Is your business ready for a virtual office?

Would you like to enjoy all the benefits of a prestigious office address — at a fraction of the cost?

Whether you’re an Atlanta-area law firm looking for an occasional office in Alpharetta or an entrepreneur ready to establish a more professional public face or a work-from-home start up or side business, a Northpoint Executive Suites’ “virtual office” could be the solution.

What’s a “virtual office”? You could think of it as the New ‘P.O. Box’ for the modern era. Virtual offices can include:

• A prestigious corporate address in Alpharetta
• Mail service that can receive and forward your mail (physically or scan to email)
• A local phone number
• A live receptionist answering calls for your business
• 16 hours/month of private office access

And the best thing is the cost — as low as $79/month for basic mail handling and, just $349/month for mail, call handling and private office usage.

Get the benefits and the prestige of a corporate office at a fraction of the cost. Visit Northpoint Executive Suites or call 678-242-5200 to learn more.

Now, today's weather: Today will have showers and a heavier t-storm. The high will be 76 with a low of 66.

Here are the top stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. There was a burglary last weekend at a home in Milton's Crabapple Brook subdivision. The house was not occupied, and it was robbed between Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. In addition, there was "suspicious activity" reported at an empty home on Tree Loft Road, but police didn't find any evidence of a burglary. There are additional patrols in both of these areas of Milton, and police are reminding the public to call 911 if you see anything suspicious. In addition, you can take advantage of vacation checks offered to all residents; here is a link to sign up: https://www.miltonga.gov/.../police/vacation-patrol-request.

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Milton High School Band. Of course, attendees must be 21 or older. (Milton High School Percussion via Facebook)
3. A fun time was had by all who attended Hero Day last weekend at Alpharetta's Wills Park Pool. Children played games, participated in relays, and had other events with Alpharetta firefighters and police. (Alpharetta Department of Public Safety via Facebook)
