Frequently Asked Questions

Businesses large and small, local and international, start-up and well-established all use OBC’s. The flexibility, services, and overall value offered by OBC’s make them a sensible office solution for a variety of users. Start-ups, attorneys, consultants, financial advisors, sales representatives, and regional or satellite offices all find office business centers to be a cost-effective option for obtaining the professional services and image they need without the high costs that usually come with them.

Companies whose office space needs to change frequently due to seasonal sales, a rapidly changing marketplace, or rapid expansion find office business centers offer the flexibility and short-term solutions to accommodate their needs. Large companies use office business centers for satellite offices or when they need quick space as they enter a new market.

Finally, home-based businesses and mobile executives use the virtual office features of office business centers to secure a mailing address, phone answering, and an as-needed workspace and meeting place.

Taking advantage of fully furnished and equipped executive suite space can provide huge financial and time savings. An “instant office” eliminates most of the start-up costs associated with traditional office space.  Upfront costs like remodeling, furniture and equipment can all be avoided.  Monthly costs are greatly reduced through the shared services and spaces included with the monthly fee. These shared items also have tremendous time savings because you do not have to spend your time managing and maintaining them.
