The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is the second largest financial center in North America... which makes it tricky to pick a spot to do business. That’s why the Intelligent Office (IO) team has put together this quick guide — with several locations throughout Toronto and Ontario, we understand what business owners need from a virtual office.
If your business needs to be at the center of all the action, the downtown Toronto area might be exactly what you’re looking for. You’ll have tons of virtual office choices, including two from IO:
The neighborhood of North York is as diverse as the people who call it home. It’s also a major player in the GTA’s business scene. The central business district is North York Centre, which is where the former city’s government was situated before it’s 1998 amalgamation with the Metropolitan Toronto area. IO’s North York office is less than 5 minutes away from the North York Centre, making it a convenient choice for business owners who need a virtual office.
Sometimes, you just need to be close to the airport. In that case, Mississauga makes for a great small business base. You’ll be approximately 10 minutes away from YYZ, so greeting visitors or traveling for work is a breeze. If you’re looking for an affordable virtual office in this area, be sure to visit our Mississauga (Toronto Airport Corp Center) location.
The Midtown Toronto area is ideal for commuters, thanks to its proximity to the 401 highway and the Don Valley Parkway. In this charming area of the GTA, Intelligent Office is set-up in the Yonge Eglinton Centre. Members have direct subway access, and will also enjoy being surrounded by unique retail stores and popular restaurants.
Vaughan boasts a central location right in the center of the GTA, in between downtown Toronto, Markham / Richmond Hill, Mississauga, and Brampton. For business owners who need convenient access to the whole metropolitan area, Vaughan is a great choice.
If you office with Intelligent Office in Vaughan, you get a fantastic location in the state of the art Deloitte Building. There’s ample access to free parking.
Hamilton sits at the westernmost end of Lake Ontario, and its prominent industries include manufacturing and health sciences. Still, there’s no shortage of other services and industries represented here, which is why many small business owners choose Hamilton as their base.
Downtown Hamilton is the business center of the city, and Intelligent Office’s Hamilton location is directly across the street from the Hamilton Go Station, a short walk from City Hall, and near both courthouses.
