Beverly Hills, CA (March 19th, 2008) Global Business Centers, a leading supplier of premium and virtual office solutions, today announced a comprehensive new approach to help both large and small companies surmount these challenging economic times. To assist firms in staying fully solvent and competitive, Global Business Centers has unveiled an innovative Recession-Proof Program designed to significantly decrease a company’s overhead costs while increasing profits.
Located in the heart of Beverly Hills, just steps from Rodeo Drive, the company’s eye-catching office building is currently home to over 900 highly diverse businesses. With years of experience in providing personal support to professionals, entrepreneurs and multinational corporations, the company is strongly positioned to make sure that business owners now have a strategic option to insure they will not only survive, but thrive during the difficult times looming ahead.
“By combining the advantages of physical and virtual offices,” explains Dan Manheim, president of Global Business Centers. “Our Recession-Proof Program provides clients with the best of both worlds. Through moving all or even part of their operations to our facility, they can combat rising expenses related to higher rents and skyrocketing energy costs. In addition, they can significantly lessen their workforce, thereby reducing payroll, sick and vacation time, holiday pay, employment taxes, workman’s compensation, not to mention office supplies and furniture. In other words, our clients can easily downsize their operations without downsizing their image or income.”
The Recession-Proof Program employs services perfected by Global Business Centers over the past seven years and is customized to each individual client. It features a prestigious Beverly Hills address, full time receptionists, private phone numbers for every separate business, live phone answering in each company’s name, direct transfer of phone calls to anywhere in the world, complete mail and fax services (not a post office box), available secretarial and courier services, access to fully equipped private offices, five state-of-the-art conference rooms, plus an expansive outdoor terrace designed for unlimited meetings in a breathtaking “California-Style” setting.
With overhead expenses cut by over 90% for most companies, the Recession-Proof Program provides real security during these insecure times to new start-ups as well as nervous business owners. “We’re projecting over $75,000 in savings this year,” says Richard Fine, Norwegian Consulate General. “Better yet, we’ve been able to fine tune our supervisory approach, so now we don’t have to pay anymore for employee downtime or for office space that isn’t being utilized the right way. Relocating to Global Business Centers has proven to be exceptionally time-efficient as well. Instead of worrying about tedious administrative details or personnel issues, it’s allowed us to focus on the critical tasks at hand such as gaining clientele and boosting trade revenues.”
With perception often as important as reality, the 90210 address of Global Business Centers has allowed many professional firms to increase their fees as much as 47% over their previous areas of residence. “Location is everything,” according to Simon Stone, owner of Simonsons Leasing. “Being in the heart of Beverly Hills, where the rich and famous come from around the world to do business, we feel justified in charging more for our services. On top of that, we’ve been able to attract a far higher level of clientele, people who can afford and indeed expect to pay more. As far as I can see, they don’t seem to be cutting back on their spending at all.”
Another key benefit of The Recession-Proof Program is the inside access that it gives businesses to each other. “This place really functions more like a mini-chamber of commerce,” proclaims Ron Davis, co-founder of Global Business Centers. “In fact, dozens of referrals go back and forth between the companies situated here everyday. And we absolutely encourage it. Because we make sure our staff understands the nature of every business that we provide services for. So if someone asks for a recommendation, we can be right on top of it.”
The objective of Global Business Centers is to fully assist business owners and entrepreneurs in building, protecting, and expanding their prestige and profits during both good times and bad. For those companies that require a bi-coastal presence, Global Business Centers additionally has an outstanding midtown location in New York City as well, and worldwide affiliations across Asia.
