In addition to simple commercial domiciliation, domiciliation companies can sometimes offer you a real virtual office with a multitude of services . Let's find out what this is all about.

What is a virtual office?

The virtual office corresponds to a set of dematerialized services enabling you to manage the various components of your business via a personal digital space. While commercial domiciliation enables you to obtain an address for your company, all the services offered (mail management, dematerialized secretarial services, telephone answering service, meeting room rental, etc.) are structured around this to form the equivalent of a real virtual office.

The virtual office has a number of advantages for customers who have opted to have their company domiciled there.

Virtual office components 

There are many components to a virtual office, starting with an address for your head office:

Domiciling your company in a domiciliation center offers economic advantages (possibility of reducing the Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises, lower rents than for commercial premises...) and can bring you credibility and legitimacy, depending on your sector.

What's more, the virtual office lets you personalize your mail management. Depending on your needs, your mail can be stored, forwarded to the address of your choice, or digitized and sent to you by e-mail. Likewise, your calls can be managed by the domiciliation company , which will take care of the answering service and transfer calls where and when you wish. Better still, some domiciliation companies offer full secretarial services or personal assistants at your disposal.

Finally, you can rent meeting rooms or offices on an ad hoc basis to welcome your customers in a professional environment.

The benefits of the virtual office

In addition to these services, the virtual office offers all the advantages of an online business address:

The benefits:

  • Price : far less expensive and restrictive than renting commercial premises, a virtual office offers you a number of the advantages of your own premises.
  • Flexibility : thanks to the virtual office, you can manage your various services directly online. Activate them whenever you like. Your online office continually adapts to your needs
  • Credibility : provided by the fact that the company is domiciled in a prestigious area, which can ensure a certain legitimacy.
  • Protection of your privacy: compared to domiciling at your home address, it is always safer not to have to expose your private address.

Virtual office and domiciliation

Subscribing to a commercial domiciliation and virtual office is a great advantage for many companies. It offers many advantages, both financial and practical. What's more, with online domiciliation, you can now find an address and a virtual office in less than 5 minutes!
