Why You Should Utilise Virtual Offices in the Philippines

Image: http://businessway-int.com/img/f3.jpg

 

The Philippines business landscape is comprised of highly-skilled workers but is also one that focuses on building positive business relationships for the purpose of future ventures. The almost 7,000 islands that make up this beautiful Asian Pacific archipelago can be an entrepreneur’s business utopia, as this consumer-driven economy offers up a variety of business opportunities for any business owner. While Manila is the country’s central metropolis, many other cities offer ample business opportunities.

One great benefit of today’s business environment is that office space is no longer a major problem, much less a hassle. Current trends in office solutions have caught up with today’s technologically-driven, fast-paced economy to the point that businesses can operate solely in the virtual realm. Virtual offices allow business owners to lease facilities that come with standard office amenities without the excessive overheads of more traditional office spaces.

Continue reading to learn more about why virtual offices can better serve your business needs while in the Philippines and help you succeed in this exciting marketplace.

Virtual Vs Brick and Mortar

A great benefit to a virtual office is that, because most leasing plans allow business owners use of conference and meeting rooms, private offices, staffing, and internet technology, the contract focuses more on the use of technology as opposed to space. You can meet in a physical space while leasing a virtual office. However, these contracts also tend to offer more when it comes to the amenities that you would need while working remotely when compared to a traditional office lease.

Ideally, a virtual setup works well if you are self-employed or a small business looking to expand. Premium providers in the country offer virtual offices in the Philippines. Servcorp, a more popular office solutions provider, specialises in virtual offices with flexible monthly rates and no long-term leases to sign.

Global Office Space

Because of flexible leasing terms, a virtual office allows businesses to operate anywhere in the world. Most leasing plans will allow business owners to use facilities worldwide making it possible to reserve a meeting or conference room in another country, if necessary, without the trouble of having to make these arrangements independently. For example, let’s say you are working in an office in Manila, but you have to meet with clients in Hong Kong, the right office provider can arrange the entire meeting in a virtual realm. Essentially, virtual offices have transformed the traditional office into one that has no borders.

Professional Look on a Budget

One major cost benefit to utilising the virtual office is that you get a professional business address and phone number from which to operate without the expense. While office rents in the Philippines on average are reasonable, the cost of operating your business from a virtual office is much cheaper and businesses can save a lot of money over time. In business, first impressions do matter, and a business address that sits on a prestigious street in Manila or such as Ayala Avenue projects a polished, professional image to clients and business contacts.

Flexible Leasing Terms

Virtual office solutions offer some of the most flexible leasing terms available today. On top of being able to modify your lease depending on your business’s needs, business owners will find the length of these leases are more flexible. In a typical office lease, business owners will really benefit as they don’t have to be locked into a lease that can last for up to five years with no flexibility. Many virtual office leases, only ask for a month-to-month commitment and offer a flat rate including all amenities so there are no surprises at the end of the month.

The Way of The Future

The future is now and the virtual landscape is such that more companies are finding it more cost-effective to adopt a virtual model. For those wanting to do business in the Philippines, a virtual office is ideal if you’re expanding operations into Asia.

In an economic climate that encourages business relationships, the virtual office is one way to maximise and multitask, while staying within budget. The flexibility, potential for global reach and the opportunity to project a professional image, simply cannot be achieved with a more traditional office lease. With these advantages, you can take your business to new heights quicker than you ever thought possible.

Island Hopping in Caramoan Islands

Going to the beach is one of the popular activities during summer. But how does going to the beach and island hopping sound to you? There are many great destinations to consider if you have your summer vacation in the Philippines. However, island hopping in Caramoan islands is the newest and in thing for beach lovers and adventurous people.

“Survivor” Islands of Caramoan

If you are hiding or trying to escape the crowded population of the city you can mark Caramoan Islands as one of the great destinations with less population. The “Survivor” Islands of Caramoan gives you great chance to do island hopping. Describing this place as beautiful is an understatement which is why this place became a setting for many international reality shows.

“Matukad” Group of Islands

Though this is considered as one of the most affordable when it comes to island hopping in Caramoan, this is considered to be as one of the most popular because this is where the actual Survivor series was shot. You can book a tour for less than Php 2000 including a motorcycle round trip tour. One of the great things to do here while island hopping is climbing on the cliffs to take a closer look at the lagoon. Just don’t forget to add some safety measures because the cliffs are very steep. It’s best to have a second thought if you are not a good climber and then just satisfy yourself in taking pictures.

Sabitang Laya

To add another list of island you can hop at Caramoan, Sabitang Laya would be a great destination too. This is one of the most beautiful islands where you can swim among the marine life. The majestic rock formation will make you feel closer to nature, not to mention the mangroves and white sand beaches that are longer that you can imagine.

Manlawi Island

Are you thinking about where to spend your lunch in the middle of the great island destination? Manlawi Island will give you chance to dine at a beautiful cottage for only Php 200. Just don’t forget to allow at least an hour for your travel from the port going here so you will arrive on time for your lunch. There is also where you can find sea shells for sale in the middle of your island hopping for a very small amount of Php20.

Lahos Island

Here you can enjoy a walk at the very long white sandbar, this sandbar also connects to the majestic limestone which is famous here. If by any chance you experience heavy rain during your stay here in Lahos Island, you can take pride in experiencing the smooth white sheet of sand brought by the small waves during the rain.

It’s best that you do your island hopping here in Caramoan Islands while it’s still new and rates are not yet very high. Being one of the first hopper here gives you pride of the experience that others would still try in the near future.
