Virtual offices are an increasingly acceptable and even normal method of doing business, according to one industry expert.
Ian Fraser, marketing manager at the Institute of Risk Management, said the growing reputation of virtual offices is in part due to the burgeoning use of mobile technology and email, which enable people to work from any location.
In addition, virtual offices "can limit the impact of a disaster as locations can be spread out", he said.
Choregus recently cited statistics which show 40 per cent of virtual office customers come from the banking and finance sectors.
Business services and consultancy firms are the next biggest users of virtual offices, with figures of 16 and 14 per cent respectively.
The office industry website also recently pointed out the potential benefits of virtual office assistants, which can be purchased as an extra along with a virtual office package.
It suggested they can assist with dealing with high volumes of mail or offer flexible help in other areas as required, without requiring any additional office space.
Executive Offices Group is a provider of virtual office space as well as serviced offices and executive suites.
