This business plan details the launch of a boutique virtual office service tailored to freelancers, startups, and small businesses seeking a prestigious Makati business address without the high overhead of a traditional office. By leveraging a residential space (2 bedrooms, 1 living room) with a monthly rent of PHP 30,000, we can offer competitive pricing while providing essential virtual office services. Success hinges on obtaining the necessary permits to operate in a residential zone, a targeted marketing strategy, and exceptional client service.
A lower overhead allows for more competitive pricing. The smaller scale of operations enables a more personal and responsive service compared to large, impersonal corporations.
CRITICAL FIRST STEP: The entire viability of this venture is dependent on securing the proper permits to operate a virtual office from a residential address in San Antonio, Makati. You must verify this with the Makati City Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) before proceeding.
