What is a "virtual" office and how does it work?
Virtual refers to our Business Identity members. Similar to an athletic club, there are different levels of membership allowing the office user to select from the number of hours per month they will need an office.
What are the rates for a virtual office?
Surprisingly inexpensive. For as little as $100 per month one can become a virtual member and establish a Business Identity. Each member is entitled to the use of an executive office or conference room (for an additional fee), the phone answering service, and mail delivery.
Can I sign on for phone answering only?
Our answering service offers phone service only. Our phone answering system is state-of-the-art and can be customized to your specifications. It is especially useful for businesspersons who have equity in another number and want to continue to use that number.
Do you have mail delivery?
As a member of Valley Oak Executive Suites you can have mail delivered to a prestigious Shaw Avenue address. We will pick up and deliver your mail to a secure mailbox. You may have a mailbox, without actually having an office here with the Virtual Office plan.
How do you charge for printing, faxing, copying and stuff like that?
All fees for incidentals are charged on an "a la carte" basis. If there is extensive use of these properties we will revert to a "bulk" fee.
What are your rates for full time offices?
Rates vary depending on the size of the office, the views, the furnishings and the technology. However, when you consider the cost of renting, tenant improvements, staffing, purchasing, installing and maintaining equipment, you will recognize a number of savings by having the Valley Oak Executive Suites administer to these details.
Can I have 24 hour access to the offices?
If you are a full time member, yes. Virtual members have use of the offices during regular business hours.
Do you have secretarial services?
Our offices are supported by trained administrative staff proficient with computers, we offer database management, typing/word processing, data processing, light bookkeeping and clerical support.
Technology is important to my business, how 'wired' are your offices?
All our offices are pre-wired for High Speed Internet access.
Is parking a problem?
Parking is not a problem. We have ample free outdoor parking.
Can we hold a meeting in your offices?
We have two small meeting rooms for 2-4 people. Our boardroom can accommodate 10 people. The boardroom is equipped for VCR/television, white board, and speaker phone. Beverage service and catering can be arranged through our staff.
What special services do you offer your clients?
The staff at the Valley Oak Executive Suites are trained administrative personnel skilled in managing all aspects of running an office including but not limited to meeting management and catering services.
I have an office in my home. What need would I have for the Valley Oak Executive Suites?
Many people find it difficult to get work done at home. The environment at the Valley Oak Executive Suites is professional and supportive of all aspects of business. Meeting with clients in your dining room may not be the "appearance" of professionalism that you would like. Our meeting rooms can be rented on a per/hour basis and are equipped with telephone.
I don't live in the area. Would a membership be cost effective for me?
Virtual memberships are the answer to visitors to the Fresno Area. Membership packages are based on monthly/hourly use. The unused hours accrue for future use of the facilities.
For administrative services, isn't it less expensive to use a copy center?
We are very cost competitive and there are several efficiencies that make our services affordable to our office members. All clerical and administrative services are completed on site so there is no need to make several visits, or to waste time waiting for job completion. Billing is incorporated into a monthly statement creating further cost efficiencies and helpful cash management.
I'm in the process of completing a permanent office. Can I use Valley Oak Executive Suites on a short-term basis?
Hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rentals are all possible. Offices and meeting rooms can be reserved on a space available basis.
