To assist German companies with their entry into the US market, DEinternational, the consulting arm of GACCoM, can supply a virtual office, or Geschäftspräsenz.  Having a US address and telephone number tells your customers and partners that you are serious about them and the US market, and the importance of being able to reach someone during US business hours - late evening in Germany - cannot be overestimated.  With a virtual office (Geschäftspräsenz) from DEinternational, you can increase the contact to your customers and partners without the high costs associated with opening your own office.  You will have your own, dedicated phone number and a Chicago address, and one of the GACCoM staff will be personally responsible for your account. Hourly packages of 5, 10, 20, and 40 hours per month are available. In addition to handling customer inquiries and general correspondence, we can also prepare and send mailings, do market research, or complete other tasks for your company during these hours.  Some companies use the virtual office as their permanent US business address, while others use it temporarily while preparing to open their own location. Whatever your business goals, the virtual office can help you gain an immediate foothold, leaving you time to concentrate on building your business.
