More and more companies utilise the ready to go facilities a serviced office provides when it comes to project work, whether it be for short or long periods of time. And for commercial real estate companies a serviced office can provide a much needed back up when a clients building or floor refurbishments take longer then has been accounted for.

So besides office space and flexibility of terms, what can a serviced office offer you?

For many businesses, the serviced office industry provides an entry point for their first corporate presence, minus the cost of establishing and leasing an office. Traditional office space can be very costly to set up; there is the office fit out and cost of furniture, PABX, data cabling and telephone handsets, internet set up and cabling, faxes, photocopiers and other assorted office machinery to buy and maintain. Plus you will pay for the space you set up as meeting or boardrooms as part of your lease regardless of the fact that you might only use them once or twice a week. And then you have to find and pay for quality reception/secretarial staff or temp staff should they be off sick for the day or on holiday.

A serviced office removes these expenses and replaces them with a small set up fee and a once a month charge which gives you access to a fully staffed, professional reception area and access to board and meeting rooms. The offices are fully furnished and well appointed, all cabling and telephone & internet requirements have been taken care of before you walk in the door on day one. There is no need to worry about electricity, cleaning, maintenance etc as these are included within the monthly fee.
