Why Bath is the perfect choice for your virtual office

Thinking about setting up a Bath virtual office? Read on to discover why the city makes the perfect location for your business.

Bath city

Famous for its Roman history, hot springs and Jane Austen, Bath is one of the UK’s most celebrated cities. Its picturesque past forms an attractive and inspiring backdrop for its illustrious present. So it’s little wonder the city is such a popular choice for businesses and entrepreneurs. If you’re looking at making the city your home, a great cost-effective solution could be a virtual office.

Ranked the country’s third best performing location (in terms of the local economy, health and environmental factors) in the 2021 Vitality Index, Bath is regularly named one of the UK’s best places to live and work. Home to two renowned universities, it’s an attractive prospect for businesses looking to locate to the South West thanks to a ready supply of well-qualified graduates.

Crucially, Bath is just down the road from Bristol, a major business and transport hub for the region, making it well connected with the rest of the UK and beyond. The engineering, tech and creative industries are a particularly strong presence. Rotork Plc, IPL and Wessex Water are among the businesses with their headquarters in Bath. Will yours be next?

Support and advice for businesses in Bath

Hot-off-the-press start-up or decades-old SME, you’ll easily find the business support you need should you choose to base yourself in Bath.

For starters, you’ll find lots of advice and support on growing your business and innovating courtesy of Business West. In collaboration with neighbouring Bristol and several other universities in the south of England, Bath is also home to the award-winning SETsquared programme. An innovation centre and the world’s top university incubator, which runs workshops and events that support local businesses and economic growth.

Whatever your industry, Bath Business Focus is a networking group you’ll want to know about if you’re doing business in Bath. If you’re active in the creative, tech or cultural spaces, you’re well catered for with Creative Bath, a network of businesses, organisations and individuals that hosts regular events as well as promoting yours. If you’re a woman with a business in Bath, you’ll also find a friendly network in the Bath Business Women’s Association.

Living and working in Bath

Cities don’t get more beautiful than Bath, with its imposing Georgian terraces and sweeping crescents. Although popular with tourists, it’s a very liveable city, with a small centre that’s easy to get around on foot. Needless to say, there’s a fantastic array of independent cafes, bars and restaurants for after-work drinks and Saturday morning coffees.

Bath is noted for its thriving arts and cultural scene – not surprising in view of its literary past. It’s also the UK’s most progressive city according to research by Bankrate, which found it had higher-than-average voter turnout, recycling rates and vegetarian and vegan restaurants.
