When the Coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. earlier this year, many of us retreated into our homes to work remotely. While working from home has its perks, it’s not ideal for everyone — and it can be especially challenging for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and start-ups.
Luckily, there are some great options that can help to improve and augment the work-from-home experience. Let’s explore some remote work styles and how each one can benefit you and your business needs.
Virtual Offices
With a virtual office, businesses can allow their employees to work from anywhere while also having access to many benefits of a physical office space, such as:
- A physical address in prime locations
- A team that can provide you with administrative and other support, like handling your mail and packages
- The option of a phone answering service
- Access to meeting rooms
Virtual offices aren’t just a good choice for individual entrepreneurs and small businesses — enterprise-level companies can leverage this option if they need more flexibility to grow or want to employ workers from across the country.
And the best part? You get to have a professional presence without the overhead of a traditional office.
Coworking Spaces
Coworking spaces offer a nice option if you want to work remotely but still have a professional workspace with perks like:
- A stable internet connection and power sources
- Proper office furniture
- Common spaces like a kitchen or sitting area
- Access to meeting rooms
Coworking spaces can also encourage networking (while practicing safe health measures and social distancing) and give you a sense of integration with your community. And, of course, they save you money versus leasing a larger office space.
Private Offices
A private office is an enclosed, lockable space in a business center that’s move-in ready. With a private office, you can enjoy:
- A low-maintenance — yet professional — space to work
- Office infrastructures like furniture, printers, and Wi-Fi
- 24/7 building access
- A place to make your own
This is a particularly attractive choice given the current coronavirus pandemic. With a private office, you can still work from home as you please, but also have a quiet, amenity-packed place to work when you really need your own space.
