Working virtually makes sense in this day in age, not only for employees but also for small business owners.  It provides many benefits as long as you have the right people in place.

Here’s the top reasons you should adopt a Virtual Office if you are a small business owner:

#10   Cost Savings-This not only includes Office Space, there are also associated cost savings with commuting and the cost of attracting talent.

#9     Home Office Income Tax Exemptions-By utilizing a Home Office, there are tax exemptions that a business owner can take on your return as long as the space is used primarily for your business.  Seek advice from a tax consultant to be sure of the restrictions.

#8     Remote Workers-Virtual Offices do not have onsite employees as they have the ability to hire remote workers.  This means that the talent attracted can be located anywhere, virtually.

#7     Segregation of Duties-Now that workers are located offsite, you can work with individuals and tap into their talent for what it is.  One person may be gifted in Accounting while another is gifted in Marketing.  You do not have to fill a 40 hour week across one person.

#6     Part-Time Workers-Again, you can contract different talent for different services thus no need to fill a 40 hour week for one person.  And believe us, there are many individuals looking for part-time, virtual work. Also, when work is slow, you do not have the pressure of performing lay-offs.

#5     More Tax Benefits- With the ability to work with Virtual Workers also comes tax benefits as the companies/individuals that you contract with receive a 1099 at the end of the year which relieves your tax burden of an employee.

#4     Pre-Existing Equipment-Virtual Workers own their own equipment, i.e. PC, Fax, phone so there is no expense to you to maintain this equipment.  If it breaks, it is not your responsibility to repair or replace.

#3     Distributed Collaboration- Working with a team of individuals that are gifted with unique talents allows for greater collaboration and thinking outside of the box.

#2     Self-Management- Working from a Virtual Office allows workers to effectively direct their own activities toward the achievement of objectives which includes goal setting, decision making, and focusing, planning, scheduling including time management. Self-management provides workers with a greater sense of confidence thus having greater productivity.

And the number one reason you should adopt a Virtual Office is:

#1   FREEDOM, yes the freedom to work where and when you want to.  Isn’t that why you went into business in the first place.

To gain more freedom?  Virtual Offices allow you to work at 4AM in the morning like I am right now or to work from the Bahamas while your children are taking a nap from a long day at the beach!  FREEDOM, that is what it is all about, if we do say so ourselves.
