If you find that it is getting harder and harder to run your business you may need some professional help.  It's time to talk to a professional business service provider when the office desk or kitchen table is no longer big enough and the mail-outs keep being returned.

The difficulty of finding good staff and the ever increasing demands of regulations and information technology means that life is getting more and stressful.

One of the most time consuming tasks for a business is to keep an up-to-date list of customers or members and to have this information in a form which can be easily used for mail-outs, mass emails and subscription records.

Or if your business takes you out and about, down a mine or up scaffolding, having a business service which can take care of paying staff, handling the banking, preparing quotations and sending out invoices can make you more productive in the area that you are good at.

A professional business centre can offer you a variety of services including:

- Assistance with typing, correspondence, mail-outs, photocopying
- Maintenance of your customer or membership database
- Monthly statements of profit and loss
- Assistance with annual budgets
- Receipt and bank all monies and payment of creditors

Wouldn't life be easier if you had someone to do all that for you!  And the cost of outsourcing it is much less that having staff on your premises and buying your own office equipment.

If you are a small business it is much more economical to have a serviced office rather than have to maintain your own premises and your own staff.

A serviced office can provide:

- A separate dedicated telephone line with messages taken
- Facsimile and Email facilities
- Up to date office equipment and a high volume photocopier
- Reception and board room facilities
- Mail collection and despatch
- Typing and photocopying

No more hassles of having to find an office and have staff on duty nine-to-five and keeping up-to-date with computing systems.

Belinda's Business Centre in Bathurst provides serviced offices, business services and secretariat services for professional and voluntary associations and clubs.
