What are serviced offices?
A serviced office or office building is fully equipped and managed by a facility management company, who rents individual offices or floors to other companies. Serviced offices can also be described as managed offices, executive centres or business centres, and are usually found in large cities or business districts.
Serviced offices are often preferable over standard leased offices which often require furnishings, equipment and have restrictive leases. Serviced offices however, contain the essentials and offer more flexible rental terms. Due to theses reasons serviced offices are normally more popular with business start-ups and small scale representatives of large companies.
Serviced offices can provide many extras such as conference rooms, meeting rooms, projectors, and secretarial support, normally on a pay-per-use basis. Some serviced offices may include bars/restaurants in their building providing extra areas for meetings and socialising.
Serviced offices normally include: full time security, heating/air-conditioning, telecom connections, IT infrastructure and internet and furniture.
Other benefits can include prestigious addresses, maintenance, flexible leasing, low start-up cost and immediate availability plus more.
