Businesses operate more successfully when they are run from premises that best suit the business needs: large amount of space, constant internet access, practical workstations, etc. As a business grows, it is likely that the needs of the business will also expand.
Further, an office that has someone constantly there to deal with customers is beneficial to all small business managers, particularly sole-traders.
That someone may take the form of a receptionist or telephone assistant. A respectable mailing address is another benefit that businesses may look for.
For the small business manager, the call for an office that meets the needs of the business may be nothing more than a requirement out of reach. This can be down to:
- A tight budget allowing little funds for a rented office
- The local area having a lack of such offices
- Availability - you may not be able to move into an office for, say, 6 months
Therefore, in a small business world where time is crucial, finding ideal premises for immediate use is important: just as being able to meet the needs of the business is.
The solution: Serviced Offices - Available worldwide and provided by a number of companies.
What Are Serviced Offices?
Serviced Offices are leased by property owners to provide effective solutions to businesses looking for premises and business opportunities. They are ready for instant use and are fully furnished in addition to providing services such as:
Meeting and conferencing facilities (including video conferencing)
Interview rooms
Training rooms
Presentation rooms
Air conditioning
Catering
* Most serviced offices will include PCs if needed but at some extra (often high) cost.
The above services will vary from place to place but just about everywhere will cater for a majority of your needs, and if you are lucky - all of them. You should also be aware that serviced offices can be found for businesses looking at the budgeting end of the scale right through to executive style office space.
A typical office would accommodate for 5 to 10 people but this will vary from place to place. In areas such as London, the demand for serviced offices from larger businesses has seen offices accommodate from 50 to 500 people.
The serviced offices can usually be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and constant security is provided by security guards.
It should be noted that the services provided are usually not just available to those businesses that rent out an office.
