While all those tools are needed in a distributed workforce, I think the virtual office adds professionalism, reliability and a laundry list of benefits that home-based businesses miss out on. For $100, it seems a no-brainer for entrepreneurs who want to make a good first impression There are any number of collaboration tools on the market, like GoToMeeting and WebEx… even Google has collaboration tools that are free.

We all work from our homes in different states, and essentially a virtual organization. This gives me more flexibility and more control over my life than any other situation ever could and I love it. It's the perfect situation for a lot of small internet based businesses. I found this article and read it because it mentioned 800 numbers and I'm in the 800 number business. But I wanted to add my personal feedback on the virtual office concept too.

The bottom line is, some companies are ripe for long-term leases; others are fitted for shared offices; and still others are best suited to home offices. But virtual offices have a clear value proposition for mobile professionals, start-ups looking for a low-risk venture, companies expanding internationally and others who need to test the waters before committing. Virtual offices will continue to gain momentum in a global economy. There really are no downsides to virtual offices — if you are among the target audience who they were designed for.
