Private Offices For Rent

Have you ever considered renting a private office? Would you like information on some? How about details as to what you might be getting into if you do rent one? Read on for the answers to your questions and information to help you make decisions regarding private offices for rent.

Considerations

Renting a space to work from can be a bit fraught with many myriad choices. Do you just need to walk in and grab a seat so you can put your laptop down? Would it be better to have a dedicated area to do that? How about an office you can walk in and use at any time? How would you like a private office that is considered yours? Before you begin looking for private offices for rent, these are the questions you should start asking yourself.

Forafinancial says “Renting an office space will appear more professional, so your clients may take you more seriously. It’ll also give you a designated space to meet and brainstorm with clients.”

Solutions

Here at Officense, while we could rent you a desk area for the day, we are more inclined to rent you an office for the day… or month. We have a selection of private offices that, with the right plan, you could walk into and use for an hour or the day. There are also completely private offices for rent if that suits you better. These offices include desk, chairs and lamps. They are ready for you to walk in and claim for your own

Virtual Offices can be a blessing to businesses, especially for startups. Let me give you an example, Dave is the CEO of a Baltimore startup. He wants to keep his overhead costs low, but simultaneously have a professional address for his new business. At the moment, he is using his home address for his business, which can look unreliable to potential new clients. He was considering a virtual office solution for his company that would cost way more expensive. He has shopped around to various virtual companies and thus far has been unable to find a high-quality virtual office. But that was until he found Officense! Our Virtual Office packages provide a business address at a reasonable price.

Benefits of using business address

  • Provides real street address, proves that the company is legit
  • Provides a professional image to your clients
  • Protects your privacy
  • Receives mail and packages from all types of couriers
  • Can be used to register for LLCs
  • Can be accepted by banks and merchants

Virtual address with Officense

Professional Business Address is a smart decision if you don’t have a physical office space to meet with clients. Officense provides you with a mailbox to have your mail and packages sent. Choosing to get a virtual business address will increase your productivity and efficiency for your business.

Officense business address offer includes our receptionists sorting mail, scanning, and forwarding them as per your request. Not to mention, giving a professional business address will increase your credibility with your clientele. Of course, you could get a PO Box if you don’t have a physical office, but a PO Box doesn’t sound reassuring or make you sound legitimate either.

 In addition, a PO Box isn’t considered as a business address according to Google My Business, which just adds to the reasons why you should choose a virtual business address instead. A professional business address instantly improves your image, as well as your business. The way someone views your company or business is everything, that alone can influence how successful your business can be.

Deciding to have a professional business address allows you to keep your personal life and professional life separate. Also, a virtual business address can lead to other opportunities and other resources. One being, having a central location with easy access; and two, it creates more of a sense of stability for your business. If you don’t have a physical office location, your business address will never change even if you’re moving around and expanding your business.

Best Answering Service for Lawyers

Are you looking for the best answering service for lawyers you can get? Well it’s all in what you want, what you need, and what you can afford. This post will go over the variety of services that you can get in an answering service package. Then, I will show you what really is the best answering service for lawyers available.

Options

To truly be the best answering service for lawyers, it has to be flexible. There are a bunch of options that a lawyer could potentially need. There’s scheduling, simple call answering, there’s dealing with telemarketers and robo calls, and there is also dealing with irate clients. All of these things are likely to occur when you answer a phone for a lawyer. Lawyerist says “You can get a virtual receptionist just for answering the phone, but many offer additional services like appointment scheduling and confirmation, client intake, live chat, or even taking payments and getting retainer agreements signed.”

Scheduling

Scheduling is a headache in and of itself. The best answering service around may not be the best answering service for lawyers if it does not provide good scheduling options. These can include utilizing your calendar, using Google calls, setting up Zoom meetings, and a wide variety of other possibilities.

Nuisances

Everyone needs to deal with telemarketers now a days. There are also those obnoxious robo calls that just keep you waiting for someone to speak. Both of these nuisances need not annoy you any longer. The best answering service for lawyers will play middleman and ensure that neither call type ever reaches you.

Irate Clients

Finally, the best answering service for lawyers will handle irate clients with diplomacy and ease. They will know how to moderate the irritation and calm a client. They can sooth a client and they can get a client to relax a bit instead of being so irate. Finally, they will keep the irate client from calling you, yourself, at all hours of the day or night.

The Best Phone Answering Service for Lawyers

Officense has the ability to do all of these things and so much more. This is why we are the best answering service for lawyers. If you look at our website you will see we also have conference rooms available to rent, offices that you can rent by the hour, or on a more permanent basis.

FINDING YOUR IDEAL OFFICE SPACE

In the article Traditional Workspace or Virtual Office? Three Tips for Founders to Consider, they discuss the 6 fundamental needs people seek to meet through work. The needs we seek are the feeling of achievement, autonomy, belonging, sense of purpose, sense of security, and status. They believe that both traditional office space and virtual offices can fulfill these needs, and that it is about finding the right fit as a startup business founder. Of course, there are financial setbacks when finding startup office space. Most founders cannot afford to spend funds building their own office but want the appearance of a professional office. But renting commercial office space “can come with a hefty monthly price tag”. This is why I think that coworking spaces are ideal for new business owners.

The article also gives tips for founders to consider when starting their business. The first being to “obtain a work mailing address”. They suggest getting a P.O box, but to avoid having it sound like one. This allows you to look professional, even if you do not have a professional office space yet. The second and third tip are to use free virtual conferencing tools and to find conference room options with low rates. Utilizing free or inexpensive space is best when starting your business. But overall, as a new business owner, you should “create your own combination of traditional and non-traditional methods to achieve optimal space conditions”.

WHY COWORKING SPACES ARE HERE TO STAY

Another article, Why Coworking Spaces Are Here to Stay, explains that “young entrepreneurs are looking to coworking facilities to grab relatively inexpensive office space”. Because of today’s technology, “an office worker can be mobile and an on-the-go entrepreneur would simply be wasting money by paying for a full time office”. The use of non-traditional office space taps into some of the fundamental needs I mentioned. We want autonomy, the freedom to not work in one space for 8 hours a day. But as social beings, we still seek for a sense of belonging and interactions with colleagues. Coworking office space helps bring these two needs together. This is why “young entrepreneurs with new companies that require very little office area are starting out in coworking spaces to save money and meet others to collaborate with”.

OFFICENSE: YOUR OFFICE SOLUTION

At Officense, we can meet all of your coworking needs. We can provide you space to collaborate and be around others, while also giving you the freedom to make your own schedule. Our virtual phone and administrative services appeal to your need for autonomy. Our instant offices and commercial space for rent gives you that traditional work environment when you need it. We also offer you more than just a P.O Box. We give you a prestigious downtown address with virtual mail services including mail sorting, notifications, and forwarding when you need it.

CREATE YOUR IDEAL COMBINATION OF TRADITIONAL AND NON-TRADITIONAL OFFICE SPACE

We offer class A, fully furnished dedicated office space and month to month office space rented as needed, without the hefty price tag. There are conference rooms by the hour, at the low rates you need. You can avoid using your resources to pay an expensive monthly rent, while still having impressive office to use when you need it. We offer front desk reception, phone services, a business mailing address and beautiful startup office space overlooking the Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore. You are able to completely customize the way your run your business.  Create your ideal mix of traditional and non-traditional office space.
