<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nCompanies specializing in providing virtual office services said that in just six months since the beginning of the global economic crisis, the number of customers registering to use virtual office services has increased dramatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is an \u201cunimaginable\u201d number for virtual office services, which are still quite new in the Vietnamese market. The cause of this phenomenon can be summed up in one phrase: economic recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thriving in Recession<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The policy of cutting costs and narrowing operations to survive of many businesses when the economy falls into recession has brought opportunities for the virtual office business sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Huynh Quang Viet, Deputy General Director of Incomnet Company - service provider G-Office<\/a>, specializing in virtual office rental services, said the company was established more than two years ago. In the first two years of operation, the company only had 160 customers. But since the economic crisis, the number of customers has increased by more than 100% up to the present time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A customer using the \u201cvirtual office\u201d service, specializing in providing equipment for the textile industry, previously had an office in Dong Nai, said that in the current difficult situation, the company\u2019s customers are gradually decreasing, if they still have to maintain the operation of an office with a cost of hundreds of millions of VND\/month, it will be difficult to afford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, using a "virtual office" costs less than 20% above and still provides all the amenities of a real office, so his company has switched to using virtual office services for nearly four months now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Director of Royal Accounting Consulting Company (RCA), Mr. Pham Quang Hung, said that his company has two offices, one in Go Vap district and one in Vung Tau city. Due to the need to expand business, RCA intends to open more offices in some central districts of the city but is confused because of the high cost. Several tens of millions of VND\/month for rent, security, reception, electricity, water... but only receive a few partners a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to mention the additional initial fixed investments such as: rental deposit, office redesign, equipment purchase... but for some reason having to move or the landlord taking back the premises, the above fixed investments are almost lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through some media and self-study, Mr. Hung decided to choose to use the virtual office service of the service. G-Office<\/a>, because it meets the requirements of a real office but at a quarter of the cost and the business efficiency is no different from a real office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Dinh Minh Chinh, Director of Search World Company Limited, specializing in website design and providing industrial machinery, has rented a virtual office inG-Office<\/a>, recounted that two years ago he opened a company at his home on D1 Street, Binh Thanh District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because the company office is located in a deep alley, it is very difficult to find, while his customers are many and most of them are foreign partners. Every time a customer comes to contact him for a transaction, he has to call and he has to run to the entrance of Van Thanh market to pick them up, which is very inconvenient. However, since switching to virtual office services from mid-2006 until now, his business has been better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt first, many customers were hesitant when they saw me using a virtual office, but after a while, they understood better and some customers also asked for instructions to register to use this service,\u201d said Mr. Chinh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is still much potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/vanphongao.vn\/images\/stories\/camnang\/phonghop.jpg\")
