How Remote Work Benefits You and the Environment

Remote work is both energy and cost efficient!

Many companies have chosen to integrate remote positions into their business model. COVID-19 has forced many companies to find new production methods without operating at a full in-house capacity. Many companies have found remote work to be beneficial and easier in the long run. With so many companies turning to remote work, the environment has benefitted tremendously.

The pollution of the air and water has been detrimental to the earth, and overall affects our quality of living. One of the largest contributors to the earth’s pollution is the working class. With working from home being implemented at an exponential rate, scientists have seen environmental pollution decrease.  

Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Greenhouse gases are created by the burning of fossil fuels such as oil. These emissions are the number one cause of climate change, as they make the earth significantly warmer. Working from home has had a positive impact on the rate of pollution. Working from home means less people on the road for a daily commute, which in turn means less gas emissions.

Lessened Physical Waste

When operating in-house, companies often end up doing more printing and physical paperwork. When working remotely, the majority of the work is done in online programs and soft copies of paperwork are sent electronically.

Working remotely also means there will be less morning coffee stops, less plastic utensils, and less packaged lunches being consumed. Many of those working from home will opt for using the things they already own, which are most of the time reusable.

Reduced Power Consumption

Companies use less energy when employing remote workers. Less energy usage means a lower overhead for the company and a healthier environment.  Even employing partially remote employees can contribute to a greener environment.

New Year, New Beginnings, Achieve Your Business Goals for the Year

The perfect professional concept to take your business to the next level!

Every January, it is a common tradition to set goals for the upcoming year. Many people include professional aspirations on the list of things they would like to achieve. If you are embarking on a new business venture or an established business owner looking to expand your service area, the new year is a great time to set forth new goals. Here at Ocean One Stuart, we pride ourselves in helping business owners put their best foot forward. Here are a few tips to help achieve your business aspirations this year:

 

Do Your Business and Industry Research  

It is always easier to plan for something when you know what to expect. If you are establishing or expanding your business into a new area be sure to look up the laws and ordinances on both the state and county level.  Find out what the deadlines are for filing paperwork. Consider drafting a financial plan consisting of rough estimates of expenses and budgets. It will help streamline the process of transitioning to a new area seamlessly.

Set Realistic and Achievable Goals

Keep in mind that you may still have to operate your existing business or work a day job while establishing your new concept. This may mean that it will take you longer to complete complex and time-consuming parts of the establishment process. By setting realistic and flexible goals, you will be better prepared to succeed and achieve them. 

Call Ocean One Stuart today for more information about how we can help you achieve your business goals!

Contact Ocean One today for Business expansion options.

Are you a business professional looking to expand your service region, potentially operate a second location, or legitimize your business address? A  branch location or satellite office might be the answer you are looking for. This type of workspace can be used for a wide variety of businesses.

• How much upkeep will a satellite office need?
• What is my budget for rent if I am not going to be in the office full time?
• How often will I be in the office?

If these are the questions that deter you from considering a physical office, Ocean One has the solution for you. We have office space that can serve as an ideal option for those looking for a fully operating branch office in the heart of the Treasure Coast. Additionally, Ocean One offers virtual offices for professionals who do not need a physical office. Our virtual offices include a real street address, a secretary, and three conference rooms for those who need a hybrid space to be able to conduct business on the Treasure Coast; which is a centralized location for those looking to expand their business.

The overhead of a conventional office may not be suitable every business. More specifically, for those who only temporarily need an office in a specific location. Many professionals do not spend a lot of time in the office, such as freelancers, realtors or lawyers. Business professionals in these industries still need a professional space to host meetings with clients and run day to day operations. While a home office is comfortable and useful, some clients may feel more comfortable meeting in a neutral setting.  These types of offices are perfect for this the business previously listed.

Satellite offices provide the stability of a physical location. Beneficially, they offer the freedom and mobility of remote and locational work. They are much more cost efficient than second establishments, keeping your bottom line in mind.

Call or come by Ocean One Stuart today to inquire more about a satellite office at our prestigious location for less than $195/month!

Use a Virtual Office to Grow Your Business

A virtual office breaks you out of the typical constrictions of commercial real estate.

Ways that virtual offices can grow your business:

1. Business Credibility

Business cards look more professional with a business address and company phone compared to a cell phone and home address. This can help improve build trust for potential clients. Lenders typically ask for an office address and will not accept home addresses or PO boxes.

2. Can Act as a Satellite Office

Having a business in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Jacksonville doesn’t mean that you can only reach an audience in that specific city. Our virtual offices provide a business address in Downtown Stuart, the heart of the treasure coast. This helps establish a presence in the area of your target market. It also will aid your marketing efforts in the area.

3. Receptionist/Assistant

A receptionist helps legitimize your business. They can answer your calls consistently during business hours and can take and relay messages for your business. This is also a very cost-effective solution. You have all the benefits of a full-time worker without the need to add a full-time paid employee to your payroll.

4. Minimized Costs

With the minimal costs associated with virtual offices, you can invest more back into your business. Securing a virtual office through OceanOne means you are securing our prestigious business address without the high cost of rental space. Besides commercial space, you will also be avoiding the cost of utilities, furniture, and technology.

5. Conference Room Access

Here at Ocean One, you will have access to our fully furnished conference room. Our conference room comes equipped with beverages, access to two smart TVs, and a business phone. When you need to meet with a client, having your meeting at our prestigious location will help elevate your business.

6. Increased Work Force

Renting a commercial space means you are limited on space and therefore limited on the size of your workforce. With a virtual office you are ridding yourself of this limitation, allowing your company to grow immensely. You also are not limited by hiring people within a specific area. You can expand your search and have more of a pool to choose one.
