The idea of a Serviced Office has seen huge surges in popularity in the last few years – but what is a Serviced Office?
A Serviced Office is an office or building that is fully equipped and managed by a facility management company. They then rent out individual offices or floors to other companies. Serviced Offices are also known as Managed Offices or Flexible Offices.
Click Offices helps centre owners to rent their spaces out and helps match clients with the perfect Serviced Office for their needs.
There are huge client benefits to renting a Serviced Office including the option to take advantage of flexible terms, meaning a client does not need to tie themselves to a long lease. Serviced Offices allow companies to become operational within a few days, as opposed to weeks or even months when dealing with longer-term office options. This allows companies to focus on running their business without having to worry about the day-to-day property management issues.
Serviced Offices offer companies the flexibility they need in order to grow within their market. With little or no capital investment required to establish an office, Serviced Offices have proved very popular with Start-Ups and incoming FDI companies, as well as being favoured by many existing, more established companies.
Centres generally price their spaces as ‘per desk, per month’. Factors that will influence this pricing include the location in the building, as Serviced Offices allow companies to locate in prestigious locations that they may not previously have been able to afford, and the number of desks taken and for how long. Pricing per centre will differ due to the differences in the location of the building, the design and the services provided.
All centres include heat, electricity, cleaning, rates, maintenance, services fees and furniture costs in their pricing. Some centres also include the price of broadband, phone line rental and the use of meeting rooms. Additional costs for broadband, phone line rental, meeting rooms or beverages can range from between €/£50 to €/£150 extra per person per month. These additional costs can quite often be very important in the final decision-making process, so it is important to us that a client is provided with all the necessary information.
Click Offices supply a free search and support service. We do this by giving our clients detailed listings of all Serviced Office centres in their desired locations. Users can search for properties, shortlist their favourites and we will email them a report with the results that will best suit their needs and budgets. Alternatively, clients can speak to Click Offices directly and have them undertake the search for them. Click Offices will gather all of the most relevant and suitable spaces from various Serviced Offices centres and present the best choices to the client.
Most of our centres can cater for 1-30 desk offices. Certain centres will have a larger capacity for 30-100 desks, while others have the capacity for 100+ desk spaces.
