Commercial leasing rent in San Francisco is astoundingly high. Although you would have an amazing opportunity to partner with all kinds of fresh new business people, you may not be ready yet to cough up the cash necessary for a flourishing branch in the city.

If you want to maintain a professional presence in San Francisco, but don’t feel like investing in a committed lease at this time is in your best interest, there are options available to you. Consider renting a virtual office in San Francisco before investing in a physical property first.

At this point in time, if you only assist a few clients a month, you may view leasing an office as a poor investment at this time, but you don’t want to let go of the potential opportunities to expand your business in San Francisco.
There are so many things you can do with a virtual office in San Francisco that takes place of hiring an expensive staff.

With a virtual office, you have access to a prestigious business address, telephone and mail handling services. Some plans even allow you a certain amount of office hours a month when you take business trips that offer included wifi and long distance phone calls.

Special meeting rooms are available for anywhere from one-on-one private tables to large conference rooms supporting over ten people. Renting this office space by the hour or day can be a better decision for you at this time rather than taking the risk of signing a binding lease.

Now, the virtual office won’t last you forever. Obviously, once your client base and business connections become more securely developed, hiring a full branch staff and exclusive office for your business is a better option.

But everyone should take advantage of shared, temporary office space while they explore the development of a new branch. It gives you presence and a sense of privacy that can’t be matched by meeting in a public coffee shop.
