Beverly Hills, California, September 12, 2005 ----

The Beverly Hills headquarters of GLOBAL BUSINESS CENTERS (GBC) at 468 North Camden has two office floors, but if the company’s CEO & Founder has his way… it will soon be the mailing address to more than 15-thousand successful businesses. Space will never run out. That’s because the clients are virtual, working from the comfort of their homes, the golf course, or even their private yacht.

GBC has been in the Virtual Office business for five years now, but recent business and lifestyle trends have made their unique services even more in demand. From as low as $165 dollars a month a businessperson anywhere in the world can have a prestigious presence in Beverly Hills’ Golden Triangle,and other attractive locations such as New York, Hong Kong, and Beijing. A friendly receptionist answers
their calls, and other essential business services are provided. Clients also have the option to show up at the Beverly Hills office and any of the other office locations at anytime to meet local clients and utilize GBC’s spacious boardrooms.

The company’s employees get intensive training in how to support their clients' lifestyle. "It’s more than just answering the phone, our employees make an effort to really get involved and learn our clients' businesses," says GBC Founder/CEO Danny Manheim. Joining GBC is so easy, that one can literally sign up on the company’s
website http://gbcone.com, or call 1-800-366-5004 in the morning and start doing business with a Beverly Hills or other attractive worldwide office address later that day. Agreements are month to month. "But typically once someone signs up to this new lifestyle... they can't imagine doing it any way else," says Manheim.

Manheim is constantly thinking of new ways to fulfill his virtual clients' needs. GBC’s latest service called “Personal Remote Executive Assistant,” for example, caters to executives who need extra personal assistance. Instead of paying a high annual salary to an exclusive executive assistant, they can share one for the cost of 600-800 dollars a month.

Other recent services include “E-Package”. GBC receives clients’ packages and then sends an email or SMS notifying them the package arrived and what it contains. Clients can also receive their mail and faxes as e-files, as well as other cutting-edge services. A Los Angeles Times report estimates that nearly 24 million American company
employees work from home, and roughly the same amount run their own business from their home. Manheim first noticed the new trend of people choosing to work from home, while traveling around the world. He spent a total of ten years traveling throughout Asia, Europe, and Africa, spending time in such countries as India, China, Nepal, Japan, and Israel.

“The lifestyle of the new world is my passion says,” Manheim. ”To support people in achieving their financial freedom while at the same time being able to spend more time with their family, “ says Manheim.Recent events have only reinforced Manheim’s vision. Businesses that might have been destroyed, or interrupted by Terrorism or natural disasters could be back in business instantly with a virtual office. GBC has alternate locations so that it will always be able to be up and running. The virtual office is also the perfect solution for the spike in gas prices, says Manheim. “Clients don’t have to beat the traffic, and spend money on gas.

When it comes to potential clients there's virtually no limit, the most common being the typical small business. 900,000 new businesses open up every year. But many fail in their first year due to a lack of funds, infrastructure and knowledge. Manheim views his company as an incubator, providing his virtual client’s opportunities to grow and do business with each other. We’ve taken B2B to the next level, we focus on P2P (People to People). The company offers monthly networking events free of charge. Different speakers provide insight on everything from internet marketing to Feng Shui.

Other promising markets include single mothers, recent MBA graduates, and Lawyers who want to work from home, but still need a place to perform depositions. Last but not least there is the vast international market. “Thomas Friedman is right when he says the world is flat,” says Manheim. ” The world has become even more connected in recent years, and individuals can do business from anywhere in the world on an equal playing field”. “An accountant for
example can work from home and outsource his tax return work
to India to reduce overhead. But at the end of the day he needs to meet with his clients. We are the bridge … the meeting place,” says Manheim.

Manheim is very optimistic about GBC’s future. “We plan on opening offices on the best streets in all major cities across the nation”. Manheim is confident that GBC will become a global brand, with people around the world viewing GBC as their platform to a new lifestyle and way of doing business. "It used to be that working out of a high-rise office building was a sign of success, but nowadays… a virtual office means smart business".
