Many people make their mind up on a matter and then, no matter how irrational, use this to guide their lives.

They will not use the A449, for example, because it is ‘always full of traffic restrictions’. This is despite the fact that the dreaded cones, which made life hell for 15 months, disappeared over five years ago.

A few moments thought will produce other examples – you may have your own prejudices which are no longer founded on actuality.

Years ago the concept of a virtual office was looked down upon as being the resort of someone who could not afford a proper office, or get a position in a large company.

That is certainly not the case now as being able to provide a full call-handling service and having a professional business address, all at affordable prices, is now seen as an ideal model for many smaller businesses.

Without the major huge investment in a permanent office, and personnel, there is neither long term commitment nor considerable additional employment and service costs to act as a continual brake on the profits.

The virtual office will also provide much better customer service. Calls will be handled personally and, where it is not possible to transfer these, the receptionists will take a message. Customers no longer have to suffer an answer phone, or the dreaded engaged tone.

With a professional reception service, business address and associated serviced offices for occasional hire; virtual offices are recognised as the best solution for a growing number of businesses.

And that is fact. Ask the accountants.
