VoIP Phone Service for Small Business Powered by Cisco Systems

CBV was founded by local Chicago entrepreneurs who bring more than 10 years experience delivering cost effective VoIP solutions to both small and large businesses.  Small and midsized businesses throughout IL and across the US were contacting us, inquiring about how VoIP solutions could benefit their business.  At the time, without a solution that targeted the lower end of the SMB market (less than 10 employees); we were continually asked “What VoIP providers do you recommend for a business my size?” 

Identifying the need for a cost effective, reliable VoIP solution for small business, Chicago Business VoIP was founded.

Our mission:  Solve the voice communication challenges for small business by providing advanced phone features the Fortune 500 companies use, at a price any SMB can afford!

The specific challenges SMB’s face when it comes to business phone service is twofold:

1. Lack of cost effective alternatives for access (phone lines)

2. Upfront cost to purchase a premise based phone system

The only solution for most small business is to contact AT&T and order POTS lines (plain old telephone service).  POTS lines are reliable, but also expensive, lack relevant features, and incur higher per minute usage fees and taxes.

Before VoIP technology took off, businesses had to rely on POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service).  POTS runs over a network called the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

The cost per minute for voice delivered over POTS, specifically long distance has come down over the years (remember when LD rates were .10 per min.), however the per minute charges for the less regulated local market are still very high, specifically for calls within IL- Bands A, B, and C.  Not to mention high taxes, which can sometimes account for over 28% of your total communications cost!

CBV Voice over IP is an alternative to POTS lines that will reduce your cost at the same time deliver advanced features that benefit YOUR business.

In addition to the lack of voice alternatives, SMB’s are also forced to spend thousands of dollars on the purchase of a new phone system, plus pay a 3^rd party to maintain and manage the system. 

Similar to when the new car leaves the sales lot, a phone system loses it value after purchase and in 18 months becomes quickly obsolete (until it is time for a costly upgrade).  CBV eliminates the need to purchase a phone system by hosting and maintaining all the phone equipment at a secure collocation facility in downtown Chicago.  Our firm has made the $1M investment which means our clients gain access to all the latest in voice technology- with free phone upgrades for life!

With CBV you can easily connect employees, secure your business, serve your clients better, be more productive, and work from anywhere!!

CBV provides our clients with a feature rich, flexible alternative to traditional phone solutions that will reduce your cost, increase your productivity, and improve your company image to the outside world.
