One of the biggest questions Sara gets is, “What is permanent makeup?” Permanent makeup is a semi-permanent or cosmetic tattoo. This type of tattoo can include eyebrows, eyeliner, lips, or blush. Pretty much any makeup you put on your face could also be tattooed. Microblading, or semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos, is the number one procedure she does almost daily. The ink for permanent makeup does not go as deep as a tattoo, so it is designed to fade slowly. Sara provides a free consultation with her clients to learn more about them and what type of permanent makeup they would like. She does very personalized work because no two faces or eyebrows are alike. Sara’s work helps her clients feel more confident and better about themselves. 

Sara has leased an office with Office Ours in Garner since September 2022. Finding the right office for her business was important because there are many requirements when opening a permanent makeup studio, such as tile floors and water access inside the office space. Providing a calm, quiet space is also a must for her clients. Office Ours provides not just an office suite but clean facilities and a lobby area for her clients. Sara also loves that she gets an external sign for her business that helps with her marketing and helps her clients find her location.

Sara has started teaching other tattoo artists, will soon offer scar camouflage restoration, and would love to own her own studio in a larger space one day. Until then, you can find her inside the Garner Office Ours location, helping her clients become the best version of themselves.

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.

5. Estimates and Invoices

When you send a prospective client an estimate with your home address or no address at all, they may question the legitimacy of this business they are about to contact for a service. An estimate is that final step before a prospect becomes a paying client, so you’ll want to show them that you have an actual address for your business. After the work is done, you will send them an invoice that contains the place for the client to send their payment. Which type of address is more professional and credible, a commercial address or a residential address? 

4. Business accounts:

When it comes to business, you must learn to segregate your personal life and business life. There are mental health and mindset reasons for this. There are also legal and financial reasons to do this. For example, you need to segregate your personal bank account from your business bank account. If you don’t, there could be tax consequences with the IRS or liability consequences with a plaintiff quickly being able to pierce the corporate veil. You’ll also need separate insurance. Your personal homeowner liability policy doesn’t cover business activities. So why would you commingle your home address and business address? You need an address you can give your bank and your insurance broker to put on your policy. When you move residences, do you want to also change all your business addresses on all your business accounts? Financial institutions will look upon you more favorably if you are using a commercial property address and a business phone number that isn’t your cell phone.

3. Business cards: 

After meeting someone face to face and shaking their hand, the next tradition in the business world is to exchange business cards. Doing so gives each person the ability to remember your name and contact you after the meeting for a follow-up meeting. Your business card is the first impression they will get of your business. When someone doesn’t see an address on the business card, they might ask themselves, “what are they hiding?” Or, if they look up the address on Google Maps and they see a picture of a residential house, they may immediately ask, “Is this a real business?” The address of a commercial office on your business card shows that you are a professional.

2. Website:

For many people you haven’t met yet, your website is the first and only impression they will get of your company. When potential clients, partners, investors, and employees view your website and see that you don’t have a commercial address listed, they may ask themselves, “Do they not invest in their company enough even to have a professional business address?” This may be a reason why they decide to look elsewhere when choosing where to do their business. Having your virtual office address on your website will show that you have a credible company.

1. Secretary of state website:

When you file your incorporation, you have to give the secretary of state the address for your business. This address is public record. Do you want your home address to be listed as your business address on the internet? You want to separate your personal life from your business, and you don’t want anyone with access to the internet to find your home address. Having a business address to give the secretary of state for your business will provide you with confidence that your home life is separate from your business life. 

While other places like business directories are important to add your address to, the locations listed above are the most visible to potential clients and partners. When someone looks you up or searches for your business, you want to be prepared to give an excellent first impression. Whether you have an office suite or a virtual office, getting your business address out there and into the world will fuel your business.
