Some established businesses are also resorting to virtual office spaces as the rental rates for conventional offices skyrocket. At one time, Muchemi operated from a virtual office in the United Kingdom (UK). “I first learnt about the virtual office idea when I was in the UK for a number of months where we shared office space with other people. “Although some of the office services are normally factored in the money you pay for a virtual office, the costs are shared among those you share the office with, making it cheaper,” Njoki says. One of the latest entrants in Kenya’s virtual office business is Regus.com, which is opening a number of office spaces in a number of prime city locations, charging Sh1,300 per day per person.
