No business enters the world fully formed and ready to corner the market. Most start off small, often with a core crew of employees, and build themselves up over the years into a company to be reckoned with. Small to medium-sized enterprises like this are among those businesses that can benefit most from renting a serviced office, giving themselves the facilities and flexibility they need to grow at a comfortable pace.
As a leading provider of serviced offices in Crewe, we’ve seen it for ourselves. In this article, we’re going to discuss some of the benefits renting a serviced office can provide to your business.
What is a serviced office?
A serviced office is an office that comes with everything you need for your business to hit the ground running. Sometimes referred to as a managed or executive office, serviced offices come furnished and include all your utilities, such as lighting, heating, internet access and more in your monthly rental fee. They often include additional services, such as cleaning, reception staff, and security.
Who uses serviced offices?
Anybody can rent a serviced office in Crewe or elsewhere in the country, with it simply being a place to set up your work equipment and run your business. That said, certain types of businesses can benefit more from a serviced office, such as fast-growing businesses that have outgrown their premises and need additional office space quickly, and companies that are expanding into new territories and need a flexible rental space to use as a satellite office. As we’ve already noted, new start-ups, entrepreneurs, and businesses with small teams can really make a difference with a serviced office.
Benefits of renting a serviced office
Cost-effective
A serviced office gives you everything you need to run your business, apart from your own equipment and staff. It comes with furniture, high-speed wireless internet access, utility bills, and more included in the cost of rental. Not only is it cost-effective, but it also saves you the hassle of arranging those utilities yourself.
Flexible leases
When you’re starting or expanding your business, you don’t want to be tied down to a lengthy lease on your office. Serviced offices are often rented on a rolling contract basis, payable month by month. If your circumstances change and you need to give up your office, you can do so with no fuss.
Scalable
You might be starting out as a one- or two-person business, but who knows where your venture will take you? If you need to move to a larger serviced office a few months down the line to accommodate more staff, your provider will be able to arrange that for you, keeping you on site in most cases.
Useful facilities
Most serviced offices come with a range of useful facilities included in your rental fee. Here at Weston Centre Business Hub, for instance, we provide mailbox services, free WiFi, a parcel dispatch and receipt service (including text or email notification), free parking, 24 hour CCTV surveillance, and a team of professional business centre support staff.
Round-the-clock Access
