Hurricane Sandy and Office Update #1

Photo: noaa.gov

Hurricane Sandy and a hybrid superstorm is scheduled for the storm center to make landfall just south of New York City.

In preparation, several essential services will begin shutting down on Sunday, October 28, including:

• NYC MTA Subways
• MTA Bus Service
• Commuter railroad service (LIRR)
• Ferry Service
• NJ Transit
• PATH Service
• Amtrak Monday Service in Northeast

Currently, there is no estimated time for service restoration. It is believed that mass transit will remain suspended until 12 hours after the end of the storm, which is likely to be Wednesday.

Due to the lack of transportation, and for the safety of employees, our building will not be providing efficiency services and anticipates shutting down elevator service.

Our administrative offices will be closed. We request that you email us  -customerservice@myNYCoffice.com-  if you require any assistance.

Please keep in mind that the City has warned all residents and businesses that power outages – for an extended length of time – may be possible.

We will make every effort to ensure services do not get disrupted during these unique circumstances – and if they do, make every effort to have services return to normal in an as humanly realistic time frame as possible.

Kind regards,
The Team at VH Int’l Business Solutions

New York City Virtual Offices are Perfect for Businesses Both Big and Small

In recent years more and more companies have been looking at ways to scale back their budget, yet still somehow maintain a presence that reeks of success and prestige. And then there are those small businesses that are operated out of the home, but are on the brink of expansion that might require meetings to be held somewhere other than a restaurant or their own dining room. Now imagine that both of those enterprises were located in New York, and how a Manhattan address would add a level of respectability to their business. The problem is that an office space in Manhattan is out of reach of a business trying to downsize, or the small up and comer who’s looking to expand; or is it?

While a full-blown office space in Manhattan would be financially impossible for most, a virtual office can be had for as little as a dollar or less per day. If you are somewhat confused by the last statement, then let me take a moment to explain; virtual offices are real, physical locations that have an actual Manhattan address, but which can be rented on a monthly basis and used whenever you need to pick up mail, or have a place to conduct business meetings.

A virtual office space is perfect for businesses both big and small. Many large companies are paying for massive spaces, the majority of which they don’t use enough to make it financially viable. On the flip side is the small business that would like to have a bigger space, but can’t afford to make the move up just quite yet. Both of those types of businesses can greatly benefit from a virtual office, and it’s perhaps why it’s an option that is quickly becoming very popular in the business world.

It’s not just space that you get when you rent a virtual office though, and you’ll find that the small monthly amount that you pay will in fact stretch very far. You will also get a dedicated office staff that will forward all your mail to you, and that also includes a receptionist who will answer call, which can also be forwarded to any number that you choose. The receptionist will also be there to greet clients whenever you do actually need to use the space for a meeting with clients. The virtual office address and phone number will also match the area where it is located, and is not a P.O Box or fake number like many less prestigious virtual office companies may offer.

There are many companies that are caught in a bind one way or another, and whether they are looking to save some money, or take the first big step on the expansion ladder, then a virtual office space is an option that can definitely help them both succeed in their goals.
