Since the pandemic started, more and more companies have resorted to virtual meeting platforms like Zoom, Google Meets and Microsoft Teams. Those tools have been invaluable for keeping co-workers, clients and colleagues connected – as well as grandparents, ex-pats, friends and families – anyone who can’t gather together in person.

If you’re an entrepreneur, a sole-proprietor or are just one of those people that needs a little help staying organized – Sobon & Associates has the support you need. Not only do we offer temporary office space on an hourly, daily or monthly basis, but we have an on-site support team that can help you be polished, professional and well organized.

 Location, location, location.

“Where are you guys located?” is a question your potential hires, vendors and customers will want to know. Your company’s location is part of your corporate identity. So whether you’re targeting Hartford-area customers, Cheshire, Waterbury, Wolcott… a Virtual Office gives your business a brick-and-mortar address, right in Central Connecticut. Halfway between Boston and New York.

And here’s the really good news: You won’t pay top dollar for the location, location, location, either.

When we say flexible, we mean flexible! First, you can choose as long as you want to stay, our space is available hourly, daily or weekly. Our private, individual offices are ideal for anyone who wants a space to call their own, without the long-term commitment or investment. Choose from a private interior or exterior office space, furnished or unfurnished. (See what we mean by flexible?) All you need is your computer – or whatever medium you work in. (If you’re an artist, please don’t forget your drop cloth!)

Peace and quiet is a wonderful thing! Here are seven reasons you might not have thought of to rent an office space – weekly, hourly or monthly!

1. Loud talkers. Since Covid, a lot of offices have been shuttered and employees are required to work from home. But what if you have a 1BR apartment and nowhere to go? Or even worse, what if your partner is a loud talker, and they’re on the phone all day? There’s only so long you can wear headphones and hope to drown them out. We’re here for you… with round-the-clock access to your office.

When you’re looking to rent a meeting room for an off-site meeting, training or presentation, you might shop around for the ideal location. But do you really know what you’re shopping for? Here are the “must-haves” when it comes to executive suites and conference rooms for rent.

For decades, real estate in Connecticut has been on the rise, known for its exclusivity – and its taxes. Rents averaging $27/sqft/year weren’t unheard of for commercial properties in Hartford, and the even the surrounding areas like Waterbury, Cheshire and Wolcott were enjoying the halo effect of being near the Capitol and along the I84, I691 and I91 corridor.

When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic over a year ago, businesses in Central Connecticut and the surrounding areas started to quake in their boots. Even the big guys struggled, faced with supply-chain nightmares and manufacturing shutdowns – as Connecticut seemed to slowly grind to a halt.

The city streets were ghost towns. Route 84 was empty. Taxicabs and Uber drivers roamed the streets looking for fares, and found none. Restaurants were shuttered and more and more employees worked from home. Every business looked at ways to survive – to do more with less.
