If you are thinking about moving to a serviced office but are unsure if it is going to be worth it, we have done the research for you and put together five of the main benefits that serviced offices have to offer.

Location

It could take years to find the perfect property in your ideal business location and not to mention the potential cost. Serviced offices are usually at the heart of busy towns and cities meaning you can set up in your dream location without having to invest in a property of your own.

Placing your business in a central location will open up more opportunities in the local market and means that your customers or clients can easily visit you if needed.

Speed

With furniture and facilities already in place, all that your new services office is missing is you! This means that moving in is usually quick and painless, perfect for businesses that want to keep up with demand and grow quickly.

Services

We all know how difficult it is to divide up cleaning duties within a team of busy staff and employing a cleaner can be expensive. With a serviced office all of this stress is taken care of with cleaners coming regularly to all offices. This is also usually done outside of office hours for minimal disruption. Outdoor maintenance will also be taken care of so that you don’t have to think about cutting the grass or ensuring that the office surroundings are neat and tidy.

Parking within busy towns and cities can be a complete headache and if you can’t offer free parking for potential customers or clients this can set you off on the wrong foot. Many serviced offices have free onsite parking which is a huge benefit.

Investing in furniture for a small or growing business can be a daunting task, ergonomic and stylish office furniture does not come cheap! Opting for a serviced office space means that usually furniture is provided (can be optional) so all that you need to worry about is which desk to choose for yourself!

Finding you should be easy for customers, clients and staff members as serviced offices will be well signposted and have already invested in this infrastructure so that you don’t have to. There is also often a reception in serviced offices which is really helpful for deliveries or pointing people in the right direction to find you once they arrive.

Facilities management for an office is a job role in itself, sorting internet, phone lines and security systems. Making the leap to a serviced office means that all of these items are covered and maintained for you. If you are lucky there will also be tea and coffee available within the main coworking spaces.

Flexibility

There is often several options for lease types within serviced offices so if you are a commitment phobe then you can always start of with a short-term lease to test the waters before moving towards something more long term. There is also flexibility with how and where you work within serviced offices, you may have your main hub within the office room that you rent but you could choose to work within the allocated co-workign areas or even outside on the rare occasion that the sun makes an appearance.

Networking

Speaking of co-working, this is a great tool for networking with the other businesses within your office building. Many great connections are made this way and you would be surprised how many of the other businesses are offering services that you could benefit from at some point during your business journey.

These relationships will also help you build a local presence and you will be able to quickly build your brand within your target area. Not to mention that serviced offices often host networking events to help local businesses connect and showcase what they do.
