- Why more professionals and businesses are choosing Servcorp Virtual Offices
What Is a Virtual Office?
A virtual office isn’t imaginary, it’s supported by real office space with fully equipped facilities.
It’s called “virtual” because users don’t work there every day. Instead, this solution enables them to work remotely, whether from home or elsewhere, while still benefiting from a professional business address, call handling, and access to meeting facilities as needed.
Usually, virtual office packages include:
- A premium business address in a corporate building, usable as your company's address
- A local phone number answered by a professional receptionist
- Front desk services, mail and package management
- Access to book meeting or conference rooms and coworking desk spaces
- On-demand administrative and IT support
In short, a virtual office provides the essential functions and professional image of an office, without the long-term costs of leasing physical space.

The value of a virtual office lies in flexibility with professionalism. It’s ideal for:

How to Choose the Right Virtual Office Provider?
When comparing service providers, pay attention to:
1. Location: Choose an address in a central business district or Grade A building to enhance your company’s credibility and client trust.
2. Range of Services: Look beyond the address, make sure the provider offers on-site telephone answering services, secretarial support, mail forwarding services, IT services, and access to meeting rooms.
3. Transparent Pricing: Check the full cost breakdown upfront. Understand whether there are deposits, mail forwarding fees, or meeting room charges, and ensure there are no hidden costs.
4. Compliance: Confirm that the address is legally valid and compliant to avoid complications in the future.
5. Reputation: Research client reviews, review the clarity of contracts, and, if possible, visit the site in person before making a decision.
A quick visit and discussion with the provider often reveals more than brochures alone.
