The procurement of extra office facilities such as a telephone answering service can be beneficial to smaller companies, one expert has suggested.
A spokeswoman for Offices Please, a property agency that offers assistance in the acquisition of bespoke working environments for its clients, said that obtaining a "virtual office" can help to "qualify" smaller companies.
Sarah Ellis, one of the directors of the agency, said that by having a credible address, businesses can appear larger and more established and that the procurement of these services can encourage further growth.
"If you pay for a virtual office telephone answering service then you get your calls answered by a real-life person, who answers in your company name and who can take messages," she said.
She added that this forward facing service can aid in encouraging more business, but added that it was vital for entrepreneurs to ensure it is important to their own specific situation.
Office Please maintain that virtual office space is "a relatively cheap" outlay of between £50 and £250 per month.
