Business Center International

A ready-made workplace, with furniture, meeting rooms and a front desk already in place, is what Business Center International offers companies in Richmond, Virginia. Known as BCI, it keeps its serviced office building in Innsbrook, an area close to restaurants, shops, hotels, the major interstates and Richmond International Airport.

Offices by the day or the year

Tenants can choose from several kinds of space, among them private offices taken full time, office suites, shared offices, day offices and corporate-ready suites that are set up to move into. Virtual office clients can use the address and services without taking a desk, and one customer's account of starting with a virtual office and later moving into a physical one reflects a path the facility supports as a company grows.

Meeting and training rooms

For occasions that do not need a permanent office, BCI rents out a training center, a board room and conference rooms. A day office is available for visitors who simply need a desk and a door, and meeting rooms can be booked ahead through its site.

Business support services

Behind the rooms is a staffed support operation. Reception and call handling mean a virtual tenant's phones are answered when the owner is in meetings or travelling, and administrative help is available to tenants who do not employ their own assistant. Technical tools and resources are provided on site, including videoconferencing, and a notary service is on hand for document signings.

An independent, family-run operator

BCI says it is not a chain or a franchise. It describes itself as locally owned and family operated, with more than thirty years in the serviced office industry and an award from industry peers. Among the situations it says it has helped with is a firm displaced by a fire at its own premises that needed working space at short notice.
