The reasons why you should choose a Serviced Office are plenty.
The Serviced Office market has had huge growth over the last number of years and it is easy to see why. Multiple world-class buildings have opened up, extra desk space has been added and the available services and amenities just keep on improving.
This increased demand for Serviced Office space is due to the growing movement away from traditional office spaces. Companies are choosing this route as it opens up so many options for them and leaves them with the flexibility they need to grow their business.
Not only can they save your business money, but they can also help you to locate in areas that might have previously been out of your price range.
In this article, a Click Office expert has listed the A-Z of why you should choose a Serviced Office for your next office space.
The A-Z of why you should choose a Serviced Office
Availabilty.
A Serviced Office is one that you can move into almost immediately, so they are perfect for anyone with a short time frame in which they need to move or expand their business.
Business centre.
‘What actually is a business centre?’, I hear you ask. A business centre is operated by a company that provide a range of fully Serviced Offices to tenants on relatively short-term licenses and are a great option for businesses.
Co-working.
Co-working is a firm favourite among companies these days. It means you share your building space with other companies, making it a cheaper rental option.
Design-led spaces.
Many Serviced Offices have been designed with you and your business specifically in mind. The interiors, layouts and available services will reflect exactly who the building was designed for. If you’re not sure which building is for you, contact your Click Offices broker who will be happy to help you find the perfect space.
Environmental.
Many Serviced Offices are conscious about their carbon footprint and specifically design their spaces to ensure their building has little or reduced impact on the world around it.
Fully furnished.
Nearly all Serviced Offices come fully furnished, to incredibly high standards. This means you don’t need to worry about furnishing a space before you can work there, you can just walk right in and start working.
Great locations.
Choosing a Serviced Office opens up more options for you in terms of location. Usually, Serviced Offices are located in the heart of the city, close to transport links and near all of the amenities the city has to offer. As you will be sharing the building with other companies, your costs are reduced and you can afford to choose an impressive business address.
Hospitality.
Usually, your Serviced Office building will be managed by a dedicated in-house team. This team is on hand to help and assist you with anything you might need. A lot of buildings will also have in-house IT support, meaning you never have to deal with fixing the broadband ever again.
Incubator for start-ups.
Some Serviced Offices are built specifically as incubators and accelerators for start-ups. Their desk prices reflect the reality of a start-ups limited cash flow and you will be surrounded by other like-minded individuals, making it the perfect spot for networking.
Jump right into working.
Don’t worry about organising broadband or setting up the electricity in your new office space. As all of these services are already in place, you can start working as soon as you walk in the door.
Kitchens.
Serviced Offices usually come with full kitchens that your staff can use. In many buildings, things like teas and coffees are included in your monthly price.
Licence agreement – not a lease.
A lease is not a word you will come across in a Serviced Offices. SO are let on a licensing agreement, which are much shorter than lease agreements, meaning you won’t tie yourself into a long lease, giving you ultimate flexibility.
The A-Z continued
Meeting rooms.
In a standard office, you would have to rent a meeting room full-time, in addition to your office space. With SO, you only use and pay for the meeting room as you need it. Some buildings include free usage of the meeting rooms, up to a certain amount, and others charge you per hour for your meeting room use as you need it.
Networking.
Working in a SO means that you will be surrounded by other companies. These companies will be some of the most innovative and dynamic in the world, making them the perfect people to be networking with. Many SO buildings have monthly networking events specifically with this in mind.
One invoice.
You will only have one single invoice for all of your expenses for the month. This makes keeping track of costs and budgeting for the future incredibly easy.
Personality.
When you rent a SO you won’t get four blank walls and a desk. These spaces are designed and curated to be the most inspiring places for you to work. This includes the impressive interior and design of the buildings.
Quality.
In addition to your own work area, you may also have access to quality kitchens, showers, event spaces, communal areas and even in-house restaurants and cafes.
Reception services.
Instead of having to employ a full-time secretary for your company, some SO buildings offer a secretarial service. As you will share this service with other people in your building, it is a fraction of the price and may already be included in your monthly fee.
Scalability.
With a SO, you can change your space requirements quite easily. Need four extra desk spaces by Monday? Not a problem!
Technology.
Many SO buildings are fitted with state-of-the-art technology services, like fibre optic broadband, making your connectivity performance second to none.
Unique spaces.
SO buildings are very impressive and incredibly unique. Many have rooftop terraces and large event spaces for you to use.
Vacate easily.
As you are not tied to long-term leases, you can easily vacate your space if you need to, usually with just one or more month’s notice.
Xtra.
So many of the SO buildings on our books offer exciting in-house extras like cinemas, event spaces, yoga room and more, usually, all included in your monthly price.
Youthful.
Serviced Offices are an emerging and growing market. Due to this, many of the world’s most impressive and emerging companies choose a SO.
Zero stress.
Choosing a Serviced Office will mean everything is taken care of for you, and you can focus on what is important; running your business!
