Home-based Franchises without Virtual Offices aren’t Complete, says Opus VO CEO

<p><location value="LU/us.fl.bocton" idsrc="xmltag.org">Boca Raton, FL</location> (PRWEB) <chron>September 27, 2011</chron></p><p>Opening a <a href="http://www.opusvirtualoffices.com">home-based franchise</a> of an established business may seem safer than starting a business cold. But after spending a lot of money for a big name and established system, franchisees may find they're still using their residential address and home phone. This should be unacceptable, points out Opus VO's CEO, <person>Yori Galel</person>, and he illustrates the important benefits complementary <a href="http://www.opusvirtualoffices.com">virtual offices</a> confer.</p><p>Home-based franchises are popular and include services such as commercial cleaning, pest control, pet sitting, pool cleaning, consulting services and many more.     . <br /> For a hefty fee, franchisors provide a proven name, materials, and some expertise. What they don't provide, however, can leave franchisees looking a lot less professional than anticipated. <br /> After paying out that money, too often franchisees are stuck using their home address and phone. Galel recommends an elegant solution; low cost virtual offices, providing the professional image to complete a successful franchise experience.</p><p>"It's fine buying a well-known franchise instead of starting a business from scratch," says Galel, who has over fifteen years of experience providing premier virtual office programs to small and mid-sized businesses. "But when it comes to franchisees operating from home, the ball can be really dropped. Big fees are paid for a <a href="http://www.opusvirtualoffices.com">turnkey business</a>, yet the franchisee's address and home phone are exposed. For only <money>$99</money> a month, a virtual office offers a solution respecting professionalism and privacy."</p><p>Galel defines a virtual office as a complete business system utilizing advanced technology to create a flexible online workplace enhancing a business's professional image and capabilities.</p><p>A virtual office program from Opus includes an impressive <a href="http://www.opusvirtualoffices.com">corporate mailing address</a> with corresponding business phone and fax numbers to keep that residential address and phone private, Galel continues. It includes state-of-the-art technology converting voicemail and faxes to email to be addressed when convenient.</p><p>Give a franchisee's customers the opportunity to speak to a real person or leave a message, and the choice is clear. Galel notes that Opus Virtual Offices' courteous, trained receptionists answer calls during a full range of business hours. <br /> And prompt communications with a live person can insure a sale is made.</p><p>A virtual office system complements the strengths and weaknesses of home-based franchises perfectly. And much more than pays for itself in increased revenue. <br /> For more information, contact <a href="http://www.opusvirtualoffices.com">http://www.opusvirtualoffices.com</a></p><p># # #</p><p>Read the full story at <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/9/prweb8827442.htm">http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/9/prweb8827442.htm</a></p>
