Signing up & Pricing - Serviced Offices
Completing the Serviced Office Solution
For some small business, taking the plunge and looking for an office can seem a daunting task. A number of approaches can be taken to find a serviced office that will fit a business’s requirements in terms of location, specification and price. The internet is obviously a good place to start with most operators having a web presence that will let you compare locations and services offered. Alternatively commercial property agents can be instructed to find appropriate serviced office space.
Paying for a serviced office is usually done through a monthly invoice and clients sign a licence agreement for the space that they will take – normally worked out on desk by desk basis. The fee is agreed during the sales process with extra cost added for IT and telecoms requirements. Any additional services that are used (such as meeting rooms) are added to the monthly bill.
As mentioned previously, serviced offices allow companies great flexibility to expand and contract and they also allow them to move in and out of offices very quickly. Businesses can generally move into their new offices within a week if they need to and sometimes within 24 hours. This will of course depend on what the office availability is within a certain location. Conversely, and unlike a conventional lease, a business can typically move out of a serviced office with as little as two or three months notice.
