The Virtues Of A Virtual Office
Toronto’s virtual offices are making a real impression. Companies of all sizes, from freelancers to enterprises, are snapping up virtual space. They provide services and benefits that can elevate any company’s productivity and professionalism.
We take a look at Toronto’s evolving business space scene and explore the virtues of virtual offices.
Professional Appearance
One of the most sought after benefits of a virtual office is boosting your professional image. A virtual mailbox gives a business a prestigious downtown address, without the cost of renting physical space.
Having this address on your letterhead improves your credibility and security. Many lawyers, for instance, work out of their own homes. They’ll often choose to use a virtual mailbox instead of their home address.
In addition to adding prestige to their business, this also affords them the security of not listing their residence, making it a great alternative workplace solution for lawyers.
Having a Financial District mailing address isn’t just great for Toronto residents. It also offers opportunities to companies who service Toronto but are headquartered far away. A virtual mailbox allows you to expand your service area while establishing trust. Companies and clients are more confident when they see a nearby address. It shows that you are available and can handle their business needs.
The Financial District has the highest office rental cost in the country, nearly 100% higher than Toronto’s average rent. A virtual office provides this sought-after high-profile address without the price tag.
Many new companies launch without a physical address. For B2C businesses, this can make a company look less trustworthy and reduce sales. A physical address legitimizes your business in the customer’s mind.
Additional Virtual Services
A virtual office offers more than just a mailbox. A range of additional services that increase your business’ versatility and professionalism also exist. It the easiest and fastest way to upgrade your home office.
Taking advantage of on-demand services, like administrative support, keeps your business lean without sacrificing capability.

A Place to Go
A virtual office doesn’t just live online. Virtual office packages can also offer physical space. It’s a great alternative to coworking desk rentals if you aren’t in the office often, or don’t need a desk.
At our downtown Toronto coworking spaces, our virtual office users can use the lounge area as much as they need. The lounge is a great place to work, with high-speed internet and plenty of networking opportunities.
It’s a popular option for our virtual tenants who often work from home and need a change of pace. It also gives a professional location for informal interviews and client chats over a coffee.
