I was looking online this morning and I found a statistics website that lists out the average cost of office spaces in California and Oregon. On average, businesses are paying anywhere between $1.57 – $2.09 per sq. foot, per month, so a business operates in a 1,900 sq. foot office (like my own) you would be paying on average anywhere from $2,983 – $3,971 per month on office rent, and that is for a relatively small office. Wow! That is a lot of money to spend each month, not to mention the utility bill, insurance costs, and other operational costs that come with running an office.
One alternative to running a physical office, is to open up a Virtual Office, an online service that gives businesses an “office” with all of the necessary equipment and services when they need it without the hassles of actually running an office full time. With a virtual office, you can work from home or on the road, and then use the office space for client or business meetings.
