The business world has changed significantly over the years and there is really no standard for how to do business in Indonesia. However, one challenge remains true: owning or renting and maintaining a physical office are one of the costliest expenses new business has to deal with. The obvious expense is, of course, the monthly rent, but the overhead in running an office far exceeds the rental expense. Since renting or owning an office space is not always financially or logistically viable for new business owners, a virtual office thus plays a huge part for businesses, especially modern ones, in Indonesia these days.

Not to mention that this trend is growing tremendously by the minute. For all the costs you can save through a virtual office, you will also enjoy some other benefits, including not having to wake up early to arrive in the office on time and having additional resources, be it for capital or time resources, that will help you focus more on your core business activities.

Now you are thinking that a virtual office may sound like the right option for your business. But, before making a decision to invest in a virtual office, you need to consider some important factors.

This article elaborates the key factors in choosing a virtual office in Indonesia.

Virtual Office in Indonesia: Key Factors for Consideration

It is All About Location

One of the most critical factors of choosing the right virtual office is its address and location. One thing to keep in mind is that you should not assume that no visitors will come to your office because most of your business activities are remote.

What does matter is when your clients want to meet you in person for important meetings or if you want to pick up mail and documents. A great virtual office also provides spaces for you to have meetings or conferences. Thus, you will want your virtual office with a prime business address that is strategically located and can be reached easily.

Technology and Amenities

An excellent virtual office needs to come with technological advantages in order to keep up with today’s digital world. These include high-speed Internet, printing, scanning, and faxing services for complex paperwork, calls and emails handling, receptionist, and other virtual assistant services.

By purchasing Cekindo’s virtual office, you will be able to gain access to virtual office resources and a professional support team ready to cater for your business needs.

Costs and Charges

One thing you should always keep in mind is to be careful about hidden costs and charges. You must really look into the published rate of a lot of virtual offices on the market nowadays.

Many may seem cheaper at first glance but sometimes you would be misled and end up paying more eventually. For example, some virtual offices out there charge their clients with meeting room rates that are based on hourly rate (they do not tell you about this). Or, a fax charge based on the pages you have faxed.

If you have no idea of these fee structures in the first place, you will need to pay a total sum that is larger than usual. Remember that it is safe to always ask for in details first.

Flexibility

Last but not least, you will need flexibility that suits your business needs. Do you need a virtual office with 24/7 access? Or an 8-hour access will do just fine for you? Will you be able to choose certain services over others based on your business requirements?

The flexibility of a virtual office is pivotal if you are looking to run your business in a more productive and cost-effective way. A rigid term offered by a virtual office provider might not help your business for the longer term.
