Details of the virtual office

A "virtual office" is a virtual office as its name implies. This office is virtual, not real, but it is real. Are you a little dizzy? This is not true, but it exists. In fact, "virtual office" is a relative word. The name "virtual office" is aimed at "physical office", which is judged by whether the users of this office really own this office, whether they have the right to use this office and whether they work in this office. Users of "virtual office" have the right to use this "physical office" in name, but they don't work in this "physical office". They only nominally own the naming rights or naming rights of this "physical office" and use the house number of this "physical office", but they don't really work in this "physical office". The real owner of a "physical office" can be a user of a "virtual office", who can receive letters, parcels, visitor reception and other business activities on his behalf and hand them over to the users of a "virtual office". In fact, the owner of the "physical office" and the user of the "virtual office" are intermediary agents. Users of "virtual office" can print the business address of this "physical office" on business cards or promotional materials.

Whether the behavior of "virtual office" is legal or not is still blank in law. The two parties renting the virtual office service have a contractual relationship, and both parties should sign a service contract to clarify their respective responsibilities and obligations. Users who rent "virtual offices" advocate legitimate business activities. "Virtual office" allows users to have a business address at the lowest price. In the initial stage of starting a business and working, they can engage in business activities without spending a lot of money to rent business premises, thus minimizing the cost of starting a business. Users of virtual offices can also temporarily rent conference room reception services when customers visit.

As a new thing, "virtual office" has positive significance of the times. At present, there are more and more business centers providing virtual office services, and the industry needs to be further improved and standardized, hoping to get legal support. Virtual office providers, mostly professional business centers, are generally high-end office buildings with good geographical location. Each business center provides personalized services according to the different needs of "virtual office" users. The price of "virtual office" varies with the grade, location and architectural nature of different business centers, ranging from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan/month. For business centers, the "virtual office" does not need resources, the cost is extremely low, and the risk is only controllable, so all business centers tend to provide this service.

The prospect of "virtual office" is infinite!

When using virtual office and shared office, it is safe to sign a contract with the owner!

There are more and more virtual offices and shared offices, and more and more customers are using them. In this regard, legal experts believe that customers must first understand the company background of these rental offices and must sign contracts directly with the owners to be safe. Because if these "virtual office" companies are only second landlords, then the customer must ask the other party to provide the original lease contract signed with the original owner, and carefully check whether there are any restrictive clauses in the original lease contract that the owner restricts the lessee from subletting, subletting and sharing with a third party. Legal experts believe that most office owners will strictly stipulate in the lease contract that the lessee shall not sublet, sublet or share with a third party. If the lessee is found to have violated the terms of the contract, he will bear the unilateral liability for breach of contract and the corresponding liability for compensation, and the lease contract will be terminated immediately. Then, if the customer himself did not understand the ownership of the property before signing the contract with these second landlords, then once a dispute arises, the victim is the customer himself. Therefore, legal experts advise customers who want to use virtual offices and shared offices not to lose big because of small things.

What is a "virtual office" in the world?

"Virtual office" originated in Europe, America and Japan decades ago. English is Virtual Office, and English Virtual means "actual", so if we translate the virtual office literally, it is "actual office", not what we call "virtual office" in Chinese mainland. So, is the "virtual office" actually untouchable, or is it "actually" concrete and can be occupied? Why are there so many "virtual offices" in our mainland market today?

Is the "virtual office" actually intangible or real?

First of all, we have to answer that the "virtual office" is actually an "office" for customers who use its services. We call this "office" a "virtual office" because customers don't actually work in this office, or occasionally work in this "office". Usually customers work in their own homes or their own companies.

Then someone will ask, "Since the customer doesn't work in this virtual office, what's the use of this office?" Some people even ask, "If you already have your own company office, why do you rent a virtual office?"

The answer is: the "virtual office" is for freelancers and small companies in their early days. If Chengdu has Grade A office buildings, it will provide high-end virtual office services. Customers can use the address of the building as their company's fixed contact address, and always answer their calls as customers, introduce their company's business scope and answer some basic business questions for customers, make detailed and complete records of answering, answering, conveying and secretary's reply, and then transfer them to customers immediately. These customers can also enjoy the service of renting temporary offices and conference rooms, and receive their customers anytime and anywhere in the luxury office buildings of top office buildings, so that their customers will be impressed. It can be seen that for freelancers and small companies in the early stage of their business, adopting serviced office's services will undoubtedly save a lot of money originally spent on renting offices, and greatly enhance the image of their client companies. As for those companies working in remote areas and low-quality commercial buildings, they also hope that they can not only print the office address of Grade A office building in the prime location of the listed center on their business cards, but also hope to see their important customers anytime and anywhere to show their strength. And what "virtual offices" are there in the Shanghai market at present?

At present, there are three types of virtual offices in Chengdu:

The first category: the "virtual office" operated by global multinational groups. They own or rent a whole floor or several floors in the top office building in Shanghai, with huge area, novel equipment and professional management. Their customers are all Fortune 500 companies. Usually, the monthly cost of a desk exceeds 1 10,000 RMB. This is beyond the reach of early entrepreneurs in mainland China.

The second category: the "virtual office" and "shared office" with tens of square meters or 100 square meters are almost all rented from owners or developers for a short period of time, and they have just started business and are poorly decorated. The work area is very narrow and depressing. But the price is cheap. Often they can't handle foreign-related business and customers. Their office building is also in the third or fourth business district. Individuals belong to the better second category.

The third category: the "virtual office" service company whose office property is completely owned by the company itself is rare in Chengdu. Their luxurious office equipment, supreme office location, professional American management manager and senior Hong Kong management director provide high-end services, making customers feel at home in both domestic and international trade. And their charging standards are very competitive in the current Chengdu market.

How to choose a "virtual office"?

First, since the use of "virtual office" is to enhance the image of our company, then the choice of "virtual office" must of course choose the highest grade A-level office building in a prime location. Huaihai Middle Road (Maoming Road) is a prime location in Shanghai, and Yongxin Building, a Grade A office building, is a landmark building in this area. If the business card has the address of Grade A office building on Tianfu Avenue in Chengdu, it will definitely make customers sit up and take notice. Never affect the image of your company in order to save some money.

Second, in order to meet customers in the future, I can work in the "virtual office" anytime and anywhere, or meet customers. Of course, the transportation is convenient. If you can find a Grade A office building next to the subway exit, it is the first choice among the first choices.

Third, the office building where the "virtual office" is located must be well-known, and it must be a veritable Grade A office building, not the so-called "Grade A" office building it boasts. Not only the facade of the office building should be magnificent, but also the halls, elevator areas, floor corridors and "virtual offices" should be luxurious and exquisite, clean and spotless, and security personnel should be well trained. Only in this way can our customers leave a deep impression when they visit us.

Fourth, the property management company of the "virtual office" office building should also be well-known, so as to ensure the safety, neatness and order of the office building and provide quality customer service.

Fifth, the most important thing is that the company that provides the "virtual office" must have integrity and strength, and the office property is preferably company property to ensure that it has no worries. Would you feel safe if a second landlord signed a contract with you? Will it be practical?

Sixth, it depends on whether the company has a professional website. If a company doesn't even have a decent website, do you think they want to do long-term business? Also, if you are afraid to put your real photos on the website, be careful. Because most so-called virtual offices are crowded and depressed.

Seventh, ask more questions, read more and compare more. Spending one or two hundred dollars more can greatly enhance the company's image and make customers sit up and take notice, which is totally worth it, because cost performance is the most important thing. 58 City Office Channel has a professional virtual office!
