Serviced offices provide some fantastic options for the small business owner who needs an office space but does not have the means to set up and provide everything that a traditional office requires.
This type of office is owned by a facility management company who will provide, in exchange for a rental fee, several much needed services, benefits, and facilities that the small business owner will almost certainly need. These spaces are often run on a more flexible or short-term lease, and it is designed that way so that if the business changes size or needs in a short period of time, a change in location is easy to accommodate.
Sometimes, serviced offices are most needed for businesses because they need a local regional office, and have their main, corporate offices far distances away. Perhaps they just need a small, and sometimes temporary, presence in an area. The low capital often associated with small or new businesses means they benefit from this set up, and this helps them quickly acquire what they need without a large investment. Some other business needs that this type of office is also good for include overflow office space, interim, and project based. As you can see, there is a huge diversity in the need for this type of office.
With serviced offices, many things are provided that benefit these types of businesses. Some of the services that are typically offered include receptionist service, IT service, administrative assistance, and telecom services. Having these services up and running is a large part of the struggle in a traditional business. You must interview staff people, and then hope that you have picked a few good apples. Facilities that are often overwhelmingly costly for temporary or new businesses that this type of office space frequently provides includes meeting rooms, conference rooms, security, insurance, utilities, and furniture. Without these items, some of these businesses could not function at the level they want to. Furniture alone can run a company thousands of dollars to get set up with just the basics.
For many businesses there are huge benefits to choosing serviced offices over traditional offices. You may have to thoroughly look at the terms to see which method of set up will work best for you. Leasing terms that are flexible in time and space size, included support staff for no-interview start-up, very low or no start up costs, maintenance which is often included, legitimate sounding addresses often located in business plazas, pre-furnished offices, and immediate availability of space are some of the excellent features of these type of offices.
