How can a Virtual Office help you?

Case Study: Suzanne
Type of Business: International Business Consultant
Location: Dubai, UAE; USA
Services: New York Virtual Office Business Address Rental, Mail Handling, Overseas Mail Forwarding, 212 Manhattan Phone with Email Forwarding of Messages

Suzanne is an international business consultant.  She was contracted over three years ago with an offer she couldn’t refuse by a company in Dubai. The only problem was that she would have to be in Dubai within the end of the month for a few months at first with the understanding that she would eventually have to relocate there for a contractual 3-year term.

Suzanne immediately started to work on her temporary move. She was overwhelmed with the necessary steps to take, knowing that she only had a couple of weeks to get her ducks in a row before her initial 3-month stint in Dubai.

Advised by her business associates, Suzanne turned to VH International Business Solutions for help. She opened a New York Virtual Office and a 212 New York phone number with email forwarding of incoming voice messages. Her initial instructions were to have her mail forwarded sporadically and on demand to Dubai during her temporary stay; then once a month after she made her 3-year relocation.

Having no time to get in touch with everyone on her contact list, Suzanne opted to have all of her mail forwarded to her new New York office address. She also hired a property manager to work on the sub-rental of her residence and moving her belongings into storage.

Within 6 weeks of opening her account, she emailed VH International Business Solutions’ customer service department to request to have her first batch of mail forwarded to her in Dubai. Knowing that there were many important documents having to do with her permanent relocation, she requested to have her first batch of mail forwarded via courier. To Suzanne’s delight, her package arrived safety and within a few days after leaving New York.

Suzanne’s 3-year project in Dubai is coming to an end – and she’s getting ready to move back to the States within a few months. She still gets her pack of mail from VH International Business Solutions once a month.

Suzanne is thrilled with the level of service received and still can’t believe how easy it was to manage her presence in the United States, while still being on the other side of the world.

Sadly, yet understandably, we’ll only have Suzanne as a virtual office client for just few more months after she moves back to the United States. It was a pleasure having her as a client and are equally excited to continually serve the additional 2 clients she has since referred to VH International Business Solutions.

Thank you Suzanne, and good luck.

How can VH International Business Solutions help you?

Want bring your business international?

It’s easier than you think with a Manhattan virtual office from VH International Business Solutions!

Do you have big plans for your business? Of course you do! The Internet has made it easier than ever to market to a global audience so why wouldn’t you take the opportunity to expand your business? It’s a fabulous idea but many business operators have found that while they can reach prospective clients all over the world with their advertising, getting overseas clients to advance to the stage of placing an order is a different matter, particularly if you don’t have any overseas offices. Here are three of the main reasons for their reluctance:

1. People like to shop locally. This can apply to corporate clients as well as individuals.

2. When you’re ordering from an interstate or overseas business, there’s a nagging doubt that you’ll receive the product or service promptly. When you don’t have a street address people can relate to they can have difficulty forming an opinion on the size and professionalism of your business. When in doubt, they’ll revert to a local supplier.

3. Credibility – if the business is run predominantly online, is based overseas or interstate and has no street address displayed, it raises doubts as to whether it is a legitimate operation. At the very least it raises the concern that if you pay your money and your product or service doesn’t arrive there is no way of tracing the perpetrator.

Of course, setting up physical offices overseas is a major expense and one that is out of reach for the majority of business operators – but there is a viable alternative. A Manhattan virtual office from VH International Business Solutions is your answer. Starting from just $25 a month you can have a Manhattan office. You’ll be able to use the prestigious office address, and have mail sent to your Manhattan address and forwarded to you. You can even take advantage of a Manhattan phone number that diverts to your number or to a message service. Live call answering is also available for your overseas Manhattan office! And if you’re ever in the situation where you need to meet clients in Manhattan, you’ll be able to book office space to use at your physical Manhattan office address.

If you’re planning to go international, a Manhattan virtual office will get you off to a great start without costing you a fortune.

You’ve decided it’s time to step up and into your own small home based business – but you want to make sure you get it right so you don’t suffer financially, right? It’s common knowledge that many small business start-ups fail quite quickly, and home based businesses are no exception. There are many reasons why home based businesses fail. Here are just two things that can contribute to the failure of a home based business:

Inability to attract clients – particularly corporate ones – due to a perception of the business as a small home based operation;
Poor customer service including a failure to respond to prospective clients in a timely and professional manner, leading to a loss of business;

If you’ve done your market research and you’re confident you have sufficient funds to survive the early growth stages of your business you’re well on the way to success. The next step is to ensure that your business appears professional and that you’re able to attract good clients and communicate with them in a professional manner. A Manhattan virtual office from VH International Business Solutions can help you with that – and from as little as $25 a month!

With a Manhattan virtual office you can:

Have a physical Manhattan office address for your business. The address can be used on your business cards and clients can send mail to you at the address. Any walk in clients will be able to leave a message for you at our staffed reception area.
Have a Manhattan telephone number. Calls to your Manhattan virtual office number can be forwarded to you or to a message bank. Alternatively, you can arrange to have a live operator answer all your calls during business hours and take messages personally.
Arrange meetings or presentations at your Manhattan location – VH International Business Solutions has meeting rooms and offices available for short term hire at inexpensive rates. That means that when you need to be “at the office” physically, you can be.

You might be years away from being able to afford office rental in Manhattan – and perhaps you don’t aspire to that at all – but a Manhattan virtual office can give you many of the benefits of a great office address without the expense, or the need to travel to the office!
