Serviced offices are increasingly popular, offering businesses old and new the chance to find accommodation suitable to their individual needs, without having to worry about finding, managing and furnishing their chosen space.
Serviced offices are usually provided fully furnished with desks, chairs, filing cabinets and phones, most importantly they are available on flexible terms for as little as a months fixed fee.
What is included in the rent varies from company to company, but usually they include some or all of the following: rent, business rates, utilities, service charge, building insurance, a telephone line and internet connection. Some also include a telephone answering service.
Typical leases tie a business to a location for at least ten years, but over that time a company's space requirements may change. Whether a business is looking to expand or contract, trying to adjust your office space when tied into a lease often involves significant costs, issues and delays.
Tenants of a serviced office have the flexibility to expand or contract their office space as they wish. This is beneficial to business and means they don't waste money on idle space, but can expand when necessary without having to move offices and change their business address.
Occupation into an office space can be gained often within a matter of hours and although serviced office space is more expensive than unserviced offices, the time you save moving in and out makes the investment worthwhile.
Serviced offices aren't just suitable for new or small businesses, nor do they simply offer a temporary solution for office space. Their flexibility and the services provided mean they are an ideal permanent solution to businesses of all sizes.
There are a range of locations for serviced offices Mayfair, St James' Square and Victoria are just a few of the prestigious areas of London where serviced offices are available. Offices also available around the UK including Edinburgh, Bath and Manchester.
