Virtual Office Solutions: Addressing the Unique Needs of Emerging Entrepreneurs

Written by Metro Admin | 05/01/2014

Emerging entrepreneurs in Washington DC are in an extraordinarily challenging environment because they mostly work with a global client base yet their workers are increasingly comprised of field experts that are located in different geographic areas. That’s why these startups need to find flexible options for workspaces and are starting to invest in virtual offices in Washington DC to gain a competitive edge.

However, many businesses find gaps in computer literacy – which, in this day and age, is a bit surprising. They deem it necessary to work with information technology experts for service as well as consultation. But the setup mostly lacks face-to-face social interaction, especially when the business has no teleconferencing facility.

To solve this, a virtual office space provides a solution for entrepreneurs that want to connect with their technology service providers and clients. It can also bring an increased level of productivity, according to this article:

Productivity Levels

A greater part of the day can be devoted to job duties, projects and other work-related responsibilities because commuting time is eliminated. In some densely populated areas, commuters spend upwards of 10 hours each week just going to and from work. Telecommuters could put to use the saved time by dedicating more of their time to office work, or to achieving a work life balance by spending time with family.

Employees from the younger generations of workers--Generation X and Generation Y, in particular--find virtual work a tremendous benefit. Virtual offices and telecommuting offer flexibility, and the comfort of being able to work independently without conforming to work rules, such as a dress code and traditional work hours.

A Washington DC virtual office can be the solution for entrepreneurs that need to get a stronger handle on their business-related tasks.
