Who uses Virtual Offices?
NLBC's Virtual Office Plans were created to provide specific services a company or organization needs without paying for the services they do not need. Each year thousands of companies from small law firms to fortune 1000 companies spend millions of dollars to open remote offices in a new city or area when all they really need is a business presence with a professional environment to occasionally meet with their clients, an address to receive mail and a professional receptionist to answer their phones.

Professionals and Consultants
Many professionals spend a large part of their time traveling from city to city visiting their clients. Maintaining a full-time office can be more work than it is worth, yet they need a professional administrative staff to receive faxes, mail and packages. For these professionals, NLBC's virtual office program is a perfect solution.
Fortune 1000 Companies
Large companies need to maintain the flexibility to adjust their business on a moments notice. NLCB's virtual programs allow these companies to establish a local market presence without the capital investment and the long term commitments involved with acquiring traditional office space. By utilizing the services offered by NLCB these companies can test a market before committing a large investment in a new city. As the test market shows success, these companies can move from a virtual program to a workstation, and then to a full time office without ever changing their local phone number or address. If the market test does not generate the expected returns the company can close the office, or cancel the virtual agreement, without incurring the large cancellation fees associated with traditional space.
Start-Ups
As new companies get started, they are faced with many challenges, including where to base their business, what phone system to use, how to have potential clients contact them and the list goes on. By starting with the NLBC Virtual Office Program these emerging businesses are able to have a professional receptionist answer their phone, list a business address on their business cards and letterhead and conduct client meetings in a comfortable meeting room. . Since resources are generally limited for emerging businesses, NLBC provides solutions that allow these businesses to focus their energies on growing their business and spend less time dealing with non-revenue generating activities.
Home-Based Businesses
Many business owners are able to enjoy the benefits of working from home, but need a professional environment to meet with their clients and a professional receptionist to boost their company's image. With NLBC's Virtual Office Program these businesses only pay for the services they need, when they need them. This helps keep expenses down while maintaining a professional image to prospective clients.
In many cases our home based clients have little need to bring clients to the office, but they build value in their business by having a business address printed on their letterhead, stationary and business cards. For these clients, NLBC offers the mailbox only program. This allows clients to boost their image without spending a lot of money.
