Beware of “scammers” trying to get into executive suites with stolen credit card information

July 14th, 2008

Because many believe that Las Vegas is a place they can “hide out” with their business, alot of internet scammers and people that have an unscrupulous credit card scamming business think that getting a Las Vegas address will preclude them from being found out.  That’s why we run a credit report on any and all individuals wanting to do business in our center.   I have had several people email me and say they need an “immediate” address and want to start and will pay by credit card “right now”.  Usually, but not always, it means that they are expecting to receive “stolen” merchandise and need an actual office space in which to receive it so they seem more “credible”.  We will not tolerate this practice and will email and network with most every center in town with their information so they are aware of the situation.  More later………

What is the most economical way to do business in Las Vegas?

July 9th, 2008

It depends on whether you need “actual” office space or not.  If you are working out of your home most of the time, but need a legitimate business address, the most economical package is a mail only address plan.  For as little as $75 per month, you will have a premier Las Vegas mailing address, license posting, access to business machines, conference rooms and much more.  If your business takes off, you can step up to an affordable executive suite.  Executive suites themselves are economical because most centers are “all inclusive” and you don’t have to hire a secretary, pay for utilities and janitorial in addition to rent, pay for furniture, etc.  and you can get a short term lease; sometimes as little as a 3 month for one affordable monthly price.  You have to look around though and see what centers are located near your home or in your projected business area and take a look at your budget to see what will work for you.  If you don’t have a budget or your company pays the rent, then look for the best deal you can find which will be comfortable for both yourself and your employer.  More later……..

I am not familiar with how executive suites are set up. What are the usual sizes and what’s included, etc.

July 3rd, 2008

Executive Suites are usually one room ranging in size from as little as 100 square feet to as large as about 400 or 500 square feet.  Depending on the look you want, Class A luxury offices are a little more and probably start at about $700 per month up to $2,500 per month or if you don’t really need a high-end suite, you could probably find something starting at about $600 per month.  Some executive suite centers are “all-inclusive” meaning that they include the phone system, internet, furniture, secretary, etc. and some are set up with “basic” service and then provide a “menu” of services that are charged separately.  You just need to go on line and research some centers to see what they offer.  Since the market is down right now, you might be able to find a tremendous deal since most centers are offering incentives for move-in.  Don’t be afraid to ask questions to get the best deal.  More later……..

Do Business Legitimately in a Beautiful Setting Convenient to the Airport and Las Vegas Strip

June 25th, 2008

There are so many people out there that try to “get around” the cost of having a business location and work out of their homes.  Unfortunately the State does not allow you to work out of your home and in actuality, it is safer to post your business license in an office building than having people come to your home.  It also affords your business credibility and exclusivity when people want to check your business out.  For as little as $75 per month, you can post your business license, have a receptionist to greet you and your clients and handle your mail or packages, have access to conference rooms at a small additional hourly fee, have access to business machines and so much more!  Check out our website and see what I am talking about!  More later…..

I need a place with an on site receptionist to sign for packages and greet my clients when they drop information off; how do you suggest I go about finding this service?

June 10th, 2008

The best way to find what you are looking for is to go onto your computer and type “Las Vegas Virtual Offices” or “Las Vegas Mailing Address” into your search engine and several choices will pop up.  Contact a few different centers and ask if they have a live receptionist on staff.  Some executive suite centers offer virtual offices, but they have a remote receptionist and not someone right there in the building.  Remember, the receptionist is your first link to the outside world and it is important that they take care of your business needs.  More later…….

Do I really save with an “all inclusive” turnkey rental for executive suites?

May 29th, 2008

It depends.  It’s nice and extremely convenient to have an office to just move right into without worrying about getting furniture, equipment, etc.  You have to find out what you are really receiving for your money and if it’s worth the monthly cost.  The best way to do that is to look at some executive suite centers that do not include everything and break it down by rent, services included, etc.  Sometimes the all inclusive feature has services that you will never use or they charge alot of overage for their furniture or phone answering.  If it’s a difference of say $100 per month or less, it is probably worth it, but if you are talking hundreds of more dollars per month or per annum, then  you need to reconsider your choice.  Also always make sure that you will not receive a ridiculous rent increase after your initial term with any center.  Because of the current market conditions, alot of  centers are offering great discounts for move-in, but they will substantially increase your rent if you stay.  Always ask if the manager can give you a cap rate or an option to renew at the same rate after the initial term.    If they want your business, they will work something out with you.  More later…………….

The Las Vegas market is slowly changing for the better, now is the time to either get your company started or keep it going so you are ready for the influx….

May 23rd, 2008

Contrary to what you have been hearing, the market is on an upswing in Las Vegas and, with alot of properties getting ready to open, small office space (executive suites) is now back in demand; it’s affordable, turnkey and short term, so there are no long term obligations to worry about and your business can reorganize or downsize and stay strong.   Also, if you just need a business address, you can do that for as little as $75 per month!  Look around and see what’s out there!  More later……..

I am a little leery about doing business in Las Vegas, but my company wants to have a Southern Nevada address to do business. What do you suggest?

May 12th, 2008

There are so many misconceptions about Las Vegas.  People think that there are strip joints on every corner and people that live here all work in casinos and gamble every day.    Las Vegas is a wonderful place to live and do business.  Yes we have casinos, but we are also one of the top shopping meccas in the world and have thousands of wonderful restaurants and businessess OFF of the Las Vegas Strip.  It’s kind of like people that live in California; everyone thinks they go to Disneyland or Hollywood every day which is just ridiculous!  People that live in Las Vegas or Henderson rarely go to the Strip unless they are employed by a casino and even then, they don’t gamble because they have lives to live.  We have schools, parks, recreation, grocery stores, libraries, gyms and much more just like any other town in America.  You don’t have to worry about doing business here; just contact our local Chamber of Commerce  or the Nevada Development Authority and they would be more than happy to send you information about businesses in our Community!  More later……….

Try to stay in business! You can hang on with a Las Vegas address plan!

May 7th, 2008

Alot of businesses are forced to either downsize or even close due to the market change.  May I suggest that, if you want to try and stay in business, do a temporary license posting until you can figure out how to keep your business going, because the market will come back over the next year or so and then it will take off!   Just make sure that whoever regulates your business will allow you to just hang your license without office space.  For as little as $75 per month alot of executive suite centers are offering a license posting at a premier Las Vegas office building in which to receive mail, mail sorting (forwarding upon request), access to business machines, access to conference rooms and signage or, if you need a phone line answered, it will be a little more per month.  This efficient and affordable service will allow you to reorganize over the next several months and then when you are ready, you can start in a small office and grow!  You don’t have to give up!  More later………
