In our modern times, there are many different types of office spaces available to rent. There are so many that it can be confusing to decide what type is best for your business. And it is a decision you want to get right because the wrong decision can be very costly. Within this article, we are going to answer the question – what are serviced offices? We will be letting you know everything they have on offer and what makes them different from the more traditional office. 

What Are Serviced Offices? 

A serviced office is an office or office building that is fully equipped and ready to use with many facilities provided and a facility manager who manages the property. Unlike traditional offices, serviced offices charge monthly and everything, including WI-FI, heating, lighting etc,  is covered within this one monthly payment.

All maintenance and repairs will be taken care of by the facility manager so your business costs will be lower within a serviced office and you will have less responsibilities so you will have a lot less to worry about. 

And, although traditional office leases are getting shorter, you will still be looking at signing a one to three year lease. This can be expensive and hinder business growth. With serviced offices, you will be able to have a monthly rolling contract. With many serviced offices, including the ones we rent within some of our stores, your rolling contract will be flexible allowing the office to evolve with your business.

What Serviced Offices Will Offer You  

As we have already discussed, serviced offices come fully equipped and ready to use. This means that you don’t have to worry about getting the WI-FI set up or the electricity or heating. 

But a serviced office comes with many more perks. One of the biggest being that, as many different businesses use the space, you will be able to easily meet your fellow local businesses. This will give you a chance to network and find people you could collaborate with but it will also give you a sense of camaraderie and access to advice from people who have been running their own businesses for longer. Serviced offices will provide you with a space to work but to also meet new people and socialise. 

Many serviced offices, including ours, offer flexible rental contracts. This means that you can easily upgrade your office space as your business grows. Also, if you need to leave your office earlier than expected, flexible rental contracts. Within our stores, we just need the standard 14 days notice. We choose to only offer flexible rental contracts because we know running your own business can have ups and downs and we want your office space to be one less worry. 

Also, serviced offices will come with a helpful team on hand. The team within the serviced office will help you with any issues. If anything needs fixing, they will sort it out. Our teams will be here to help, every step of the way, and they are also happy to take in deliveries for you. This has proven to be very helpful to many of our current business customers.

Serviced offices are offices or office buildings that are fully equipped with all your business needs, including office furniture and WI-FI, and they are ready to go immediately.
