`Virtual offices' allow small-business owners to look like magnates.
Byline: Elaine Aradillas
CELEBRATION, Fla. _ When Kirby Ryan meets with clients interested in his medical services, they sit around a polished wooden desk inside a well-appointed executive office in downtown Celebration.
But Ryan must make an appointment to use the office at 215 Celebration Place because he's allotted only 16 hours a month there. Most of his time is spent at his home office 10 blocks away, where a spare room is lined with laptops and file cabinets.
About 150 small businesses share Suite 500 on the fifth floor in a corporate park surrounded by lakes and manicured lawns. Users pay $250 per month for a package that includes an elite mailing address, an answering service and occasional office space.
It's called a "virtual office," and for small-business owners _ who choose not to or cannot pay for expensive and scarce office space _ it's a way to look big-time at a small-time price.
