Help comes in many forms - Adactus can be one of them

-158

In my “245 days to go” blog I like to look at all angles of the startup business that I am putting together. I know that there are other startup business owners reading, so I think it’s wise to look at aspects of the business that can appeal to others as well. When you are planning and opening your startup business there are many issues to consider. One of the repeat issues I find when I speak to small business and startup owners is the fact that they can't always concentrate on what they are good at. Their skills sometimes go to waste because they are spending so much time carrying out other aspects of their business-

  •          Their accounts
  •          Their tax return
  •          Advertising and marketing
  •          Answering calls
  •          Preparing letters and invoices


There is help at hand for all of these areas, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best. Accountants are affordable for a small business, especially if you shop around,  and you can buy off the shelf marketing tools or use a local quality marketing company. And now you can look at a solution for your office.

Adactus (
http://www.adauctus-gmbh.ch/en/virtual-office-services/) is a high quality solution for a startup or small business that is looking for a virtual office.



What is a virtual office? I hear you ask.

The definition of a Virtual Office is a business location that exists only in cyberspace. A virtual office setup allows business owners and employees to work from any location by using technology such as laptop computers, cell phones and internet access. Furthermore it allows third party companies to provide call answering and secretarial services for the business.

And Adactus can do just that (and more) for your small business or startup business. Many startups are operated by one or two people to begin with and this can put a real strain on time. Time management is one way of looking at solving this problem and can be effective. Then another way is to get in more resources - but this comes at a cost. A great middle ground is to use Adactus to provide a virtual office solution for you. They can do the following things-

  •        Weekly mail transfer service
  •          Act as a secretary on your behalf
  •          Preparation of letters, offers, invoices and warning letters


These professional services by the virtual office will grant you a good reputation and earn your clients’ trust.



Having somebody else deal with your mail, your telephone calls and to draft your correspondence is a great weight off your shoulders and allows you to concentrate on other area of the business. After all, who wants to be tied down to paperwork when your best work can be done by spending quality time with your customers?

Check them out on their website and you can see what they have to offer. It can make the difference between success and failure and allow you to concentrate on all the things you are good at.

See why using outside help for some of your business needs frees up time for you to do what you do best

-130

As part of the process of setting up my own business, I have had reason to look in different parts of the internet for all sorts of ideas. Sometimes these internet searches are planned and sometimes a little bit of serendipity comes into play (see blog here - http://245daystogo.blogspot.com/2015/06/stumbling-across-ideas-and-answers-when.html )

I think that as the business develops, I will need outside help in some areas of what I attempt to do. For instance, I won’t try to conduct my own legal affairs – I will leave that to the expertise of a solicitor. I won’t want to spend hours of my time checking and filing my own accounts – I will make use of an accountant that knows their way around the tax rules.



And it was while looking into different professional business service providers that I came across the company Adactus - http://www.adauctus-gmbh.ch/en/

Being a well-established company that provides more than one service gives Adactus a head start when it comes to helping out startup companies such as the one I am putting together. In the early days of my estate agency business I will be trying to run the show from home but will have to spend a lot of time out on the road. And the question that this asks is “how will I be able to provide an office service for my customers?” I want them to be able to pick up the phone and speak to someone from my company but I hope to have my time filled with appointments at client’s houses. Adactus could provide an answer. They will provide a high-quality and professional telephone answering service in several languages, call acceptance and transfer, and a virtual secretary from Mondays to Fridays from 8:00 to 18:00, outside these hours – a voicemail service.

Tax is always a taxing question for any business large or small, so looking at what might be a tax beneficial status is something that many companies have looked into. You can have a discussion with Adactus about their company registration services after contacting them via their website. They can offer potential tax-related benefits for foreign companies, as they are based in Switzerland. Switzerland has one of the most beneficial tax rates in Europe along with a politically, geographically and economically stable infrastructure. That is highly attractive to foreign companies which choose to change their address to Switzerland.


As I stated at the start of the blog, Adactus are experienced in several areas that could help the average startup or the slightly more established company to get ahead in business. I try to look at business from several angles and highlight companies that I have used or would consider using to help me set up my small business. Recently I have shown how RawShorts and Fiverr could help a new or small business and I will keep on exposing good companies to my readers of this blog. If you have any questions about this then please do not hesitate to comment on the blog or get in touch with Adactus directly via their website.
