Virtual Office: Safety during a new wave of COVID-19

Virtual office

Since the start of COVID-19, many businesses have been struggling to take off or even properly startup. Now yet again, a new wave of COVID-19 begins to arise, and many may seem hesitant to invest in a new starting a new company.

According to the PR Thai Government, the following measures should be taken when considering COVID-19 safety health guidelines:

  1. Maintain proper hygiene and frequent washing your hands if you are exposed to potential risks.
  2. Avoid going to crowded public settings, if not necessary.
  3. Avoid joining or hosting group activities.
  4. Always wear a mask when in public.
  5. Get tested if you may have been exposed to a potential threat.

Thus this raises the question of: How could a potential business opportunity be seized, while still being precautious of the current COVID-19 safety health guidelines? 

The answer is quite simple: Virtual Office!

Nowadays starting one’s own company has never been quite so simple, and not to mention easy on your wallet. Traditionally one might think of having to open a storefront or rent out an office space to even be able to register and start one’s business, this may seem redundant to some today.

An article, on Entrepreneur, by Gene Marks, elaborates how much running a business has changed in the past two decades for him. Gene mentions that as a result of becoming “virtual”, this has helped him “keep his overhead low”.

“Twenty years ago we had an office with computers on desks and a phone system. Today we don’t. We closed that down years ago and everyone works from their homes. […] My people are Skyping, chatting and using online collaboration tools to share files and data, track projects and invoices, submit expenses and just to get work done.”

In conclusion, much has changed in the past decades for work professionals and entrepreneurs worldwide. It has never been easier to start a company with Virtual Office. Moreover, there would be no need for a physical workplace nor would you have to make a substantial investment to start your company. Many of these changes prove to be advantageous, specifically with the current outbreak of COVID-19, in reducing the spread of the virus.
