Fully serviced offices

There is more and more reason for new businesses to use short term leases in fully serviced offices with fully manned staff. 

If a business is very new then this is a good way to ‘test the water’ with the industry and do it in the most economical way possible.

Should you be looking for a short term lease in serviced offices then you can choose from a range of options but what you will get as part of the price are office furniture items and serviced meeting rooms with luxury office furnishings.

For slightly more money you can pay staff on the reception area through the company to provide you with a telephone answering service, postal services and a ‘meet and greet’ service.

Following on from this concept the United States has many organisations that cater for short term office lease customers – this could even mean hiring the office for the day.  The concept of the ‘mobile’ serviced office is to create a community of people that are based at home normally but would like to enjoy the perks of a real office with office furniture and great work spaces.  Also, they can choose to mix with the people who use the facility and thus create an office atmosphere.

Franz is part of the younger generation of new business owners and he said:

“In the past, offices were viewed as a place to hire employees and keep them,” Franz said. “But many employees today don’t want to come in, especially not if they can get the job done closer to home. Offices are changing—slowly—to the mobile model.”
