In this piece, we focus on the real benefits that a professional, physical business address can have on your business.

Making a Good First Impression

When it comes to making a good first impression, most people think about the way they look and present themselves to others. Although this is crucial, first impressions go back a lot further than that, and a lot deeper. Let’s say you have an attractive and informative website and that a potential client is impressed with what they see, so they decide to contact you. Once they get to your contact details there are a couple of things that immediately put them off. They see a free non-business email address and a home address or PO Box number.

Even if you’re business operations are 100% legit and professional, your free email and missing business address look amateurish and dodgy. After all, scammers often hide behind free emails and PO Box numbers, so you can’t blame people for being weary. If there’s no photo of you on your ‘About Us’ page, that further reinforces doubt. These are all small things that can have a huge impact on your business image and reputation.

Solutions to the Business Address Problem

If you operate from home, that doesn’t mean you have to use the home address for your business. It looks cheap and amateurish, but that’s not all. There are also security and privacy issues too. And the PO Box looks untrustworthy to many. But aside from that, some delivery services will not deliver to PO boxes. Plus neither a PO box nor home address can be used for many online marketing activities, like a Google My Business page or AdWords online ads. One solution to this problem is to use a professional, physical business address at Office Evolution Hackensack, in the heart of Bergen County, New Jersey.

Here’s a rundown of the key benefits of a virtual office commercial address:

• It’s a simple and affordable way to put your business firmly on the virtual map
• Renting a professional mailing address gives your business a professional image
• Your business address shows up on online searches like Google Maps
• A photo of our impressive building will also show up next to your physical business address
• All your confidential business-related mail is safely locked behind a steel mailbox
• All business correspondence is kept separate from personal mail
• A professional address enhances marketing material like business cards, fliers, and ads, etc.
• A professional address in a prime central location also enhances your credibility
• It boosts your ‘digital footprint’ with Google My Business, Yelp, and others

None of these things are going to work with a residential address or a PO Box. In fact, at the time of writing, Google Business Services don’t accept PO Box numbers. How could they, there’s nothing to show up in terms of a business premises. Here’s what Google has to say about it:

“Use a precise, accurate address to describe your business location. PO Boxes or mailboxes located at remote locations are not acceptable.”

With a professional business address at Office Evolution in Bergen County, NJ, your address shows as the suite number—not a box number—so it looks totally professional. It’s a physical address in a good location, in an impressive building. Even if you move home, you address stays the same, which is one less hassle to worry about.

More than Just a Business Address

If all you want is a professional business address, that’s fine, but it’s not all there is. You have full access to the actual building too. If you want a shared desk with high-speed internet and complimentary beverages, we’ve got you covered. If you want a more personal office space, you’ve got that too. There’s even meeting rooms and conference rooms to rent from as short as 15 minutes to weeks. In other words, your business address is more than just an address with a mailbox. It’s also a fully-functional shared office coworking center with an impressive array of services to boot. So apart from the impressive address and mailbox service, you also have professional office space that you can rent to meet with your clients. The great thing about this business model is that you only pay for what you need when you want it.

Impress Your Clients and Prospects

Perhaps your line of business means you meet people online more so than in the bricks and mortar world. As useful as this is, there’s nothing quite as productive as face-to-face meetings, shaking hands, and forming meaningful relationships in the real world. Now you can impress clients and prospects by inviting them to your new, impressive business location, in a meeting space that fits the purpose.

Already you have ticked a lot of boxes with your professional address, its central location with easy parking, and the impressive building. That’s a great way to make that all-important first impression. Remember, aside from shared office spaces, you also have access to private offices, conference rooms, and staffed reception. All these things and more reinforce your credibility and professional image in your field of business.

The Legal Angle

Companies in the US (such LLCs, S Corps, and C Corps) have a physical business address. This address goes onto the public records, so that’s another reason why the home address is not a good idea in most cases. The Office Evolution address and mailing service is the perfect solution for all your business needs. Working with virtual office solutions is the smart way of doing business today. It’s certainly cheaper, more flexible, and more scalable than the traditional route of committing to a long term office lease.
