Need your company to look big, or at least like it’s all in one place, then you might want to take a look at virtual call forwarding, virtual assistants or a whole virtual office package.
There’s not a lot of difference between a virtual assistant and virtual call forwarding. In both situation your calls are answered and then forwarded on to the correct person, depending on the options the caller chose. Here’s a couple of companies that are currently offering this service pretty cheap:
