Starting your own business is easier in modern day, with fast internet connections and social media. But many businesses still benefit from an office space. Here, we will look at seven reasons as to why you should choose a serviced office in Bicester. 

Many more people in the UK are starting or thinking about starting their own business. In 2024, there were 5.5 million private sector businesses. A report produced by Start Up Ambition shows that 47% of UK adults are thinking of starting their own business. 

Most new businesses start within their founders home. This is a great place to start as it will reduce overhead costs but, you will find that as your business grows, you will need more space and a space in which you can really focus on work. 

Within this article, we will look at seven reasons as to why you should rent a serviced office in Bicester. 

What Is A Serviced Office? 

A serviced office space is a space that’s all set up and ready to go from the date you move in. 

Another company or landlord will manage all the utilities, bills and the daily maintenance of the building, so you do not have to worry about getting the electricity turned on, installing WI-FI or fixing any issues. Also, unlike traditional offices, you will not have to sign a long three to five year lease. You will be able to have a monthly rolling contract. 

Many come with a range of services and facilities available with the serviced offices such as meeting room, furniture, computers, printers and WI-FI. 

A serviced office allows you to focus on growing your business without all the hassle.

7 Reasons To Rent A Serviced Office In Bicester 

Now we know what a serviced office actually is, we are ready to dive into why you should rent a serviced office in Bicester. 

1. Flexibility

With a traditional office space, you will be expected to sign a lease that is anything from three to ten years. This is not good for a new business that will likely see significant growth in the first couple of years. You do not want to be trapped paying for an office space that no longer supports your business. 

Serviced offices in Bicester will give you much more flexibility. Many serviced offices come with a monthly, rolling rental contract. This means that you will never be trapped in a long-term contract for an office you no longer need. And you will be able to change your office space, without any issue, whenever you need to. 

2. Cost Effective 

Serviced offices in Bicester are much more cost effective than traditional offices. When leasing a traditional office, you have to pay the initial fees, ongoing rent, maintenance, utilities, business rates, buy furniture and equipment and pay for staff. 

With a serviced office, your rental fee will cover all of this and more, making it the more affordable option in the longer term. 

3. Everything Is Included 

Serviced offices in Bicester are also more cost effective than a traditional office because everything is included in your rental price. 

Serviced offices in Bicester come fully furnished with office furniture. Utilities, such as lighting, heating and WI-FI,  are included within the rental price.  

Many serviced offices also offer access to meeting rooms and a small kitchen space where you can get hot drinks

4. Premium Locations 

Being in a great location can do wonders for your business, as well as encouraging employees  to come into the office more often. With a serviced office, you are more likely to be able to afford a better location as they are more cost effective. 

Our serviced offices in Bicester are just a 5 minute drive or 18 minute walk from Bicester town centre, making them excellent for local businesses. Our serviced offices in Bicester are also only a 42 minute direct train away from London so you could have an easy commute to the capital without having to pay premium London prices for an office space.

5. Maintenance Is Taken Care Of 

Maintaining an office space, day in, day out, can really add up. It also adds an extra layer of stress when an issue arises or something breaks. 

When you rent a serviced office in Bicester, the stress is off you as the maintenance of the office is on the company/landlord who owns the offices. 

6. Networking Opportunities

Renting a serviced office in Bicester will give you many networking opportunities as you will be able to meet a whole range of companies from all industries and sectors within the office building. 

You may find someone to work with in some capacity or, if you are a new business owner, you may find someone who can act as a mentor and someone you can turn to for advice. At the very least, you will have people who understand what it is like to be a business owner and how hard it can be at times. This will help you feel less isolated and will help with motivation to keep going. 

7. Get Straight To Work 

With a more traditional office space, your business and work will have to have a little downtime as you move into it. 

You will have to pack everything up from your current space, move it to the new one, unpack, perhaps buy new furniture, sort out the utilities, the phone line and the internet.  

With a serviced office in Bicester, there are none of these worries. Once you have signed your rental agreement, your office will be ready the next day for you to move in and get straight to work.
