If the last year has taught us anything in business, it’s that virtual working is here to stay. Businesses all over the world have realised that they don’t necessarily need a physical office for employees to work in, with actual desks and water coolers. Our little UK Virtual Assistant company has been doing this thing for close to a decade!
So many businesses can work remotely, with employees working from home, in a co-working space, or even whilst travelling (if you’re lucky!). But what about needing somewhere to register your business or to receive mail?
Luckily, there are plenty of companies around who can help you do just this. You pay a monthly fee to use their address as your own virtual registered office address. Most can even scan your mail for you!
How brilliant is that! You could save literally thousands of pounds per year by taking up this very simple solution. No physical office needed.
