Home-based Franchise Businesses Benefit from using Opus Virtual Offices
For the second year, home-based franchise businesses are on track to expand faster than the overall economy. In 2014, growth of independently owned and operated franchise businesses outpaced wider job creation by more than three percentage points. This added nearly 12,000 new businesses, with an employment boost of around 235,000 new jobs.
Some of the most popular are mobile businesses like glass repair, cleaning and gardening services and other businesses where the owner is out in the field. In these situations, a virtual office is an essential addition to the home business. A professional live receptionist can answer and transfer calls so that new customers aren’t lost. The business owner can maintain a separate registered business address and phone and fax numbers. This keeps the company separate from the owner’s home life.
“Many people are realizing that starting a home-based business is a great way to become one’s own boss, with a recognized brand name,” said Opus Virtual Offices COO Dave Zimet. “But one key, practical issue they might forget when operating a business in the home is keeping their personal address and phone number independent of their business. A virtual office will help to maintain a professional business impression when they’re not at home with the help of a live receptionist. For one simple monthly fee, we can help any business owner stay connected and responsive to business opportunities while also maintaining their privacy.”
