What is a Virtual Office and Is It Right For You? – Monday, June 9, 2025 – 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. EDT

Establishing a professional business presence or expanding your reach used to be expensive and time consuming. In the past, if you wanted an office in the Financial District in Manhattan or on Brickell Ave in Miami, you’d have to locate available office space, negotiate a lease costing thousands of dollars per year and then sign a multi-year agreement along with a personal guarantee, not to mention the time spent interviewing and hiring a receptionist, as well as the cost associated with that new hire. 

You may not be aware, but times have changed significantly, as you can now get a prestigious business address, along with live call answering and professional mail handling for as low as $99/month with access to conference rooms, as needed, for a reasonable hourly fee. 

In this webinar, seasoned entrepreneurs Yori Galel and Leonard Levine will educate you on ‘virtual offices’, including what they are, their benefits and drawbacks, how they differ from coworking spaces such as WeWork, who could benefit most from a virtual office and who are some of the leading providers besides Regus. Whether you are an entrepreneur just starting out who wants to maintain a professional presence, a plumber who can’t answer the phone when you’re under the sink, or a law firm that wishes to broaden their reach, this webinar is for you.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand what a virtual office is (and isn’t)
2. Learn the benefits and drawbacks of a virtual office
3. Understand the difference between a typical virtual office setup and WeWork
4. Identify which businesses are most suited to virtual offices and why
5. Compare and contrast some of the biggest virtual office providers
6. Identify additional upgraded services provided by virtual office providers
