We recently sat down with a newly established CIC who signed up for VAL's Virtual Office service, and we were keen to hear how it’s helped them on their journey so far.
From boosting their professional image to freeing up valuable time and headspace, they shared how having a reliable business address and support behind them has made a real difference during those early, crucial stages of setting up.
Here’s what they told us…
Why did you choose to use a Virtual Office?
As a start up organisation, we wanted to ensure our team’s home addresses remained private and secure. Much of our work involves liaising with regulatory bodies, so having a clear separation between our personal and professional details was essential. A Virtual Office gave us that layer of protection and professionalism.
Why did you choose VAL?
We had worked with VAL previously and knew them as a trusted organisation with a long-standing reputation for supporting the community. Choosing their Virtual Office service has strengthened our relationship even further. It’s opened doors to valuable support, improved our visibility, and helped us connect with funders.
Kaye from Voluntary Action Leeds (VAL) and Rachel from West Yorkshire Business for Good have been incredible—supportive, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Being able to pop into our Virtual Office and meet with the team for a coffee and guidance has been a huge benefit to us!
Would you recommend the service?
Absolutely, yes!
