Working from home for many business owners and independent contractors can often lead to distractions, and can create a less than professional image. One solution many business owners in the DC Metro area are turning to is renting private office spaces. Instead of locking themselves into an expensive lease or a noisy co-working space, they are renting cost-effective executive suites.
Named by Money magazine as one of the top 50 best places to live in the United States, Alexandria is a vibrant city full of water sports, shopping, outdoor parks, museums, art, cozy restaurants, and cobblestone roads. In a 2021 SmartAsset study, Virginia residents voted Alexandria one of the best places for small business owners. With beautiful scenery and business opportunities, Old Town is the perfect place to work and thrive as an entrepreneur.
So who are some of the business owners having success in Old Town Alexandria? Below are four professions and industries that are flourishing in Alexandria, who would benefit from renting a private office space.
Therapists: During the pandemic, many therapists including psychiatrists, speech therapists, and childhood therapists had to find creative ways to continue providing adequate patient care. As a therapist, renting your own office space ensures that sensitive conversations are under your control and protection for both you and your clients. It’s a win-win - your clients feel safe expressing themselves to you, and you feel comfortable, safe, and focused with fewer distractions.
Construction Companies: With the help of sophisticated, reliable, private office spaces in Alexandria, construction companies can look forward to cutting down their business expenses and associated stresses that come with owning or leasing a property. Oftentimes, construction companies only need a one to two person office to manage site projects and to bring in new business opportunities. Don’t overspend on more space than you need. Consider having your next architectural meeting in an executive office suite that also includes janitorial services.
Information Technology Professionals: Whether you run a start-up or work for a company, renting private office space will give you the space you need to tackle even the largest, most complex projects. Instead of choosing a cramped co-working space, enjoy a light and bright office with ample space to help you and your team get through the most important tasks.
Service Providers: If you have a business that offers services, like consulting, project management, or independent contracting, a private office can give your growing company a professional image, will limit distractions, and will help you be extremely productive when it comes to calls and client deliverables. Working in a prime location like Alexandria also offers many opportunities to network, meet with local clients for lunch, and have new business meetings in-office.
