6 reasons why a N1 London address makes your business one of the cool kids on the block

Leave a reply

1. Everyone knows where London is. Sounds obvious but having your registered office and mailing address in London says so much in the business world. Of course having a business address anywhere else is fine, but having a London address really makes a statement about your business and aspirations.

Silicon Roundabout

2. “Tech City B**ch, Tech Tech City B**ch”. N1 is where Silicon Roundabout (tech startup city) is based. Data released earlier this month reveals that for the second year in a row, the area has spawned the most new enterprises in Britain. And you simply could not ask for better business neighbours – your postcode will be shared with the likes of Google Campus and Facebook UK as well as endless tech startups including Moo, Funding Circle and Decoded.

3. Be part of London – The Brand. London is a brand in itself. If you want your business to be part of this, a London postcode is obviously necessary. It’s not just about the aforementioned tech hub, London is a world renowned centre for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Continue reading →

4 reasons why home workers should use a virtual office

1 Reply

A Virtual Office can provide a number of benefits for the homeworker

Technology has changed the traditional way in which companies conduct their business. Virtual offices are becoming more and more popular, especially amongst home workers as companies shift from the conventional office settings. So how can a virtual office help you and your business function and blossom? Here are 4 reasons why you should use a virtual office:

Privacy of home address

You do not have to expose your private home address because a virtual office will provide you with a mailing address. Therefore you don’t have to display your home address on your website or business cards.

Professionalism

Having a business address allows you to conduct business in a professional manner and give a great impression. A recognisable address and phone number creates credibility.

Efficient business operation

A virtual office handles phone calls, business mail and parcels; essentials needed to run a successful business. This allows you to concentrate on the primary tasks for your business.

Cost effective

The cost of setting up an office can sink your business before it’s even had a chance to succeed. With a virtual office you do not have the burden of managing or renting a real office. It offers many of the benefits of having an office, without all the hassle.

For more information on what we can offer you, take a look at our virtual office packages.

What’s the mail handling charge?

Leave a reply

Our handling charges explained

The mail handling charge is a basic charge that we impose on any letters or parcels that we receive as part of your mail forwarding service.

It is separate from the postage charge (the cost of us forwarding the item onto you), however, like the postage charge, the handling charge is knocked off your postage deposit. Here are the possible handling charges:

• The handling charge for one regular letter (on all mail forwarding services apart from the Just Scan service) is 10p.

• The handling charge for one regular letter on the Just Scan service is 50p.

• The handling charge for one parcel (only relevant to the Mailbox Plus and Mailbox Pro services) is £2.50.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment and we’ll be in touch.
