Virtual offices are a pretty cost effective way to do this and the more prestigious address can be used on business cards/docs etc. Like you said, I think the issue of being a large business is second to appearing professional.Joanhttp://www.alldaypa.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517245426025349354.post-46946322194899262852012-04-29T21:18:36.041-04:002012-04-29T21:18:36.041-04:00Hi Amy, That's a great idea about having a des...Hi Amy, That's a great idea about having a designated office. I agree that it helps to have a place dedicated to working. Especially if you work at home, it is much too easy to be distracted.

I set up voice mail to avoid interruptions and realized it did make my business look bigger.

Perhaps when the time comes that a formal meeting would be required, those pajamas would have to be put aside first.

Often small business owners think they have to appear to have larger businesses so that they can be taken seriously. But perhaps we're getting to a point where that won't be necessary.

We came up with pros and cons for both approaches.<br /><br />Ultimately, it came down to the same kind of conclusion you made - how personal do you want to approach your users?
