Seeking a Better Workspace - Flying Solo

View original article here

In 2008 an estimated 2.4 million Australians worked from home. With this growing number of traveling executives, small and micro businesses startups, the Australian workforce has a swelling tribe of workers looking for the support and networking of traditional workplaces.

According to Rowena Murray of Bureaux, “many dream of being their own boss, but the reality of working from the kitchen table in your pyjamas, with dirty coffee cups as colleagues is less inspiring.”

Offering the best of both worlds, Bureaux is a stimulating work environment for those wanting the freedom to be their own boss with access to the benefits of a professional office.

Currently in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Noosa, and intending national and global expansion, Bureaux offers top end business facilities with flexible memberships, according to the level of support required.

Bureaux provides a vital service to those in the startup stage of business. Murray says, “Presenting professionally is challenging for small business. You reach a stage where meeting clients in cafes no longer cuts it.”

As flexible financial commitments can make or break a fledgling business, Bureaux memberships range from those just wanting a CBD postal address and virtual receptionists fielding and diverting calls, through to the full scale facilities, support and IT infrastructure of a large organization.

At Bureaux you can establish an office with zero capital expenditure and zero time investment at ¼ the price of the competition.

Based on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Harvest Management CEO, Ingrid Maynard, uses Bureaux as ‘headquarters’ for client meetings and staff training, but cites the time and cost savings of using Bureaux interstate as invaluable.

“I’d waste hours on travel and a fortune on cabs and coffee, rushing to meetings, arriving flustered, feeling unprofessional. Now, it’s straight to Bureaux, shower and change if necessary, enjoy breakfast and lunch without leaving ‘the office’. Clients come to me. There’s no more stress, travel time or hefty cab fares and client conversions have soared as I can see more of them.”

Bureaux also provides remedy to the professional isolation that can be a soloist’s occupational hazard. Peer stimulation, exposure to professional development opportunities, networking and building contacts from a diverse range of industries are vital business functions that you simply cant recreate alone.
