Virtual Office Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual office?
A virtual office for Acorn Business Solutions is a cost effective alternative to renting your own physical office space. All the benefits of your own office without the day to day running costs.
- Use your virtual office to receive mail.
- Book physical office space as and when needed
- Book meeting rooms as and when needed
Who uses the virtual office service?
The virtual office service from Acorn Business Solutions are used by businesses of all sizes from one man companies running from home, to larger organisations who employ exclusively remote workers.
What's the difference between a virtual office & Po Box?
A PO Box is a basic mailing service provided by Royal Mail. You’re given a locked box at a Post Office location where your letters are delivered. It’s useful for privacy, but it has several limitations — you can’t receive parcels from most couriers, you don’t get a real street address, and you usually need to collect your mail in person.
A Virtual Office, on the other hand, provides you with a real, professional business address that can receive letters, parcels and courier deliveries from all providers. It looks more credible to customers and suppliers, and is suitable for use as your trading address. Virtual offices also offer flexible handling options such as mail forwarding, scanning, storing items for collection, and optional extras like meeting rooms or co-working space.
In short:
-
PO Box = basic mail collection, limited couriers, not a real street address.
-
Virtual Office = full service, real business address with courier acceptance, flexible mail handling and added business facilities.
This makes a virtual office the more professional, versatile, and cost-effective option for most businesses.
