The Way Business
will Work in the Future
The demand
for Serviced Offices shows no sign of slowing and has bucked the trend in the
economic turndown, by becoming more popular, in the UK and abroad.
A recent
report has stated that within the next five years the number of people using
serviced offices is set to double, good news indeed for property investors.
The reason
for its popularity is mainly based on cost. Start-up companies, in particular
don’t want to blow their whole budget on office space and equipment, but at the
same time they don’t want to be stuck in some dark and gloomy building on the
wrong side of town.
Serviced
Offices offer the best of both worlds.
You pay only for the space you need on a
monthly basis. As you don’t have to shell out all your savings on a lease, you
can afford to use the money on the rental of a serviced office in a decent
area, with modern facilities and at an affordable price.
Some people
may argue that buying or leasing an office is a better option for the future,
but the number of people now using serviced offices contradicts this opinion.
The fact is
that Serviced Offices can provide flexibility, comfort, prestige, great
facilities and convenience.
Flexibility
You can rent
a serviced office on a monthly basis, which means if your business expands and
you need more space, or, you decide you don’t like the location after all;
moving is not a problem. There are no lengthy contracts or leases.
Comfort
A good
serviced office will be set in a purpose built office block, or a quality
conversion. The furnishings will be modern and comfortable and the equipment
will be new and simple to use.
Prestige
If you
want an address that will impress, you can rent a serviced office in an
area that is well known for its wealthy residents and its luxurious
properties.
Facilities
Serviced
offices normally have a kitchen area and some now have on site Gyms, or are
close to Health Clubs or Swimming Pools. Working facilities include
photocopiers, secretarial assistance, IT support and a Reception.
Convenience
Once you’ve
found the serviced office space you want to rent. You can literally move in
within a day. No waiting around and no wasted time. Just plug in your phone and
turn on your computer.
