E:hey, the new SOHO. How's everything going?
B:everything's great.I've just returned from my office.

B: sure I am. I work for myself, but I've rented a virtual office at an office building in the downtown area.
E: a virtual office?
B: yeah, an office that runs efficiently by using nothing other than online communication technologies. I pay the rent and share office services with others in the same building.
E: what kind of services do they offer?
B: a separated office, internet access, phone services, fax services, mail & courier services, and almost everything you have in a conventional office.
E: sounds fun.what else?
B: I get a business address at an expensive location, and I can share the receptionist and secretary with other offices in the same floor.
E: oh, that helps a lot to promote your "corporate image".
B: you bet it!
