Get Your Virtual Office

Virtual offices offer a wide range of benefits as they can help a business win more clients by improving the company’s reputation, save time and money, and increase productivity. In addition, they offer support for scaling, as a business can easily shrink or expand according to the workflow. 

For example, they make a business appear more legitimate because the services that they provide make clients and customers believe that the company operates from a specific location. Also, virtual offices save a company’s money because business owners do not have to pay high overhead costs, such as bond, rent, equipment, IT services, or high employee costs. They save a company’s time as well because managers and employees do not have to travel or commute to an office to work. Remote work increases productivity as it allows them to live a healthier work-life balance and enjoy a stress-free work environment. 

And last but not least, they offer unlimited access to top talent, meaning that managers can recruit and hire the finest talents in the world to work remotely for their businesses.

Virtual offices provide benefits to just about any business professional. Whether you are a start-up business looking to minimize expenses, a government official looking for a presence with support services outside of Victoria, or a more established entity looking to expand your business in the Vancouver, BC market, a virtual office could be the ideal solution for you. Virtual offices are a cost-effective way of creating a business presence while deciding if a physical presence or full-time office support is necessary and can greatly increase speed to market for a new business. Virtual offices can be used for a variety of things including business mailing addresses, branch offices, or as a professional meeting place.

A virtual office is a flexible and affordable office that a company can rent monthly as an alternative to a physical office. Virtual offices provide a company with a business address and many other significant benefits but without the company working physically from that office space.

For example, we offer a permanent landline, mail forwarding service, secure business mailbox, virtual receptionist, etc. The only difference is that the services included in a virtual office are based on modern technology and come in “virtual form”, meaning that a company that uses them will have the appearance of a professional business while operating remotely (not on the premises).

Therefore, businesses that use a virtual office allow managers and employees to work from anywhere in the world (a home office, a café, or any other place) while customers, clients, and suppliers believe that the company is located at a specific address (where are actually located the premises of the virtual office provider).  

There are no hidden fees or additional expenses unless otherwise agreed upon. Such as printing, mailing services or additional meeting room hours above your membership allotment.

Basically all services you need to startup will be included in the plan you choose.

But we have many additional high tech and special services where you may like to add in the beginning or during time. You can view all of these on the plan you book or products page.

Indeed all hot desks (and some call flex desk) are included in the Coworking Membership plans we offer. You just come and sit wherever you want.

Meanwhile if you want your own desk we have dedicated desk options or your very own Private Office options.

There is no commitment on Coworking Membership and Virtual Office plans.

We don’t charge for a membership until you are ready to use it, generally when you are ready to join, come in or visit our member portal or use mobile application to get it going.

There are many easy ways to book a meeting room:

1. Using our mobile application on your phone.
2. Using tablets in front of meeting rooms
