To stay in compliance with the standards of the local and federal governments, there are specific rules and regulations that home healthcare companies need to operate. Here is a link to the North Carolina NC DHHS agency for licensure requirements. There are office requirements to get an Acute and Homecare Licensure and Certification license. Each home healthcare business requires a professional physical office space to conduct business according to 10A NCAC 13J .0903 A. In addition, a sign is needed on the exterior of the building, along with a sign on their office door (10A NCAC 13J .0903 A (c)). We offer some helpful features at Office Ours that would give a company the upper hand in the home healthcare industry.

All Office Ours locations have an exterior building sign near or on the building, where businesses can list their names. There is also an interior sign next to each office door with the business name.

Our phone systems are a professional solution to field incoming calls, communicate with your team, and work with clients. Each office suite includes the first Small Business Service phone line with a phone number. For home healthcare companies expanding or moving, we provide the option to take the phone number with you and continue to use our phone service wherever you end up.

To accommodate HIPAA laws, we have taken the initiative to provide extra security for home healthcare companies by giving them secure access to our copy center and shredders. Our printers and copy centers require member badges to release a printing job, making your client’s information safer and more secure. Our shredders are also HIPAA-friendly for client privacy.

Conference rooms are available at all Office Ours locations and are a favorite feature of our members, especially our home healthcare members. Every location we service includes small to medium-sized conference rooms for staff meetings, which can be easily booked through our member portal. We also have a large conference room with furniture that moves to meet the needs of your event. This large space at our Midtown location is excellent for trainings and staff meetings. The two whiteboards and large-screen TV make it an effective tool for teaching classes.

Since Office Ours was founded, we’ve been listening to the feedback from our customers on which amenities and services they need to be more successful. This feedback has helped us tailor our business products to meet the needs of home healthcare businesses and many other industries. With private offices, conference rooms, and printing services at your fingertips, Office Ours is the perfect place for home healthcare professionals to call home.

Bleu Heavenly Touch Massage was started during a time when many businesses were still shut down. She was nervous about how Covid would affect her plans but moved forward into her own office suite at Office Ours in May 2021. She knew she was taking a risk but luckily, through word of mouth, her business grew. She credits her business’ success to specializing in a specific type of massage therapy that isn’t very common in the Triangle area which is providing relief to patients post-surgery. Post-operative massage helps with lymphatic drainage and swelling that is common after surgery for people who have had cancer, injuries, lymphodema, tummy tucks, and liposuction, to name a few. Bianca enjoys helping men and women who feel beautiful from the inside out while also helping them find relief after invasive surgeries.

After working out of her home and doing mobile massage therapy, Bleu Heavenly Touch Massage opened in 2021 with one office suite at an Office Ours location in North Raleigh. In 2022, Bianca expanded again into a second office after experiencing an increase in clients needing her services. She loves the professional setting and location central to many of her patients who come from as far as two hours away to seek her treatments. She also likes how safe the location is with security cameras and how there are other like-minded business owners at this location who also call Office Ours home. With wheelchair access to the building and a lobby, her clients are able to comfortably wait for their services. 

Bianca is excited to continue to grow her business by adding new employees and possibly expanding to other locations. She hopes to open satellite offices one day as well. She also wants to teach others to do this type of post-operative massage that is uncommon but needed in this area. She hopes that by training others, specifically women, to do what she does, she will inspire them to start their massage therapy businesses.

After working ten years in staffing and management, Brittany decided to work for herself and build her own human resources business. Building Stronger Teams was born in April 2021 with a desire to make a more significant impact and help small businesses create the best teams possible. Brittany provides recruitment services and best practices and procedures to help business owners maintain and nurture their employees. As Brittany said, “You can’t have a successful business without happy employees.” To provide this service to businesses, Brittany works with companies to support and train their employees, so everyone is operating as best as possible. Brittany finds that when businesses have clear procedures in place accompanied by a supportive leadership team, their employees are often more effective and fulfilled in their roles, as she stated, “When you take care of your employees, they will take care of your business.”

When it came time to find a virtual office for her business, Brittany chose Office Ours for multiple reasons including good customer service and knowing she had the ability to scale up to a private office when she was ready. Brittany started with a virtual office for her life coach business at our Professional Court location in February 2020. From the beginning, she knew she would want to upgrade to a private office and was happy to see that Office Ours made this transition an easy process. Almost one year after getting a virtual office, Brittany transitioned to a private office space at our Midtown location where she currently works and now operates Building Stronger Teams. Having printing services on-site and access to conference rooms for her future workshops and trainings gives Brittany peace of mind when it comes to her business. Just like Building Stronger Teams, Office Ours has been committed from the beginning to helping small businesses thrive by giving them the ability to get professional office space. In the past, only large businesses had the ability to acquire office space or an HR department. Building Stronger Teams and Office Ours are enabling small businesses to have quality office space and HR departments now too!

Brittany is excited for the future of Building Stronger Teams and looks forward to adding more employees to her company soon. In the meantime, she will continue to support her clients and help their employees be more successful and happy in their workplace. As her company grows, she hopes to be considered a preferred human resource partner in the Triangle and help employers build strong teams.

Growing up in Poland, Marzena saw firsthand what it takes to be a good business owner and entrepreneur. She grew up working for her parent’s businesses and knew she wanted to have her own business someday. After moving to New York City, she got her first job working for a cleaning service company. Marzena says she knew right away that she wanted to work for herself. Not long after, she started her own cleaning business in the city. Wanting to expand to a new area, they moved to the Raleigh area and opened Ever Clean House in September 2020. 

Marzena is proud of the work they do and loves that their company is family-oriented. Ever Clean House focuses on not only giving families time back but giving back to the community. Through the program, Cleaning for a Reason, Ever Clean House gives patients battling cancer free house cleanings. They have been involved with Cleaning for a Reason for over a year in the Triangle and even longer with their company in New York City.

They recently celebrated their first anniversary with Office Ours at our Executive Circle location in Cary. Marzena says one of the top reasons they got an office suite was to have a home base for employees to come to for meetings or pick up supplies. They regularly use the conference room to hold their monthly meetings and love having access to secure printing and a kitchen at Office Ours.

Where do they see themselves in five years? Marzena says they would like to continue to grow their business in the Triangle. They are excited to see what is next and look forward to building a community in their new city.

9. Foundational Business Systems

A virtual office is not just a mailbox. Many services that are foundational to any business are typically included with a virtual office to save you time and effort:

• Phone Systems – Many virtual offices come with phone services that will allow your clients and vendors to call a business number, not your personal number. This provides room for growth when you finally decide to hire a second employee, salesperson, or operations manager.
• Copy Center– Having your own printer may have its benefits for small printing jobs, but having access to a professional copy center will win in the long run. No need to worry about buying ink or trying to solve printer drive issues all by yourself. Some virtual office offerings might even give you free printing.
• Conference Rooms-Access to conference rooms is essential if you have a business that holds weekly or monthly meetings. Conference room access also opens up the ability to do sales meetings, trainings, interviews, and classes, all while you still run your business out of your home. Instead of meeting at a coffee shop or rushing to find a space to hold your last-minute meeting, conference room access with a virtual office will bring peace of mind. 

8. Flexible Working-At Home or the Office

One of the many perks of owning a business is a flexible schedule. Recent trends in coworking and virtual offices have made it more and more efficient to work where you want when you want. Using a virtual office will give you access to office facilities where you can go and get away from barking dogs for a while and focus on your work. Many facilities will have access to the coworking or cubicle areas.

7. Privacy

Many businesses make a significant mistake when choosing a business address, such as using their home address, a P.O. box, or a retail storefront mailbox. Those options lack the professionalism and credibility of the business address provided by a virtual office in case your clients or vendors decide to look you up. When someone Googles your business address, you want them to see a commercial office building, not your personal residence. Business cards, your website, and business directories will all display your business address, so you want to make it a professional business address. 

6. Compliance 

When you choose to use your home address for your business, you may run into legal and contractual restrictions. 

• Does your city’s code prohibit or restrict you from running a business from your home?
• Does your HOA have a restriction preventing you from doing business out of your home?
• Would it be a material breach of your lease if you use your residence to conduct commercial operations?

Using a virtual office address will reassure you that you are complying with all of the legal and regulatory requirements that go into owning a business.

5. Professionalism

An excellent first impression with a client is essential. The main thing that makes your business appear to outsiders as being real is separating the business from your personal life. This is extremely hard for solopreneurs or companies just starting out. If your business address is separate from your personal address, it signifies your business is professional. If your meetings are in a different location than your local coffee shop, where everybody knows your name because it is a mile from your house, that is professional. If your business’s phone number is separate from your mobile number, it signifies your business’s professionalism. It is essential that the business appears to be more than just the owner that is starting it. The company is its own entity with its own resources and a separate identity.

4. Credibility

Credibility is your client’s, partner’s, and vendor’s perception of you. Does having no address on your business card communicate to a potential partner a lack of commitment to the business? Does a P.O. Box or a retail mailbox communicate to a potential customer you are not a fly by night operation? Does asking a potential employee to do the interview at the coffee shop signal your business is fully funded and can afford payroll?  If your operation is run professionally, then it will be more likely to be perceived as credible. 

3. Savings

What if your business isn’t ready for the expenses and overhead of a private office? What if your business plan is designed in such a way it might never need a private office? A virtual office gives you most of the benefits of a private office without the expense. Undoubtedly, businesses need to be as profitable as possible to grow effectively and intelligently. This means that budgeting, accounting, and profitability are among the most important factors to consider when operating a business. Many virtual office providers will be a one-stop-shop for business services, which can save you a big chunk of change in the long run.

2. Rightsize your Business

Your business is thriving, revenue is growing, you are hiring more employees, and it is time for a new office suite. Most business centers will have resources available when you decide to grow into an office suite, and many centers have multiple locations from which to choose. You can start with a virtual office, but then you can then conveniently move into an office. The flexibility and futureproofing of your business address are crucial to seamlessly expand or contract to your business needs while keeping costs in mind.

1. Confidence 

Your business is powerful no matter where you work, where you meet, and what business address you use. However, business owners often need all the help they can get. Increased privacy, savings, credibility, and professionalism will only boost your confidence, which will help your business thrive. The belief that your business has its business infrastructure needs covered will free up your mind to focus on growing your business. In conclusion, virtual offices provide your business with a competitive advantage. Imagine you are at a business networking event, and a potential customer is roaming the crowd. Your competitor hands that potential customer a business card with no business address and asks for a meeting with that customer next week at the nearest coffee shop. Then you hand the customer your business card with a professional business address and ask for a meeting next week at “your office.” Who is most likely to win that business?
