Every non-profit organization needs to start somewhere. Social advocacy non-profit offices don’t need to be located anywhere in particular. However, location can help your business reach certain clients. Getting your own building for your non-profit business can be expensive. That money could be better spent on the people you have sought to help with your social advocacy-based non-profit business.

A non-profit business like yours needs a station to keep its affairs in order. The best way to do that is, of course, an office. This article points out that a non-profit is nothing without its donors. “Without the donors, there would be no impact, no people served, no mouths fed, no backs clothed.” What better way is there to impress your donors than with a beautiful, professional office? You don’t have to worry about getting your own building because social advocacy non-profit offices can be rented at Officense. For a low monthly price, you and your business get a dedicated office space, a mailbox, and access to our building’s facilities.

Officense has been in the business of providing services like these to companies since 2006. We service a large and diverse group of companies and non-profits. Whether it be providing social advocacy non-profit offices to those who need them or phone answering services, we just want to help your business thrive.

It’s hard enough to run a successful business. Sometimes, the high volume of clients interested in a successful business’s services can lead to a constantly ringing phone. All of that time spent scheduling consultations and taking down potential client phone numbers/emails, etc., takes precious minutes of your time. That time could be better spent on meeting the needs of current clients. If this sounds like your business then a personal injury lawyer answering service might be for you.

Officense provides personal injury lawyer answering service to many clients. The well-trained executive assistants are courteous to calling clientele and can schedule meetings in between a busy schedule. They even screen solicitors to keep the business’s phone lines open to clients. Not to mention, this is all for a fraction of the price of hiring a personal assistant.

This article about the “right way” to answer a law office phone says that being “friendly and upbeat while keeping [the caller] focused on their needs” is the correct way to answer a law office phone. Our receptionists follow the script you give us for our personal injury lawyer answering service because your instructions are valuable.

We also offer office space, conference room rentals, and address and web services. An office or address at our prestigious Inner Harbor location will help promote your business’s appearance to your clientele. Our web services include everything a personal injury lawyer might need to bolster their web presence.

FINDING YOUR IDEAL OFFICE SPACE

In the article Traditional Workspace or Virtual Office? Three Tips for Founders to Consider, they discuss the 6 fundamental needs people seek to meet through work. The needs we seek are the feeling of achievement, autonomy, belonging, sense of purpose, sense of security, and status. They believe that both traditional office space and virtual offices can fulfill these needs, and that it is about finding the right fit as a startup business founder. Of course, there are financial setbacks when finding startup office space. Most founders cannot afford to spend funds building their own office but want the appearance of a professional office. But renting commercial office space “can come with a hefty monthly price tag”. This is why I think that coworking spaces are ideal for new business owners.

The article also gives tips for founders to consider when starting their business. The first being to “obtain a work mailing address”. They suggest getting a P.O box, but to avoid having it sound like one. This allows you to look professional, even if you do not have a professional office space yet. The second and third tip are to use free virtual conferencing tools and to find conference room options with low rates. Utilizing free or inexpensive space is best when starting your business. But overall, as a new business owner, you should “create your own combination of traditional and non-traditional methods to achieve optimal space conditions”.

WHY COWORKING SPACES ARE HERE TO STAY

Another article, Why Coworking Spaces Are Here to Stay, explains that “young entrepreneurs are looking to coworking facilities to grab relatively inexpensive office space”. Because of today’s technology, “an office worker can be mobile and an on-the-go entrepreneur would simply be wasting money by paying for a full time office”. The use of non-traditional office space taps into some of the fundamental needs I mentioned. We want autonomy, the freedom to not work in one space for 8 hours a day. But as social beings, we still seek for a sense of belonging and interactions with colleagues. Coworking office space helps bring these two needs together. This is why “young entrepreneurs with new companies that require very little office area are starting out in coworking spaces to save money and meet others to collaborate with”.

No morning traffic. No rush out the door. At the office, it seems like everyone is focused on their computer, talking on the phone or online anyway. Working remotely is a growing trend in the business world. Is traditional office space really still necessary? Let’s talk about the pros and cons of working from home to see if it works for us.

WORKING REMOTELY

With new technology and ways to communicate virtually, there has been a rise in working remotely instead of in an office space. In America, there are more than 13 million people who spend at least part of their week working from home. Studies have been done on this new trend that share its many advantages. The article Four Ways to Make Working from Home Work for You discusses how “workers tend to be more productive, take less sick days, tend to feel less stressed, and work more hours than employees who are exclusively on-site”. Plus, there are the obvious advantages. Gain some flexibility with time in the morning, skipping commuter traffic, and the ability to run an errand or travel. Being able to customize your work day is appealing to everyone.

FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE

Why isn’t everyone working remotely? The article previously mentioned also discusses the drawbacks of lacking office space. Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo, explains “while there are obvious advantages to working early or being able to take [the] time to run a personal errand, it’s also easy for this to work against you. Colleagues may not know when they can reach you or may find you unpredictable”. Marissa has worked both from home and in a traditional office. She shares that when she worked from home she “made every effort to appear as if she has a ‘real office’ with a new phone line, business-sounding address, and corporate feel”. It is important to find the right balance for you and your business when deciding how to work.

HOW TO MAKE WORKING FROM HOME WORK FOR YOU

Together, you can find the perfect balance between working from home while having all the advantages of a traditional office. You can bridge the gap by getting a virtual office assistant, office space when you need it and a professional business address. You have the ability to grow your business from the comfort of your home. At Officense you will have a team of executive assistants, both in office and virtually, who tailor services to your needs.
