A mobile office, or virtual office, allows a business person to conduct business from anywhere he or she needs to be – whether it be home, office, hotel room, car, or client’s location. Today’s ever-changing sophisticated technology makes mobile offices more and more attractive in various industries, and makes the need for leasing expensive physical office space less and less necessary for many businesses.


To make a mobile office functional it is necessary to have access to all, or most, of the amenities in a traditional office, including phone, voicemail, Internet, e-mail, portable computer and even sending faxes.


If your business lends itself to a mobile office, consider these advantages:


• Increased productivity


• Increased efficiency


• Lower costs


• Time saved in not commuting to an office


• Employees not tied to geography


And consider these disadvantages:


• Lack of face to face communication with coworkers


• Technical difficulties


• Less camaraderie among coworkers


• No place for client meetings, other than going to their place of business
