Nowadays, rapid market transformation is very important to retain maximum flexibility and reduce operating costs. This is where the concept of Virtual Office comes in, which is not new, but it has certainly changed over the years and is still changing, becoming more and more popular for both small start up companies and large companies. Virtual offices are becoming increasingly popular in the world and in Croatia because they offer the advantages of a prestigious location, without the high costs of an actual office. At a time when more and more people are working from home, and with new technologies they can work from any location, virtual offices are the optimal solution for medium, small and independent entrepreneurs.

The advantages of a virtual office are numerous, and we will list only the most important ones:

• Flexibility
• Mobility
• Lower operating costs
• Modern work tools and software solutions
• Teleworking with the possibility of using the office as needed
• Various services required for all industries (e.g. Virtual secretaries, assistants, office administration, offices for work and meeting offices, e-commerce services for web shops, etc.)

The prices and services of the virtual office vary from company to company, but almost all of them in the basic package offer an address in the prestigious location, a mailbox, and the collection and notification of the received mail. These services belong to basic packages, which are of course the cheapest, but it is possible to take larger ones with extended services. Larger packages can include post scanning, landline phone number, receiving calls, use of lounge space, conference rooms as needed, nameplate on the door, and many other benefits.

Apart from the address at the prestigious location at a low price, you no longer have to spend your money on office space equipment (furniture, computers, printers, scanners, and basic necessities). Also, if you want to increase the number of employees, you don’t have to provide and spend unnecessary on extra spaces (https://www.poslovni.hr/poduzetnik/tri-strucnjakinje-zaposlene-u-tvrtki-kojoj-prihodi-rastu-4235696 ).

Virtual offices are especially suitable for small entrepreneurs who would like to save and focus their income on the more important things, while leaving the impression of a serious, reliable and credible business partner.

Of course, the offices can also be used by large companies that have recognized these benefits.

In addition to the address at a representative location, many virtual office companies also offer the rental of a physical office. Office rental is normally more expensive, but again prices are more affordable than rental of regular space.

A company located in a representative location will leave a positive impression on clients, and if we add a meeting in tidy conference rooms with the services of a secretary who will warmly receive you and serve coffee / water / tea, you will leave the impression of a true professional. You determine your own working hours, and you work when you are most efficient without the pressure that you have to do all the work by 5pm. There is no wasting time and money on coming and going from work, and thus you get more free time for yourself and your loved ones.

In addition to the services of the virtual office, it is possible to take the services of the virtual secretary, which helps you get rid of the boring administration (more: https://www.virtual-office.hr/how-the-Virtual Secretary-is-increased-the-income-of-many-Entrepreneurs/ ), or a virtual assistant that helps with a more complex task and makes your business easier.

It is interesting that today in Croatia we find an increasing number of companies that rent virtual offices, and it is very easy to find one that will suit your demands. Most companies are based in Zagreb, but there are also offices in other larger and smaller cities such as Split, Zadar, Rijeka, Varaždin, Osijek and Zabok. Office prices vary depending on location and services taken. The services are arranged in several packages, which you choose according to your needs.

Virtual offices are definitely a very affordable solution for anyone who wants to create a good company reputation, hold a meeting at a prestigious location and show their clients that they are a serious company, without spending a large amount of money.
